ACR - Result Formats Tab
Overview
A 'Result Format' is a specific academic result configuration for a subject, which plays a crucial role in determining how each subject is presented in the academic result data entry modules and on your school's Customisable Academic Reports.
Result Formats include Objectives (or criteria, such as Effort), the Assessment Methods used to assess each Objective (for example, employing a grading scale from A to E), and the intended use of each Objective (such as for Progressive Activity Assessment, Final Results or Overall Subject Grades).
The Result Format for each Subject Code and Year Level consists of the following elements.
The 'Report Type' is used by the webBook, Staff Kiosk Assessment, and the TASS.web Academic Reporting modules to determine the appropriate Result Format for a specific Result Period (also known as a Reporting Period).
This allows your school to create and reuse various result formats for the same Subject, tailored for different types of academic reports.
Example
Report Type 'I' for 'Interim Reports'.
Report Type 'S' for 'Semester Reports'.
Using this scenario for English Year 11 there would be two Result Formats:
Interim Report | Semester Report | |
|---|---|---|
Report Type | I | S |
Subject Code | 0001 | 0001 |
Year Level | 11 | 11 |
The ‘Report Type' is created in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the 'Report Types’ tab.
The ‘Report Type’ is linked to the ‘Result Period’ in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the 'Results Periods' tab.
The ‘Objectives’ are the Assessment Criteria used for recording results for Assessment Activities, Final Results, and Overall Subject Grades.
Objectives are set up in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the ‘Objectives’ tab.
Objectives can be categorised under school-defined headings known as 'Objective Groups.'
The 'Sort Order' field can then be used to arrange the display order of Objectives within each Objective Group.
Example
The Objective Group called ‘Academic Learning’ is made up of the following ‘Objectives’ and ‘Sort Order’ numbers:
Objective: Writing
Objective: Content
Objective: Course material completed
Objective Groups are set up in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the ‘Objective Groups’ tab.
The ‘Analytics Flag’ for each Objective indicates whether the Objective is used in Academic Analytics and displayed in Staff Kiosk Student Search > Student Profile > Analytics.
The Analytics Flag is typically set to 'Y' (Yes) only for the 'Overall Subject Grade' objectives. The program assumes that these objectives will generally be included in analytics. Therefore, it generates a warning if an 'Overall Subject Grade' objective is not configured correctly.
The ‘Use in Analytics' indicator originates from TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the ‘Objectives’ tab. For more information, refer to 'How to Setup for Staff Kiosk Academic Analytics'.
'Assessment Methods' (or Assessment Codes) are the grading criteria used to evaluate results in relation to specific Objectives. Each Objective has a designated Assessment Code/Methods that outline the marking options available to teachers in the webBook and Staff Kiosk Assessment systems, e.g., A+ to E-.
Each Assessment Method consists of an Assessment Code, Type, Prompt, Description, and Validation Type.
Assessment Methods with the Validation Type set to ‘Individual’ may also include Analytics Mapping to convert non-numeric results into numeric values for Academic Analytics to appear in Staff Kiosk Student Search > Student Profile > Analytics.
Assessment Methods are set up in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the ‘Assessment Methods’ tab.
Click on each of the elements above to see more information.
The ‘Result Formats’ tab is used to:
Set up and maintain subject-based Final Assessment Result Formats (Final Results and Overall Subject Grades) that become available to Teachers in:
webBook Final Assessment > Enter Results
webBook Final Assessment > Grid Entry
Staff Kiosk Assessment > Markbook > Enter Results and Comments
Staff Kiosk Assessment > Markbook > Results Grid
Staff Kiosk Assessment > Enter Results and Comments > Enter Results and Comments
Staff Kiosk Assessment > Enter Results and Comments > Results Grid
Set up and maintain subject-based Progressive Assessment Result Formats (Activity Assessment Criteria Objectives, Activity Total Score Assessment Methods, Final Results and Overall Subject Grades) that become available to Teachers in:
webBook Progressive Assessment > Activity Assessment
Staff Kiosk Assessment > Learning Objects (Maintain & Assign)
Staff Kiosk Assessment > Activity Planner
Staff Kiosk Assessment > Markbook > Activity Assessment
Staff Kiosk Assessment > Enter Results and Comments > Activity Assessment
Set up the Objective display orders and grouping preferences on Academic Reports generated in:
TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Report Processing > Generate Student Reports
TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Report Processing > Generate Interim Reports

The ‘Results Format Summary’ screen appears when you select + Add Result Format', or the ‘View’ and ‘Edit’ icons in the Action column of the ‘Result Formats Grid’. This screen allows you to input the elements that define each Results Format.
