Observer uses a standard menu scheme that has many functions in common with other Windows-based programs. Only a few menu items deserve special mention:
Observation Menu
The Observatin Menu contains two items: Begin Observation and Finish Observation. Begin Observation is disabled until you select a teacher, grade level, and subject from the Observations tab. Finish Observation is disabled until you have initiated an observation.
Tools, Prepare for Full Sync
It shouldn't be necessary to use this feature, but if you are having problems syncing records to the handheld, try this. It forces every record to reset its sync flag, forcing the record to be synced.
