Maintain Rating Scores {SCODE-6}

This option consists of four blocks of information with which applicants may be rated for selection purposes. Block 1 consists of the SRS Scores (Swedish Rating Scale), Block 2 consists of the WRS Scores (Weighted Rating Scale), Block 3 Grade / Level Descriptions and Block 4 Gender Additional Credit.

For a more in detail explanation of the new Application Development Framework (ADF) functionalities refer to the Operational Manual {main-om}.

Note: For Non-SA clients, only Version 1 should be linked to Matric Types in order to display on {SCODE-6}.

Fields in this option:

Tab 1: SRS Scores

The system is supplied with standard values in respect of the above, but the user may change these and add to them.
SRS Scores can be printed at {SCODER-6}.

The use of these scores is more fully discussed in “Application Sub-System” Manual.

Field	Type & Length	Description
Symbol	A2	The Symbol that is obtained in the matric exam, e.g. “A”, “FF”, etc. The <LIST> function will display all valid codes.
Grade	A1	Note that the system will not check if a Grade has been pre-defined. If a grade is not linked to an SRS code, no score will be calculated for all subjects with this grade.
SRS Score	N2	The Score to be given for this combination of grade and symbol.
Matric Type	A2	The Matric Type can be enetered here, when different Matric Types have different SRS scores. If no matric type is entered then the SRS score is valid for all matric types. If a matric type is entered then all matric types should be entered for the Symbol and Grade combination. The <LIST> function will display all valid codes.

Example(s):

Tab 2: WRS Scores

As discussed in “Application Sub-System Manual", the institution may weigh some subjects relative to others in calculating Weighted Rating Scale (WRS) scores for particular qualifications. In this block the user constructs tables of factors which are then linked to specific qualifications via option {SACAD-13}, TAB - Qualification Information.

WRS Scores can be printed at {SCODER-7}

Note: It is imperative that at least one record is created with a code “1”.

The following information is required:

Field	Type & Length	Description
WRS Table Number	N2	ITS creates a default code “1” which will automatically appear in the Academic Structure {SACADO-1}, Qualification Information. The user may add as many code tables as necessary, but may not change this default code. The <LIST> function will display all valid codes.
WRS Factor	N1	The normal WRS value of the matric subject, as defined in {SCODE-5}, may be weighted by any factor from 1 to 9.
Matric Subject	A5	The code of the Matric Subject defined in {SCODE-5}. The subject name is displayed. The <LIST> function will display all valid codes.
