Use the Assessment window to view or modify results for any student belonging to the assessment code of the class you are currently processing.

For example, if 07MATHSR, 07MATHSF and 07MATHSJ all have an assessment code of 07MATHS, you can assess all these classes at the same time.

The Assessment window allows you to mark results:

  • quickly by using a keyboard-only entry that skips disabled fields
  • for the whole assessment code simultaneously with other staff members
  • in a pared-down mode that responds more quickly than the Assessment (legacy) window
  • that are automatically saved as each result is changed.

  1. Select Curriculum > Results Maintenance from the SynWeb main menu.

Entering results

Note: Results maintenance now checks the Rprts Prntd and Athr Stppd fields under the Year Level area in File Semester Maintenance. This allows the user lock out results for a single year level without affecting other levels. See Student File Semester Maintenance - File Semester tab in the Synergetic Curriculum manual. 
 


Note: If another staff member is already editing the results for that class, the results are locked and you cannot add or change any results. If results are locked, a message appears at the top of the Results Maintenance window.



You enter results for students by:

  • choosing the relevant grid cell
  • typing or selecting the result.

To move around the grid:

  • use the mouse and click in the required cell
  • press the Tab key to move to the cell immediately to the right

    Note: In some instances you need to tab more than once to bypass buttons, particularly on the Single window.
  • press the Shift and Tab keys at the same time to move to the preceding cell.

When the cursor is positioned in a cell, you can use the Alt + down arrow key to select a result and down arrow to cycle through the available options.

Note: SynWeb will display the following window if changes have not been saved.

You must always click  before you move to another screen to avoid losing your changes.
 

Tip: Use the Minutes until Autosave field at the bottom of the browser to check when you last saved your changes.

Each column contains results for each of the assessment areas for this class, recorded against each student.

The type of result and result group is indicated in the header field. For example, Grammar Test (Grade) (G2) indicates the Grammar Test uses a Grade result type (A to F) and belongs to the G2 result group.

Note: Organisations using the Victorian Curriculum framework can select the Did Not Participate (DNP) result when a student is unable to complete an assessment.

When this option is selected you must select a result classification to indicate why the student could not complete the assessment. See the Classification field below.
