Setting Up My Student Information
J1 Desktop Setup
Several features allow the user to create custom reports that the user can see from within the feature. During installation, several reports (InfoMaker .pbl files) are copied into default directories on the web server that these features access. You should update the location of the customized reports for the My Student Information feature.
Perform the following steps to configure J1 Desktop to support this feature.
