Results Maintenance - Class window

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

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.

The Class window allows you to mark results:

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

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.
