How to set up Subject Classification
Subject Classification groups subjects into specific roles or categories (e.g. Core Subjects, Electives, Creative Arts). These classifications help the system identify which subjects fulfil specific promotion, average and reporting criteria across different educational phases.

Tab 1 — How do I define Classification roles?
Before subjects can be classified, roles must be defined for each phase.
Select the appropriate Phase from the list, then click Add.
Enter a Subject Role Name in English and Afrikaans (e.g. Core Subjects).
Enter a unique Subject Role Code and an Ordering value for display sequence.
If a phase appears in the left (Unallocated) column, select it and use the Right Arrow to move it to the Allocated column.
Click Submit.
Tab 2 — How do I classify subjects?
Click the Classify Subjects tab and select the Grade to configure.
Choose one of the roles created in Tab 1 from the Classification dropdown.
Select subjects from the left column that belong to this classification and use the Right Arrow to move them to the Allocated column.
Click Save.
Frequently asked questions
Why is a classification role not appearing in the Classify Subjects tab?
The Phase associated with that grade must first be allocated in Tab 1. If the phase is still in the Unallocated column, the role will not be available as a classification option in Tab 2.
Can I assign subjects before defining roles?
No. The Classify Subjects dropdown in Tab 2 pulls data from Tab 1. Roles must be defined first before subjects can be assigned to them.
