Results Maintenance - Class (legacy) window

You can use either the Single window, the Class (legacy) window or the Class window to maintain assessment results for individual students. The window you use is determined by your individual preference.

Tip:
The Class
window has several advantages over the Class (legacy) window including keyboard only entry, simultaneous marking with other staff members, faster operation and automatic saving. See Results Maintenance - Class window.

On the Class window, you can see the results for several students with each assessment area in a column. With the Single window you can only see the results for one student at a time. See Results Maintenance - Single window.

Note:
Your organisation may have disabled this window. See UseResultsFast configuration setting in the System maintenance manual.

Tip: The class information at the top of the window can be modified. For example the default setting can be modified to display a shortened version . See PanelHeader configuration setting in the Synergetic System Maintenance manual.

Entering results


Tip:

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 displays a confirmation window if you attempt to navigate away from the page and changes have not been saved. You must always click before you move to another screen to avoid losing your changes.
