Purpose

To allow the ability to record overriding Start Times (offset times) for specific Examination Locations

This form is used to override times set for a specific Exam Location. Before Exam Sessions can be overridden, they need to be set up in Maintain Examination Sessions (ASSF4612), and in Maintain Venue Session Availability (ASSF4212) as this then assigns the times to a venue.

For further details on examination sessions refer to Managing Examination Details in Assessments for the Subsystem Specialist.
