Fields that require further explanation

* Year

Enter the year of the Result Period.

Enter a number to identify the Result Period between 1-99.

The ‘Year’ and ‘Period’ combination must be unique, however each new year, you can reuse the same Result Period numbers.

The Period field cannot be changed after saving.

If you receive an alert message, refer to ‘Why am I having trouble creating a new result period?’ for more information.

This field also determines the display order of Reporting Periods in Staff Kiosk Assessment > Markbook and Staff Kiosk Assessment > Enter Results and Comments.

* Semester

This field name is customisable.

Enter the ‘Semester’ for the Result Period.

The title of the ‘Semester’ field is school-definable (therefore, it may not necessarily be 'Semester'). For example, your school may be term-based (as opposed to semester-based); accordingly, this screen may display a description of 'Term'. The setup for this is done in TASS.web Student Admin > Student Records > Setup Information > Student Records Setup.

Default Indicator

Place a 'C' against this result period to flag it as being the current default period.

This Result Period will then default on various Academic Reporting screens. However, you can use the drop-down list within these programs to select an alternative result period.

Only one Result Period may have the Default Indicator. If you have multiple report periods open at same time, this section can be left blank to avoid confusion.

This indicator is not related to determining the Reporting Periods that are accessible to teachers in Staff Kiosk Assessment. The 'IA Lock' flag determines which periods are open. It is possible to have multiple result periods open simultaneously in Staff Kiosk Assessment, such as Junior, Senior, etc.

* Report Type

A report type usually relates to a physical report format, i.e. An interim report will generally have a different look to a semester report and therefore require different setups. The Report Type allows a school to create multiple result formats, and then reuse them over and over again for future result periods.

Use report type 'I' for Interim reports, report type 'S' for Semester reports, 'M' for Music reports, 'B' for Boarder's Reports etc.

* IA Lock

The IA (Internet Access) Lock flag is the access control (or gate) for student reporting information. A typical academic reporting cycle moves through a number of phases. Therefore, as one phase of the academic reporting cycle is finished the 'IA Lock' flag is changed and the level of access for teachers and supervisors may also change.

Example

Phase 1 — Teachers are in the marking phase. The 'IA Lock' flag is set to 'Teacher Class Access'.
Phase 2 — Teachers are finished with the marking phase and the Department Heads are proofing the results and comments. The 'IA Lock' flag is set to 'Restricted Supervisor Access'.
Phase 3 — Department Heads have finished proofing and the Principal is adding his/her comments to the reports. The 'IA Lock' flag is set to 'Unrestricted Supervisor Access'.
Phase 4 — The Principal has finished and Teachers are given a chance to review student results in Staff Kiosk before parents and students are given web access. The 'IA Lock' flag is set to 'Staff Kiosk Only'.
Phase 5 — Final results and comments are made available to Parents through Parent Lounge and to Students through Student Café. The 'IA Lock' flag is set to 'Staff Kiosk, Student Cafe, Parent Lounge Only'.

The Reporting Access Levels 'Unrestricted Supervisor Access', 'Restricted Supervisor Access' and 'Teacher Class Access' are set up in TASS.web System Admin > Users > Reporting User Maintenance.

The ‘IA Lock' will only affect Activities with the 'Will you be assessing this Activity?' field set to 'Yes' and Objectives defined as the Assessment Criteria and in Staff Kiosk Assessment > Learning Objects (Maintain & Assign). The 'IA Lock' does not affect non-assessable Activities (Activities with the 'Will you be assessing this Activity?' field set to 'No’) and Activities (Standalone).

The effect of the 'IA Lock' flag in each program is summarised in the table below:

Allow Draft Academic Reports in Teacher Kiosk (Staff Kiosk)

This indicates if an Academic Report is visible as a 'Draft' on the Staff Kiosk Student Search > Student Profile when the IA Lock is set to Teacher Access (M), Teacher Class Access (Disable Progressive Assessment) (D), Restricted Supervisor Access (R) or Unrestricted Supervisor Access (U).

