Simplify new School year setup/Grade Plan/Plan Description Process
Some spring 2017 changes to onRecord grading have resulted in a complicated workflow for schools copying existing grade plans. When copying a grade plan in School year setup, you are asked to select a Plan Description from an existing list of Grade plans. Confusingly, you find Grade Plans in School year setup and you find Plan Descriptions in Grade plans. There is no option to add a new Plan Description when copying a grade plan, so you are forced to cancel out, go to Grade plans and create that description. Then you can go back to School year setup to copy the existing Grade Plan to a new term.
In addition, when adding Plan Descriptions in Grade plans, there is a pop-up window for the name of the grade plan. The buttons are Cancel and Save & Close. It would be very helpful to have a button to save and add additional grade plans.

Also, the Grade Plan and Grade Plan Grades naming is confusing; if the titles could be changed to what they are - Term plans and then Grade plans for Terms would also be a big help... I think the old way of being able to Type in a description was a lot faster than the drop-down selection. thanks!
Much of managing grade plans has been over complicated by these changes. Now you have to jump around sections to set up the names of things and add descriptions before you can add them or change them. Please allow the adding of new things directly in the grade plan.
