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The ‘Restore Comment Bank’ program allows you to restore 'Comment Bank' data that had previously been archived (using TASS.web Student Admin 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.
