This guide explains the process involved for creating Tracking Templates and assigning Assessment Sheets for Data Entry and viewing of data by Teachers at Student level.

Access: The minimum permissions required to access Assessment is found in the Assessment Module of Config>Setup>Roles & Permissions.

Important Note: Before you can create a Tracking Template you need to ensure that you have set up any Associations, Marksets, Grade Sets and Assessment Types. See here for setting up Assessment Components.

This can be done in Modules>Assessment>Assessment Components.

Columns can also be included for Formulas, Key Student Information and Historic Data.

For example if you need to collect Marks from a test or collect regular predictions you would create a Template here for Teachers to view and enter their Grades in Assessment Sheets through Registers and an icon at the top or on their Dashboard Page.

From the left Menu go to Modules >  Assessment  > Manage Templates.

To setup the Tracking Template click on the New button.

This will open the Template Details page.

Name  –  a title for your Sheet for example Year 10 Assessment Data.

Tip: For the Subject Name to show in the Assessment Sheet use square brackets around the title : example Year 10 [Subject] Assessment Data.

Notes  –  a description for your Sheet

Heading  –  which way you want the text to appear in column headings, Horizontal or Vertical

Due Date  –  used to set reminders for Teachers to enter data at a Data Collection Point.

Active  –  mark it Active to make it visible to Teachers or untick so Teachers will not see it, you may wish to leave them hidden until all are completed or until they are ready for Data Entry

Year Group  –  select a Year Group from the dropdown list

Subjects  –  select the Subject from the dropdown list, more than one can be selected. This enables you to create Assessment Sheets for many different Subjects at the same time and it keeps them all in the same format.

Add Columns to the Sheet

When selected the Fine Assessment Settings pop-up is displayed for the selected Row.

The Auto Calculate is selected from the dropdown list and can be Disabled, Simple Average, Sum of All Assessments, Best of All Assessments or Weighting, when complete click the Save button.

Then when the Fine Assessment is setup in the Marksheet the selected column will show with an icon and there will be an option to Set Fine Assessment in the right click context menu.
