Description

The luReportResultType lookup table is used to define the attributes of an assessment area.

For example, you want to specify that only certain values can be selected for entry against an assessment area. This can be done by changing the Mask field.

NumericFlag

Numeric-Flag

Restrict the value entered to a numeric value.

Allows a mask to be entered as ,0-100 and then allows any numeric value in this range to be selected.

 

Mask

Range of valid result values. Staff can only enter values within the range specified.

For example, an Override Mask of 0-100 restricts your values to between 0 and 100. You can have a numeric or alphanumeric result.

In most cases, it is a good idea to have a comma at the front of your mask. This allows you to select a blank value for the result. If you do not have the leading comma, you will have to enter a value for every student. Use a comma to separate each result value.

Note: You only have to select a Result Type when entering an override result mask if the results are numeric. In this case, select a numeric Result Type, for example MARK, as well as entering an Override Mask.

Numeric masks. For example:

  • ",0-10"
  • ",0-100"
  • ",80-0"

If the higher number is first then the numbers are in descending order, rather than ascending order.

You can also:

  • Specify a mask as 100-0(0.5). This generates a value list of 100, 99.5, 99, 98.5 ... 0. If you leave off the (0.5) suffix then the default increment is 1.
  • Force a fixed decimal place by specifying a mask such as 100.0-0(0.5). This generates a value list of 100.0, 99.5, 99.0, 98.5, 98.0 ... 0.0.
  • Specify a larger increment by specifying a mask such as 100-0(2). This generates a value list of 100, 98, 96 ... 0.

Make sure that it goes down to 0 (zero) so that even students who receive a 0 will get a grade.

Alphanumeric masks. If you want to define values like Beginning, Consolidating, Established then you set up these values as follows:

  • “,B|Beginning, C|Consolidating, E|Established”

  • “,G|Good, VG|Very Good, E|Excellent”

  • “,A+, A, B, B+, C, C+, UG”

The pipe (vertical bar) within each type indicates that the characters before it is the value stored in the database. Those characters (for example, B) and the description after them (Beginning) are displayed when you enter results. You do not need to use the pipe but it is recommended so that you are only storing B and not Beginning in the database for each result.

Also see How the combined result is displayed in the Assessments and reports manual.

 

DefaultValue

-ValueDefault

value entered in Student Results Maintenance for the selected result type.

This is useful where most students receive a given result. For example, if using the SN result type (Satisfactory/Not satisfactory) all students would be initially marked with an S (Satisfactory). The result would be changed to N for any students whose performance was judged as unsatisfactory.

When defining assessment areas that apply a mask, you can use the Mark Out of field to set an upper limit to the results that can be entered. This minimises the number of masks that are required, if assessments have a different Mark Out of value.
