Set up periods and subjects for grades
Create academic periods
- Open the Academic periods page (
/grades/periods). - Click Add a period.
- Fill in the academic year, name, type (Term, Semester or Year), start/end dates and the number of days before lock.
- Click Create period.
A period can then be closed from the same page; this action is irreversible.
Create and configure subjects
Subjects are managed from Timetable → Subjects, not from the Grades module. For each subject, you fill in:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Code | Short subject code |
| Name | Full name |
| Coefficient | Default coefficient (can be customised per class or level when configuring grades) |
| Colour | Display colour in the timetable |
| Required room type | Room type needed to schedule lessons (e.g.: lab) |
There is no separate “timetable grid” per level: subjects and their default coefficients are configured in a single place, Timetable → Subjects.
Assessment types
The available assessment types (Test, Homework, Continuous assessment, Exam, Project) are fixed: they are not configurable by the school.
