1.1 matthew 1: \label{Spreadsheet_Row_Numbers}
2:
3: LON-CAPA ensures every row in a spreadsheet is uniquely and persistently
4: assigned a row number. Once a row number is used, it cannot be reused.
5: The following sections describe the consequences
1.3 ! lira 6: of this and answer ``why are the rows of the spreadsheet out of order?.''\\

1.1 matthew 9: \textbf{Assessment Spreadsheet}
10:
11: Every parameter associated with an assessment has a unique row in the
12: assessment level spreadsheet. As new parameters are encountered they
13: are assigned the next available row number. Adding a parameter to an
14: assessment thus results in the new parameter appearing at the bottom of
15: the spreadsheet. Since the default spreadsheet definition must cover all
16: of the assessments in the course, there are likely to be a large number of
1.3 ! lira 17: parameters available.\\
1.1 matthew 18:
1.2 riegler 19: \noindent
1.1 matthew 20: \textbf{Student Spreadsheet}
21:
22: The student level spreadsheet displays information about each assessment
23: in the course. The row numbers are initially assigned based on the order
24: in which assessments appear in the course. If a new assessment is
25: added at a later time, it will be assigned the next higher row number.
26: Regardless of the row number, the assessment will appear in the proper place
1.3 ! lira 27: in the course structure.\\

1.1 matthew 30: \textbf{Course Spreadsheet}
31:
1.3 ! lira 32: The rows of the course spreadsheet are assigned to students when they are
! 33: encountered processing the class list. Each student is
1.1 matthew 34: assigned a row number the first time they are present in the course.
35: The rows are listed alphabetized by the students full name and the row
36: numbers are assigned in this order. If a student is later added, they
37: will appear in the proper place alphabetically in the spreadsheet but
38: their row number will not be in sequence.
