Do not use this program if your school is running a unitised timetable. If your school runs a unitised timetable, Subject Outlines must be entered in TASS.web program Student Admin > Student Records > Setup Information > Student Records Setup > 'Subjects' tab. Please contact TASS Support if you are unsure which mode the school is running.
Year Level based subject outlines are only used by program Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Report Processing > Generate Student Reports. DO NOT use year level based subject outlines if your school has a customised academic report as they will not print on your report.
This data can also be viewed and modified in Staff Kiosk Staff > Subject Outlines.

Saving Year Level Subject Outlines
It is strongly recommended that year level subject outlines entered through this program are archived at the end of each reporting period. By doing this you will then be able to retrieve and re-use them in future reporting periods.
Further information is available in the on-line help for programs Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Special Processes > Copy data to Archive and Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Special Processes > Restore Subject Outlines.
To do this:
Make sure that program Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Special Processes > Copy data to Archive is run once reporting is finalised.
In the subsequent reporting period when restoring the subject outlines use program Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Special Processes > Restore Subject Outlines.
Chose the period from which you want to restore.
