Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the 'Result Periods' tab.

Set up the reporting period that teachers will use when creating and assigning Activities.

The 'IA Lock' for this reporting period must be set to 'Teacher Class Access'.

Very Very Important!

If you are setting up an 'Interim' reporting period (e.g. Term 1 'Tick and Flick' reporting period) it is strongly recommended that the IA Lock is set to 'Teacher Class Access (Disable Progressive Assessment)'. 

This will stop teachers from accidentally assigning Activities to students in this period.

You would normally have two reporting periods open during Term 1, for example:

  • Term 1 2013 Interim Report with IA Lock =  'Teacher Class Access (Disable Progressive Assessment)', and

  • Semester 1 2013 Report with IA Lock =  β€˜Teacher Class Access’.

Using this example, teachers will only be able to assign Activities against the Semester reporting period.
