Exam Settings

Subjects, test types, grading and result branding in one place — each setting opens the same page as before, with the same permissions.

Mark Display Name

Open Core Settings → Exam → Exam Settings → Class Grading Policy. Only this section contains Mark Display Name; it no longer appears above other exam settings. Save the Oral and Written display names with the existing Save display names button. This remains a school-wide label setting, not a separate setting per class. Existing marks, calculations and award-list management permission are unchanged.

Choose Oral and Written display names

Open Core Settings → Exam → Exam Settings → Class Grading Policy → Mark Display Name. Enter the names your school uses, such as Assessment Test and Assessment 2, then choose Save display names. Each name can have up to 60 characters. Leave a name blank to restore Oral or Written. A login with award-list management permission can save names; other users can read them.

Reopen award-list creation, update, marks entry or print views and examination result cards to read the saved names. Date-sheet types also show the saved names, including the combined type. The Teacher app uses them on award-list creation and marks entry from version 7.5.11; the Parent app reads them when reopening a published date sheet. Existing marks, grades, totals and calculations stay the same. Saving names does not send messages.

Configuration → Exam → Exam Settings puts every setting your exams depend on in one list: subject groups, subjects, subjects in classes, test types, test type weightage, grading policy, class grading policy, student shifts, SMS templates and result card branding.

How it works

  • Click Open on a setting. Most open in a side panel on the same page; a few open in a new tab because they move between their own pages (the row says why).
  • Each setting is the same page as before, with the same permissions. If your login shows No access on a row, an admin can give it under Admin → Users & Privileges.
  • Set these once before your first exam: subjects and the classes that study them, the test types you hold, and the grading policy for each class.

Roman Urdu: Imtihan ki saari settings (subjects, tests, grading, result card) ab ek hi jagah hain. Har setting ke saamne Open dabayein; pehle imtihan se pehle yeh sab set kar lein.
