Examination Reports

Screen Description

In the Examination Reports screen, the user can view and export a report created from examination data either for a selected subject area or for all subject areas at once.

The user can click on any examination to get to its Examination Detail screen (and from there for example to the Examination Assignment screen to make changes if needed).

There is another screen, Examination PDF Reports, which provides interface for sending PDF reports to any users of the application (and any other email addresses too), so the examination timetabling manager does not need to generate and send reports via emails "manually" in this Examination Reports screen.
