Enter Secondary Mark Type Marks {SSTUD1-9}

This option may be used to ensure the correctness of marks entered in the previous option. In Block 1 the user must specify the same selection criteria as in {SSTUD1-7b1}.

The same rules and validations apply as in option {SSTUD1-7}.

Note: If the Mark Type is marked as ‘Competence = Y’, no marks can be entered. If the user tries to enter marks, the message ‘Subject is marked as a Competence Subject - No Marks required’ will be displayed.

Note: Please note that the secondary marks are stored in the same table as the primary marks and therefore the option {SSTUD1-24} – ‘Purge Secondary Marks’ has been discontinued since V13.

Fields in the option:

Block 2: Student Detail

The program will display the records for students that comply with these selection criteria.

In this instance, the user will have to correct the mark entered i.e. either correct the mark in this screen if it was incorrectly entered or correct the primary mark before the rest of the student’s secondary marks can be entered.
