Purpose

This report is used to track the movement of mark sheets

Run Details

This report is run in immediate mode only (as it creates a file on the client machine), when required by the institution's mark sheet handling processes.

Internet Browser Configuration

Refer to Internet_Browser_Configuration for instructions on how to configure the internet browser. The Internet Explorer web browser for the Mac OS operating system does not allow download to network locations.

The Result Entry Control Sheet block contains:

Parameters tab

• Assessment Period
• Owning Organisation Unit
• Unit Code
  Of particular note is the Unit Code parameter which is generally not used to specify a single unit, but rather, by using wild cards, is used to specify groups of units.
  For example, by specifying MM%, result sheets for all units with a code commencing 'MM' will be reported.
• Teaching Period
• Location
• Mode
• Sort By

  Create Spreadsheet button

Rules/Notes:

Note: The % symbol indicates that the parameter is not considered for processing.

Most parameters in this job are used to refine the data set produced in this report.

The LOVs for Owning Organisational Unit, Location and Attendance Mode display only active items. If closed, Owning Organisational Units, Locations or Modes are required. They can be included by using the wildcard value ( % ) rather than specifying an item from the LOV.

The report provides, in accordance with the defined parameters, a listing of all mark sheets produced. The listing makes provision to record against each mark sheet, dates associated with key activities in the mark sheet management process.

Clicking on the Create File button opens a file browser which allows the user to save an output file (assr1130.txt) into the selected location. This file is pipe ( | ) delimited and is used for loading into a word processing, spreadsheet or database application, by opening the file from within the application. This process requires some specialised knowledge of the application. If this causes a problem within your application, the delimiter could be changed by opening the file in MS Word and doing a Find/Replace of the pipe symbol with your preferred delimiter.
