ACR - Report Types Tab

Overview

The ‘Report Types’ tab allows you to create and maintain Report Types.

A Report Type allows your school to create and reuse different result formats for the same subject for different types of academic reports.

Examples:

Report Type 'I' for 'Interim reports'.
Report Type 'S' for 'Semester reports'.

The ‘Report Type' is then added against an academic result period using TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the 'Result Periods’ tab.

This is how webBook, Staff Kiosk Assessment and the Academic Reporting module determine the correct Result Format to use for a given result period.

Click here for an Administrator Note.

User Security Permissions

Access to this tab is regulated by the ‘Assessment Setup' and '--- Report Types’ permission points. These user security permissions can be enabled in TASS.web Student Admin > Users > User Maintenance or Security Role Permissions.
