Targeting Elements using Subject Categories Video

This video explains how to customise Academic Reports in TASS.web by using style sheet selectors to target and format report elements based on subject categories, allowing groups of subjects, such as core and elective subjects, to display differently. It introduces the concept of targeting, demonstrates how subject categories are set up and mapped to subjects, and shows how selectors can be applied in the style sheet to change visual properties, such as background colour, for subject descriptions and teacher names. Using a practical example, the video walks through identifying the correct style sheet elements, applying a subject category selector, updating only the required properties, and regenerating an academic report to confirm the visual changes.
