Creating and Managing Cut-Off Templates

The steps for creating and updating cut-off templates through the Data management page are outlined below. Always test new cut-off templates to ensure they work as required.

Changes to a cut-off template will not automatically apply to existing programmes or assessments. Once the changes or new cut-off template have been created, the teacher needs to go into the programme and edit the 'Marks book' settings, or 'Assessment' settings and select the cut-off template.

Creating and Managing Cut-Off Templates

1. Go to the Administration Workspace > Data Management > Cut-Off Templates.
2. To create a new cut-off template, click 'Add Record' in the top-left corner. Alternatively, click on an existing cut-off template to edit.
3. Enter a Label for the cut-off template.
4. Enter the Cut-Offs in the required format (see below), then click 'Save'.

Deleting a Cut-Off Template

Deleting a cut-off template will not affect any programmes or assessments which have applied the cut-off template.

1. Go to the Administration Workspace > Data Management > Cut-Off Templates.
2. Select the cut-off and click Delete > Confirm.

Required Format (Syntax) for Cut-Offs

The following are examples showing the required syntax for cut-off templates. Schools can create their own cut-offs based on their school processes, policies and reporting requirements.

The school's SEQTA Client Engagement Specialist is available to assist with the creation of cut-off templates and can be contacted through the SEQTA Service Desk.
