How to use the Marks Log

The Marks Log is a comprehensive audit trail that lets administrators track the capturing, modification and deletion of learner marks. It provides full transparency about which staff member performed each action and when it occurred.

My School > System > Curriculum > Curriculum Setup > Marks Log

  1. Select the Year, Curriculum, Grade, Learning Programme (term), Subject, Task, and specific Assessment.

  2. Filter by Subject Group (specific class or All) and by Staff Member (specific user or All).

  3. Select the Mark Number tab if multiple tabs were used during capture.

  4. Set the From Date and To Date for the audit period.

  5. To search for a specific learner, set the Status (Current, Left, or Other) and type the learner’s name in the Learner Search field.

  6. Click Fetch Detail to display results showing the date, staff member, action (Insert, Update, or Remove), and previous/new mark values. Click Reset to clear all filters.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the full mark history not available before October 2023?

Granular logging was implemented on 2023/10/27. Before this date, data was stored as a single last-saved state to optimise database performance. For records before this date, only the final mark recorded is shown.

Can the Marks Log be edited or deleted?

No. The log cannot be edited or deleted by any user, ensuring the integrity of the audit trail for compliance and reporting.
