Learning Outcomes (LOs) or Tasks represent the specific components that make up a subject’s assessment structure. For South African public schools these are pre-loaded based on CAPS requirements. This module allows administrators to create or modify components to suit specific school or updated DOE requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Why can’t I delete a task?

A task cannot be deleted if it is currently used in an active Learning Programme. You must first remove the task from the Learning Programme Setup before deleting it. Deleting a task with captured marks would result in corrupted academic records.

Is it safe to rename a CAPS preset task?

Editing preset tasks can cause a mismatch with Preset Promotion Formulas, which look for specific task names and codes. If these are changed, the formula may fail to calculate at year-end. Contact support before modifying preset components.
