Use the Area tab of the Area bar to maintain details of subject assessment areas.
Read only results
Some of the results columns in Results Maintenance may be greyed out, rendering them read only. In the following example, the Weighted Average and Ranking fields that have a formula associated with them. A result column is automatically set to read only if:
- An assessment area is the target of a Summarise to Seq field. See Linking subject assessment areas using the Summarise to Seq field in the Synergetic Assessment and reports manual.
- An assessment area has a formula attached to it. See Subject Assessment Area Maintenance <SynwebSubjectAssessmentMaintenanceWindowTitle> - Area bar - Formula tab
Anchor H_32895 H_32895 (on page ).
If you have a custom calculation procedure you can manually set a result column to read only by either selecting a Result Type with a SynergyMeaning of Heading. See luReportResultType lookup table in the Synergetic System maintenance manual.
