Field

Description

Seq

Automatically generated identifying sequence number for the subject assessment area.

The sequence number is set to the numbers of the area that you are inserting before. The sequence number for the subsequent areas of assessment are updated automatically.

Result Group

Group of subject assessment areas.

Tip: Use to create groups if you have a large number of assessment areas to manage. You can work with the groups instead of each individual assessment area in Student Results Maintenance. See Student Results Maintenance - Single Student tab.

For example, results for a work requirement or parts of an overall project might be grouped together.

Result Type

Result values available for the subject assessment area.

Result types restrict the valid values that you can enter in this field. This is so that the data presented on reports is consistent.

Note: Values are maintained in the luReportResultType lookup table. See luReportResultType lookup table in the System maintenance manual.

Note: If you change the Result Type so that the values do not map properly to information you have already entered, you are prompted with an error message.

Heading

Subject heading.

Overall Assessment

Select if this is the student’s overall assessment for the report.

For example, the Overall Assessment field is:

  • selected for a student's overall grade for the term
  • cleared for an assignment that merely contributes to the overall grade for the term.

Overall Seq

Order that subject assessment areas appear on the reports, if the Overall Assessment field is selected.
