Moving an assessment area to another sequence

You can change the sequence of a subject assessment area on the Student Results Maintenance window. This will in turn affect the order that the assessment areas appear on the student's report for the subject.

If you want to position an entry at a certain position (integer) you need to specify the integer plus 1. In the following example, we want to move the Written Exam area to position 3. We will need to specify 4 to move it to this position.

To change the position of an assessment area:

1. Open the Area sub-tab of Subject Assessment Maintenance. See Subject Assessment Maintenance - Area tab - Area sub-tab.

   The Area sub-tab of the Area tab of the Subject Assessment Maintenance window is displayed.

2. Search for the subject area. See Searching for subjects and assessment areas.
3. Select the area to move on the Subject Assessment Selector window.

   

4. Click on the Area sub-tab.

   The Get New Area Seq window is displayed.

   

5. Enter the value for the new position.

   In this example, we need to type 4 to insert it before the area at sequence 4.

6. Click .

   The following dialog window is displayed, if the sequence is already in use.

   

7. Click .

   The area is moved to its new position on the Subject Assessment Selector window. In this example, the Oral Exam area is moved to sequence 1 (immediately before the Written Exam at sequence 2).

   

   The order that subject assessment area appears on the student reports is changed.

   

   Note: Synergetic automatically updates any formulas that use this subject assessment area. See Subject Assessment Maintenance - Area tab - Formula sub-tab. In this example, moving the Written Exam area from A1 to A3 has changed all of the relevant entries on the Weighted Average calculation.
