Why am I having trouble creating a new result period?

Each 'Result Period' needs a unique numeric identifier. This is entered into the 'Period' field. 

There are several things to note regarding the 'Period' field, including:

• Each Result Period needs a unique numeric identifier, entered into the Period field.

• There can be multiple Result Periods assigned to the same Year and Term/Semester, hence the need to have a unique identifier.

• You can reuse the Period identifiers once a new year begins.

The 'Period' field does not mean Term / Semester. It is a unique identifier of the Result Period.
