Frequently Asked Questions

Data Entry

Q: I have entered all my class data including the interview data, and saved. When I go back into the data entry screen, all the interview data is missing.
A:
This issue occurs because the Form Teacher and the Specialist Teacher are entering their data concurrently. This is causing conflictions when saving the data. It is advisable for the form teacher to enter the interview data at a later date or after the specialist teachers have finished entering data for their classes.Back to top

Q: I have a relief teacher who has only been taking the class for the past few months while the form teacher is on leave. I would like the relief teachers name to appear on the report instead of the teacher who is on leave.
A:
If Schedule A has already been set up, the administrator will need to assign the relief teacher to the nominated class manually, by deleting the current teacher and adding the nominated teacher in the teacher pane. Check the form descripton to ensure the teacher is also allocated to the form or class.

If Schedule A has not been set up. The administrator will need to check the form description parameters to ensure that the teachers have been assigned to the correct form or class. When autopopulating the class group in schedule A the relief teachers name will appear as the class or form teacher.

General>Parameters>Form Description. Double click to open the form window. Check all form descriptions and the teacher/s assigned to each form are correct.Back to top
