Important Information About this Tool
Filters
Before you begin, use the Filters at the top of the screen to narrow down the number of activities that display. The Previous option is selected by default. When the Prior Year Only checkbox is marked, only activities from the prior calendar year display. Clearing or changing filters does not change which activities are selected.
View Selections
If you are rolling a lot of activities forward and want to quickly remove activities after they are selected, click the View Selections button to display the Selected panel and clear the checkboxes next to the activities you do NOT want to roll forward.
Preapproval Required
Activities marked as Preapproval Required must go through the preapproval process after the activity is rolled forward. Use the Activity Monitor or the Activity Dashboard to complete the preapproval process. Activities that are associated with more than one school and more than one Preapproval Configuration cannot be rolled forward. Instead, create separate activity records for the applicable schools.
