Purpose of Feature

The Curriculum Data Report is an essential administrative and academic planning tool used to:

• Academic Planning: Provide subject teachers with a clear overview of the required assessments and weightings for the term.

• Internal Auditing: Allow administrative staff to verify that the learning program has been set up correctly based on teacher requirements.

• Departmental Coordination: Assist Heads of Department (HODs) in monitoring curriculum delivery, especially when multiple teachers facilitate the same subject across different groups.

• Manual Record Keeping: Generate a physical grid for teachers to track assessment progress manually before digital capture.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Configure Report Layout

1. Page Layout: Select either Portrait or Landscape orientation. Landscape is recommended if multiple blank columns are required.

2. Blank Columns: Select the number of blank columns to include on the right-hand side of the report (e.g., to represent Term 1 through Term 4).

2. Define Data Criteria

1. Curriculum: Select the relevant curriculum (e.g., CAPS or Independent).

2. Grade: Choose the specific grade level for the report.

3. Subject Selection: * Select the required subjects in the column and tick which ever subject you would like to use.

3. Generate Report

1. Click the Preview button to generate the report in a new window or tab.

2. Review the data for accuracy before printing or exporting.

System Behaviour

• Grouping Logic: The report automatically groups data hierarchically: Subject > Component/Task > Assessment.

• Data Source: The report pulls directly from the Learning Program Setup (Steps 1–6). Any changes made in the setup module will be reflected in this report immediately upon refreshing.

• Dynamic Column Generation: If blank columns are selected, the system scales the existing data columns to ensure the report fits within the chosen page orientation.

Restrictions & Reasons

• Hierarchical Requirements: If a subject appears on the report but has no assessments listed, it indicates that Steps 3–6 of the Learning Program Setup have not been completed.

  • Reason: The report reflects the current state of the database; it cannot display assessments that have not been structurally linked to a subject.

• Orientation Limits: Choosing too many blank columns in Portrait mode may result in truncated text.

  • Reason: The system maintains a minimum width for assessment descriptions to ensure readability; Landscape orientation is required for comprehensive multi-column reports to maintain data integrity and visibility.
