Student Manager provides a mapping report function that will display addresses on an interactive map in the Internet Explorer web browser.
IMPORTANT: only valid addresses can be mapped.
Setting Up Address Mapping

- Obtain the Mapping files from your ACEware technician, or download* them from the Student Manager Tools website:
https://www.aceware.com/80version/tools/mapping.zip
*You need the customer password to download the files. Contact your ACEware technician if you don't have it.
- Unzip the Mapping.zip files into your Student Manager folder.
- Modify your desired Mailing Label report, add the Mapping() function to it, and save your changes.
Generate Address Map
- Run the Address Mapping report you created (see Setting Up Address Mapping section above).
- You will asked to choose the mapping address, i.e. Name or Firm addresses:
- Internet Explorer will now open with the addresses mapped. The system will display a red dot for all addresses, centered on the first address in your report. Use the zoom tools to view other addresses.