Tick the checkbox (Y) to allow the report to be viewed as a 'Draft' report. The report will display a message to indicate that it is in 'Draft' state, i.e. Teachers are still marking, and the Reporting Period is still open — this is not a report that is published to Parents and Students.

Untick the checkbox (N) (the default value) to prevent the report from being viewed as a 'Draft' report.

If the 'IA Lock' is set to either 'Staff Kiosk Only' or 'Staff Kiosk, Student Cafe, Parent Lounge Only', teachers will be able to see the published report only; no 'Draft' indicator will be visible for the report on the Student Profile in Staff Kiosk.

Archived

This is a read only field indicating if reporting data has been archived for the corresponding reporting period.

Archiving should be completed at the end of each reporting period using program Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Special Processes > Copy Data to Archive.

A warning icon will appear if you attempt to advance the 'IA Lock' flag beyond the open stages and have not yet archived.

Archiving a result period immediately after reporting has been completed takes a snapshot of reporting setups and student data. This archived data is required by the system for critical functions including: Progressive Assessment, Analytic Dashboards and Reports. It can also facilitate the regeneration of a student's academic report. Refer to the Copy Data to Archive. article for more information.

Archiving a Result Period snapshots the current 'Year Level' of Students.
Do not archive after Students have rolled over into their next Year Level, as this can affect your non-current student data. Contact TASS Software Support for further guidance.
If Result Formats change after the Result Period has been archived, the changes made won't appear in Staff Kiosk Assessment > Markbook and Enter Results & Comments. For the Result Format changes to appear in Markbook, you must re-archive the Result Period using TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Special Processes > Copy Data to Archive.
Archiving does not save Student Results. If Student Results change after the Result Period has been archived, do not archive the period again. For further information see ‘How to Amend Student Academic Results in a Previous Reporting Period’.

Max. Comment Size

A maximum comment size against a result period will (if used) override the global maximum comment size as defined in TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Reporting Setup.

Leave blank if the global comment size is acceptable.

If your ‘Comments’ display on Academic Reports, use TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Report Processing to generate an ‘Export To PDF’ and check that your ‘Comment' fits in the correct space. If not, adjust the ‘Max Comment Size’ or the Academic Reporting 'Stylesheet’ if required.

Click here for an Administrator Note.

The comment sizes/character limits used in Staff Kiosk Assessment are set by your school.

There are multiple possibilities for how the program determines this:

Comment Size Hierarchy
1	Reporting Setup	TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Reporting Setup on the ‘Reporting Parameters' tab, in the 'Maximum Student Comment Size' field.	Sometimes referred to as the ‘Global Comment Size’. This field displays the maximum number of characters allowed in Markbook for each student's subject comment.’ The system allows a 'Maximum Student Comment Size' entry of 4000 characters.
2	Assessment Setup	TASS.web Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the 'Result Periods’ tab, in the 'Max. Comment Size' field.	A maximum comment size unique to a specific Results Period. Your school may have used this if the length of the comment is different between an interim report and an end-of-semester report. Leave this field blank if you would like to use the comment size defined set up in Reporting Setup. If there is a 'Max Comment Size' number on this tab it will override size limits set in Reporting Setup.
3	Year Group specifications	Your web server tassportal\webBook > webBook.ini file.	A comment size that is unique to a Year Group. Located in the tassportal\webBook directory on your webserver. Open the file using Notepad. You will need to add one year level per line with the corresponding comment size, e.g. Year_12=300. Example webbook.ini file: You do not need to add a line for all year levels, just the ones that have a different comment size. Save the file and check the comment size for a student in a particular year level in Staff Kiosk Assessment > Markbook or Staff Kiosk Assessment > Enter Results and Comments. Comment sizes set up this way will override size limits set up using Assessment Setup and Reporting Setup. Contact your System Administrator for further information.
