Syllabus FAQs

Why can't I enter values for the syllabus in the reporting section of the Marks Book?

Teachers will be unable to save results entered that are not an accepted value for the syllabus item. Where this is the case, the teacher should be notified of what the accepted values are, or if they are set incorrectly they will need to be changed by one of the school's SEQTA Administrators with the steps outlined in the following article:

• Changing allowed values for a syllabus item in a Reporting syllabus set

What determines the order of syllabus items in the reporting section of the Marks Book?

The order of the criteria is determined by the 'syllabus id' which is the unique id each syllabus item is assigned when the 'syllabus item' is first added to the database. Next, any columns from the coursetype will display (i.e. Exam).

The steps to set the syllabus to appear in a different order are as follows. This is not recommended as it will result in the loss of results for syllabus already in the Marks book. It is also only possible with custom syllabus.

1. Delete the syllabus item(s) from the database. This can be done through the Administration Workspace > Data Management > Syllabus Items.
2. Create the syllabus items again in the order you would like them to appear in the marks book. This can be done through the Administration Workspace > Data Management > Syllabus Items.
   

   Important note: This will cause any results that have already been entered in the marks book for those syllabus items to be lost.

3. Link the newly added syllabus items to Reporting syllabus sets.
