You can print assessment worksheets, group assessment worksheets and other reports. See Key assessment and reporting reports.
Department administrators can define and alter the style of reporting independently of how results and comments are entered by staff. If required, department administrators can enforce:
- result types, using their own edit masks
- lengths of comments, to ensure comments fit on a uniform report layout
- comments to be used, if they want to restrict staff to standard department agreed comments.
