Subject Assessment Area Maintenance - Comments bar
Use the Comments bar to create a comment bank for the various subject assessments or areas. Comment banks can also be linked to a subject or to a staff member.
There are two Comments areas:
- This bar, which is used for adding overall comments for subject assessments.
- The tab on the Area bar, which is used for adding overall comments for assessment areas. See Subject Assessment Area Maintenance - Area bar - Comments tab.
The comment bank allows teachers to select pre-approved comments to include in their reports.
Tip: Use the comment bank facility to save time and to minimise the variation in reports.
