Enter Mark Type Marks {SSTUD1-7}

This option allows the entering of Mark Type marks. These marks will subsequently appear on class lists, and are used to calculate Full Period marks.

• Cancelled students are always included when Mark Type- and Assessment Mark records for students are created.


• If a student has cancelled his/her enrolment in a subject, s/he will still appear on the screen when Mark Type marks are entered, and the date of cancellation will also be displayed. The student will also appear on class lists after s/he has cancelled, displaying his cancellation date. (This is done because the lists from which these marks are entered would otherwise be subject to continual change, which could disrupt the input sequence). The value of validation ‘PM’ will determine if the student’s Mark Type mark can be entered or updated.


• Students who are enrolled for Attendance Only (“A”-exam type) will appear on class lists and on the input screen for Mark Type marks.


• Students who were exempted from a subject (under option {SREGAR-3}) will appear neither on class lists nor on the input screen for Mark Type marks.


• Students who are enrolled for examination purposes only (“E”- exam types) will neither appear on Class Lists nor on the input screen for Mark Type marks.

In PanelBox 1 the user must specify for which Calendar Year, Subject, Offering Type, Block, Group Type, Group Value and Mark Type s/he wishes to enter marks.

This option is seen as a data capturing option and not a general query screen. Therefore it is mandatory to enter a valid value in each of the fields.

The LOVs of the fields build progressively on each of the preceding fields e.g. the LOV on the subject will only show subjects for the year value entered in the previous field.

Note: The user cannot create new records in this option. Normally records for registered students are created using {SSTUD1-8} 'Gen Student Mark Type/Assessment records'. Students can, however, register after the first batch creation of the Mark Type. Therefore this program will determine if students were added to the total enrolments for this subject. It will then call the generate program to add students not yet in the Mark Type record table.

The fields to be entered are: 

In this PanelBox the user can only enter the mark and the Result Code.

If the Evaluation Type of the Mark Type is defined as ‘C = Competent' or 'P = Professional Judgement', only the Result Code can be entered. 

If the Evaluation Type of the Mark Type is defined as 'O = Objective' evaluation, the user can enter a mark and the program will look up the appropriate Result Code as defined in {SSTUD3-7b2}. The user can enter a different Result Code if needed. 

The user can reach this page by clicking  with the <NEXT BLOCK> action. Click on the TAB - Remaining Selection Criteria for Class List. 

The appropriate values from the previous block will be included in the selection criteria when printing the class list.

The user can enter values in the following fields to further refine the selection of students:
