When the student reports have been printed, you can finalise the term by:
- marking the selected year and term as having had student reports printed
- deleting any unused result and comment records
- deleting any backed up results from the selected term and any prior terms.
Note: The words semester, term and reporting period are used interchangeably.
Note: Synergetic archives each change to student results throughout the reporting period. It is important to run the Finalise Term program at the end of each reporting period to clear these archives and improve performance.
To finalise the term:
- Select Module > Students > Finalise Term.... from the main menu.
The Finalise Term window is displayed.
- Scroll down to the year and semester to process.
