Please improve the way Marking period Grades that come from different Grade Plan groups are displayed in the same column on the NEW Report Card Builder. Currently Blackbaud suggests that if you want the marking period 1 averages from the "Year No Exam" Grade Plan Group and the marking period 1 averages from the "Year Regents Exam" Grade Plan Group to be displayed in the same column on the New Report Card Builder we have to change the marking period labels to be the same. So what Blackbaud is saying, is that we need make these two changes: 1.) "Year No Exam" Grade Plan Group marking period label from "MP1 Year No Exam" to just  "MP1" and 2.) "Year Regents Exam" Grade Plan Group marking period label from "MP1 Year Regents Exam" to just "MP1". This is not the best way to put the averages into one column because it leaves the door open to making mistakes when editing the grade plans. For example if you choose the "Year No Exam" Grade Plan Group, click the view button, and edit "MP1". Then you choose the " Year Regents Exam" Grade Plan Group, But  FORGET to click the view button. In that case you would be editing "MP1" from the "Year No Exam" Grade Plan group and you would not know it. Please create a different way to display averages from different grade plan groups in the same column. Please see the attached PDF file for screen shots.
