Attributes can also be used to create a sub-set of your class when needed. To create this sub-set, an attribute and its corresponding value must be specified. You can also select students based on other information stored in MicroGrade such as attendance, an assignment or an overall class grade.

For example, suppose that you want to know how many resource students are in your class. (Assume that you have already created pull-out as an attribute, resource as a value and assigned that attribute to the appropriate students). The following example illustrates how to select and to create a report on this sub-set of the total class.

1. From the Students menu, choose Select Students. The Select Students dialog will display.
2. From the left drop-down menu in the first row of menus, choose Student.
3. Use your mouse to move to the drop-down menu immediately to the right and choose Pull-out (or the desired attribute).
4. Use your mouse to move to the third drop-down menu in the first row and choose the equal symbol (=).
5. Again, use your mouse to click on top of the down arrow immediately to the right of the last text box and choose Resource (or the desired value) from the drop-down menu.
6. Click on the Calculate button.
   MicroGrade automatically calculates how many resource students are in your class. You could now print a class roster (or other report) listing these specific students.
   NOTE: If you wish to select students based on a combination of attributes, click on the ANDs or ORs radio button in the Combine Attributes With box and choose additional selection criteria from the remaining rows in the top portion of the dialog.
7. To continue, click OK.
