    This tutorial presumes that your local administrator has set up the system so that it contains a Section called "Marks". If a Section has not been set, please follow the instructions on how to set up Sections in the blue box.

    
    

    Warning
    To set up a Marksheet Section: 1. Settings > Manage Sections > Provide a section name e.g. "Marks" > Add Section

    
    

    

    
    

16. In Section, choose ‘Marks’ – the section is the heading it will appear under.
17. In Text, type the question to be answered. For example: “How well did the candidate perform?”
18. The Type selection shows the ways in which the question can be answered, the ones you are likely to use are:
    
    
    • Discrete: Select from a choice of values, e.g. 1, 2, 3 or good, ok, poor.
    • Free text: A box in which to type whatever you like.
      
      
19. For now, choose ‘Free Text’
20. In Weight, type 0
    
    Weight indicates how much a question is worth relatively for automatic marking. 0 means the result has no bearing. 1 Would be a normal marking, 2 would be worth double etc. Having mandatory unchecked means the examiner does not have to fill in the question.
    
    
21. Make sure Mandatory is not ticked.
22. Leave Feedback visible to candidate not ticked.
23. Click Save.
    
    However, what if we wanted a ‘Pass’, ‘Borderline’, ‘Fail’ option for the question?
    
    
24. At the top bar, click on the Settings tab, then Manage Schemas  (Missing image)
    
    The schema page allows you to make custom mark types for questions.
    
    
25. Type a name (i.e. Good/Average/Bad) into the ‘Add a new schema’ box and click Add. 
26. Find the name you typed in the above list and click Edit Answer. 
    
    
    
    
    Now you can see the list of answers you can select for this question.
    
    
27. In Title, type ‘Pass’ – This is the name that appears on the screen
28. In Value, type 2 – These are the points awarded to the candidate if the examiner chooses that answer.
29. Click Add. 
30. Repeat this process for ‘Borderline’ – 1 and ‘Fail’ – 0
    
    
    
    Now we can go back to our station.
    
    
31. Click the Items tab again
32. Find your earlier station and click View. 
33. Click on the Marksheet tab
34. Click on Edit next to the marking criteria you opted for previously. In Type, choose ‘Discrete’ instead of 'Free text'

36. In Weight, type 1.
37. Tick Mandatory and then click Save.
