ACR - Result Based Comments Tab
Overview
This program allows you to build or maintain result comments in a grid entry screen with fill down capabilities.
When generating an Academic Report, if the ‘Use Result Related Comments’ field is ticked and a ‘Result Based Comment’ exists it will print it in place of the actual raw result on the report. If a Result Based Comment does not exist, then the raw result will still be displayed.
If a ‘Result Based Comment’ exists it will be displayed:
Against students' Objectives in the Academic Report.
In the distribution summaries against each subject (where applicable) in the Academic Report.
The ‘Result Based Comments’ tab is an updated version of TASS.web program Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Result Based Comment Translations. Both programs currently work interchangeably.
The Result Based Comments landing page and the Result Based Comments Editable Grid will show Comments based on the filters selected.

The TASS.web Customisable Student Reports have the ability to print 'Comments' based on the result that each student achieves for Objectives within each subject.
An example could be:
Subject | Description | Year | Objective | Result | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0001 | English | 11 | Creative Writing | A | Consistently demonstrated a very high level of achievement Or Very High Achievement |
0001 | English | 11 | Creative Writing | B | Consistently demonstrated a high level of achievement Or High Achievement |
Valid Results must exist for each result based comment being created. If this search does not find the required subject/Objective/Year Group combinations, then create the validations in the 'Result Formats' screen by clicking 'Create Validations'.
