OSID - osid.grading.GradeEntryLookupSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.grading.GradeEntryLookupSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.grading.GradingManager`
Used By	`osid.grading.GradingProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods for retrieving `GradeEntrie` s. This session defines views that offer differing behaviors when retrieving multiple objects. comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete set or is an error condition isolated gradebook view: All grade entry methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to grade entries defined explicitly in the current gradebook. Using an isolated view is useful for managing grade entries with the `GradeEntryAdminSession`. federated gradebook view: All grade entry methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all grade entries defined in this gradebook and any other gradebooks implicitly available in this gradebook through gradebook inheritence. effective grade entry view: All grade entry lookup methods return entries where the current date falls in between the effective dates inclusive. any effective grade entry view: Grade entries of any effective date are returned from methods. Grade entries may have an additional records indicated by their respective record types. The record may not be accessed through a cast of the `GradeEntry`.
Method	getGradebookId
