Bullet Points using Result Related Comments

In the example above 'Strengths' is the Objective Group and following are Results;

• Demonstrates the knowledge and usage of various texts.

• Able to describe and analyse various text types.

• Able to compose imaginatively and critically for different audiences.

Any Objective belonging to this Objective Group will display the result only in a dot point layout; the 'Objective Description' itself is not displayed.

You would most commonly use this layout where Result Related Comments have been set up using TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Result Based Comment Translations.

Dynamic Result Placement (+/-)

In the example above the student received a 'B-'.

Any Objective belonging to this Objective Group will display:

• Whole grades in the centre of the cell (e.g. A, B, C etc.)

• Plus grades left of centre in the cell (e.g. A+, B+, C+ etc.)

• Minus grades right of centre in the cell (e.g. A-, B-, C- etc.)

Shade Result Cell

In the example above the student received a 'B'.

Any Objective belonging to this Objective Group will shade the cell containing the student's result (as opposed to a character such as a dot or tick).

Sliding Result Continuum

Example

In the example above the student received a 'C'.

Any Objective belonging to this Objective Group will display the student's result as a dot on a solid line.

Report in Columns

The Report in Columns section allows you to define the result columns that have been set up against this Objective Group.

Reports with results displayed in columns can be produced in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Report Processing > Generate Student Reports.

Status	The 'Status' field is display-only and appears only when a row has been 'Modified', 'Flagged for Deletion', or 'Added'. An appropriate icon will be displayed in this column.
Column No.	The 'Column No.' field determines the order in which the columns print when generating an Academic Report through TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Report Processing > Generate Student Reports.
Column Text	The 'Column Text' field determines the Column Heading text that prints when generating an Academic Report through TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Report Processing > Generate Student Reports.
Results	The ‘Results’ column determines which results will be used in the column when generating an Academic Report through TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Report Processing > Generate Student Reports. To accurately map this field, you must enter result values in the same format as they are listed in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Infomation > Assessment Setup on the ‘Assessment Methods’ tab. For non-numeric results, use the same values found in the ‘Valid Results’ column. If you do not map this field correctly, the Generate Student Reports program will fail to print the tick marks, cell shading, and other details as expected. Reporting in columns also supports multiple results in a single column. To do this, enter multiple results for this column in the 'Results' field separated by a comma. Refer to the Examples below for more information.
Actions	Click the ‘Delete' icon to delete a ‘Report in Column’ row. The ‘Restore’ icon appears when a ‘Report in Column’ row has been added, uploaded or modified in the current session. ❗ When this icon is clicked, modified records will be restored to the ‘Last Save’ or unflagged for deletion.  Any validation alerts on the selected row will also be cleared. The ‘Last Save’ is the state the record was in when the screen was last saved.  If the record has not been saved in the current session, it will be rolled back to the state it was in when the screen was loaded.

In the example above, 'Advanced Learning' is the Objective Group whilst 'Content', 'Process' and 'Expression' are Objectives. 'Emerging', 'Developing', 'Consolidating' and 'Mastering' are the results.

If you do not want to use a tick (or other characters), use the 'Shade Result Cell' 'Layout Style' to shade the cell containing student results or use the 'Sliding Result Continuum' 'Layout Style' to display the student results as a dot on a solid line.

The setup required to achieve the example above would be:

To do this, enter multiple results for this column in the 'Results' field separated by a comma.
