Editing Grades
This article will show you how to edit the grades you have already imported into Connect Data, including examination results, monitoring grades and personalised targets. You can edit grades individually, or make bulk edits - this is also how you can add additional grades data.
Editing Grades Individually:
You can make manual edits to individual existing grades in Connect by going to the Grades section.
In here you can select which Gradepoint you need to make changes to by choosing the Gradepoint from the drop down menu above the list of students and grades in this screen - in the screenshot below I have chosen to edit my Y13 Mocks.
To edit a grade, or add more grades to a student, simply click on the pencil tool on the far right, next to the student you need to make the change for.
After clicking the pencil tool, you then need to click the pencil tool next to whatever grade you need to change in this window or click on the '+ Add new subject' option to add a new subject and the grade to the student record:
Once you have changed the grade or added new subjects and grades, you should see the save button in the bottom right - click this to save your changes:
Once you have made the changes, your Gradepoint will turn Orange/Yellow and the Check & Publish button will be available - you will need to click on the Check & Publish button and republish your Gradepoints to see the changes you have made in your analysis sections:
Once your Gradepoints are green and live for users, this means that the changes have been published and pulled through into the analysis sections:
Editing Grades in Bulk
You can also make edits to grades and add grades in bulk to existing Gradepoints. To do this, you need to go to the Gradepoints section:
In Gradepoints, click the Add More Grades button under Gradepoint you want to change or add grades in bulk to:
After clicking the Add More Grades button, this window will appear - in this window you need to click the drop down menu that says Select a Year Group and then choose the year group that already contains grades:
The window should then look like this - you will have 2 options to choose from; Update and Merge and Overwrite and Replace.
Choose Update and Merge if you are adding new subjects and/or grades to the Gradepoint and you want to preserve the existing data. You will need to prepare either a Marksheet or Row per Entry Excel file with the Student IDs, Subjects and Grades for only the missing entries.
Choose Overwrite and Replace if you are uploading new grades to existing subject entries - this will overwrite the existing data with the data you are uploading. You will need to prepare either a Marksheet or Row per Entry Excel file with the Student IDs, Subjects and Grades for all entries into this Gradepoint, regardless of whether they have changed or not.
Once you have chosen which method you need to use, simply go through the remaining import steps to finish the import. If you need guidance on the Montoring Data Import wizard, please see this guide: Creating a Monitoring Point
You will then need to republish your Gradepoints after this import is finished:
