ACR - Restore Comment Bank
Overview
The ‘Restore Comment Bank’ program allows you to restore 'Comment Bank' data that had previously been archived (using TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Special Processes > Copy Data to Archive) to use in the current Reporting Period.
The restore will replace any existing comment information in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Reporting Setup on the 'Comments' and 'Comment Categories' tabs.
An example of this would be where your school alternates the comments that are available for teachers to use in webBook and Staff Kiosk Assessment between Semester 1 and Semester 2.

Fields that require further explanation | |
Result Year and Period | Select the 'Result Year and Period' to copy the comment information from. Only the periods that contain archived comment data will be displayed in this dropdown list. |
Comment Bank Categories | Nominate the categories of comments that will be restored into the current reporting period. Only categories from the Reporting Period selected above will be displayed in the dropdown list. Holding down the 'Shift' key while clicking on your options permits a range selection, holding down the 'Ctrl' key enables selection of discrete (individual) criterion. If you leave this field blank, all comment categories will be included. |
Select 'GO' to proceed with restoring the school's comment bank from the selected Reporting Year and Period.
Important!
This process will overwrite any existing comments in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Reporting Setup on the 'Comments' and 'Comment Categories' tabs. Prior to restoring comments, you should ensure that the current comment information has been archived (if it will be required again later).
