Set up periods and subjects for grades

Create academic periods

  1. Open the Academic periods page (/grades/periods).
  2. Click Add a period.
  3. Fill in the academic year, name, type (Term, Semester or Year), start/end dates and the number of days before lock.
  4. 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 TimetableSubjects, not from the Grades module. For each subject, you fill in:

FieldDescription
CodeShort subject code
NameFull name
CoefficientDefault coefficient (can be customised per class or level when configuring grades)
ColourDisplay colour in the timetable
Required room typeRoom 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.
