Locking the semester's data
Lock Assessment Items
Go to Manage Data > Assessment Items to lock all of the assessment items that were used to assess in semester 1. If your subjects are:
- In annual academic cycles, this would usually mean using the Tags field to identify the items belonging to semester 1, term 1, etc. Alternatively, the assessment items may have a 1 suffix.
- In semester or term-based academic cycles, select the items by the academic cycle. You may select all semester 1 items if all your subjects are semester based.
Lock academic cycles
Where you are using semester and/or term based academic cycles:
- Go to Management > School Settings and Tools
- Click Cycles in the left panel.
- Highlight the Semester 1 cycle, where it exists and there is no lock icon beside its name.
- Click the Edit icon.
- Check the Locked box and save.
Update academic cycles
Skip this step if you have already setup all your academic cycles for the year and there are no changes.
- If you have all annual subjects and want to continue in this way, nothing is required under this step.
OR
- If your subjects are in semester or term-based academic cycles, if you have not already done so, add the cycles to be used in semester 2 via Management > School Settings and Tools > Academic Cycles > Cycles, clicking the Add button to add a new one.
- You may need to select the correct academic cycle, if the semester 2 academic cycle did not exist:
- If the current date falls in the date range of semester 2, refresh the web page after you have added the cycle to open Accelerus in semester 2.
