This guide explains how to display an extra mark, such as a June exam, prelim or informal test result, in its own column on the report card. It is for administrators who configure report cards. The extra mark is set up as a new formula type and then switched on in the report card template.
The extra column is driven by a new formula type, which the d6 team creates for you. Contact d6 support and tell us what you would like the column to be called, for example June Exam, Prelim or Informal Tests. We create the formula type with that name and let you know once it is ready.
Once the formula type is ready, set up how the mark should be calculated for each subject.

Create a formula per subject to calculate the mark as needed.
Use the Custom Formula option to define your rules.
Optional: add circle thresholds if you want low marks to be highlighted in red.
Switch the new mark on in the report card template so it prints for learners.
