Update Examination Groups {SEXAM5-1} 


This option allows the user to link students to different 'Examination Groups' for a subject. This usually becomes necessary due to the limited size of examination venues.



The user will be able to select values from a 'List of Values' e.g. the exam year, exam code, examination month, subject code and / or campus code and offering type. When 'Search' is selected, all students enrolled for the subject, offering type and campus combination will be listed in the 'Update Examination Groups' panel box.  Exempted students will be excluded.

Search Panel box:


Field Description
Exam Year The 'Exam Year' for which the student has been registered on {SREGAR-11}.
Exam Code The 'Exam Code' linked to the examination month on {SCODE2-3}.
Month The 'Exam Month' for which the student has been registered on {SREGAR-11}.
Subject The 'Subject Code' for which the student has been registered on {SREGAR-11}.
Campus The 'Campus Code' linked to the offering type on {GCS-5} and the student's registration on {SREGAR-11}.  The 'Campus' linked to the offering type will be validated against {SPCS-1}.
Offering Type The 'Offering Type' of the student's registration as on {SREGAR-11} and linked on {SACADO-11} against the year and subject and as defined on {GCS-5}.  The program will do a validation against {SCODE2-3} to validate if the exam code and exam month is linked to an 'Offering Type'.

Panel box 2:  Update Examination Groups

The fields in this panel box will be populated from the input parameters on the search panel box. The only field updateable is the 'Exam Group'.  

The system also indicates the examination type, e.g. for exam purposes only, this is where the 'enrolment type' is either 'E - Exam Only' or 'B - Both'.  Students linked to 'A - Attendance Only' enrolment type will not be available on this panel box.  Enrolment Types are defined on {SCODE2-2}.

All changes to exam groups are written away to a logfile and can be viewed in {SMNTL-2}.