Fields that require further explanation | |||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
*Report Type | This is a mandatory field. Select a ‘Report Type’ from the drop-down list. The ‘Report Type’ is used by the webBook, Staff Kiosk Assessment, and the TASS.web Academic Reporting modules to determine the appropriate Result Format for a specific Result Period (also known as a Reporting Period). This allows your school to create and reuse various result formats for the same Subject, tailored for different types of academic reports. Example Report Type 'I' for 'Interim reports'. Report Type 'S' for 'Semester reports'. Using this scenario for English Year 11 there would be two Result Formats:
The ‘Report Type' is created in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the 'Report Types’ tab. The ‘Report Type’ is linked to the ‘Result Period’ in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the 'Results Periods' tab. | ||||||||||||
*Subject Code | This is a mandatory field. Select a valid TASS Subject Code from the drop-down list. For Non-Unitised/Horizontal Timetables, the result format is determined by the combination of ‘Report Type', 'Subject Code', and 'Year Level’. For Unitised/Vertical Timetables, the result format is determined by the combination of ‘Report Type' and 'Subject Code'. For more information, refer to ‘What is the difference between a Unitised and Non-Unitised Timetable?’ | ||||||||||||
*Year Level | This is a mandatory field for schools running a Non-Unitised/Horizontal Timetable. Select a valid TASS Year Level (Year Group) from the drop-down list (except if your school is set up to run a Unitised/Vertical Timetable). Year Groups (Year Levels) are not used if the 'Unitised/Vertical Timetable' flag is set to 'Yes' in TASS.web Student Admin > Timetable > Setup Information > Timetable Setup. | ||||||||||||
Activity Assessment Code | This is an optional field used for webBook Progressive Assessment and Staff Kiosk Activity Assessment configurations. The Assessment Method selected here will be used to validate Activity Total Scores for Assessment Activities with non-numeric results, such as A - E, VHA, HA, etc. The Analytics Mappings for the Assessment Method will also be used to generate Analytics for the Activity Total Scores. While the webBook Progressive Assessment and Staff Kiosk Activity Assessment can compute Activity Total Scores when they are numeric, a specific assessment method must be assigned in this field for non-numeric assessment methods. Assessment Methods are set up in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the ‘Assessment Methods’ tab. | ||||||||||||
Activity Assessment Range | This is a display-only field. When the 'Activity Assessment Code' is selected in the field above, this field will automatically populate with the Assessment Method Range. | ||||||||||||
Allow Activities from the previous year to be included in webBook Progressive Assessment and Markbook Activity Assessment | This is an optional field. Select this checkbox to allow Teachers to include Activities from the previous year in this year’s markbook for this Subject. Certain subjects may require Assessment Activity results from two years to be available for Overall Subject Grade calculation in webBook Progressive Assessment > Activity Assessment and Staff Kiosk Assessment > Markbook > Activity Assessment. If the Subject contains multiple classes, this option will only load subject-based assigned activities. If your school is running a Non-Unitised/Horizontal Timetable, select this checkbox to allow teachers to use Activity results from the previous year, whilst operating in the current year's Reporting Period. If your school is running a Unitised/Vertical Timetable, you will need to select the correct Subject Code for this Subject in the previous year.
