What is Template Processing Used For?
Template Processing allows you to recalculate any Formula Columns in your Assessment Sheets, without having to open the Assessment Sheet, which may be useful if you are importing large amounts of Assessment Data through Manage Data. It will also recalculate any Grade Colours on your Assessment Sheets which might be useful if you are pulling the colours through to any Web Merge reports.
Creating a Template Processing Set
Before you can run Template Processing, you will need to create a Template Processing Set, this allows you to specify which Assessment Sheet Templates you would like to run Template Processing for.
First, go to Modules > Assessment > Manage Templates
Next, select Actions and then Template Processing.
In the pop-up that appears, select New
In the Set Name field, enter a name for the Set that will help you identify which Templates are included in the Set.
Once you’ve named the Set, click Add
This will open a list of all of your Assessment Templates, select the Templates to be added to the Set by clicking on them once to highlight them in blue. Once you’ve selected all relevant Templates, click Done.
The selected Templates will now appear in a list, once you’re happy, click Save to create the Template Processing Set.
Running Template Processing
