Enter scores for a subject

Scores live under a class. Open Classes, pick the class, then the Scores tile, and choose the term, the subject and the component you are marking.

There is no Save button — marks save as you type. The bar along the bottom of the screen tells you what has and has not been stored, and it is worth learning to read.

Check the term before you type

The screen asks the school which term today falls in and opens on that term — the header under Enter scores names it once you have picked a subject, so it stays visible after the term buttons scroll away.

Between terms (the week after a term ends, when end-of-term marking often happens), or if the school has not set up its calendar, the screen opens on no term: the students are hidden and a note says why and asks you to pick the term the marks belong to. Nothing can be saved until you do. If you are offline, the app uses the term it last confirmed for your account at this school — but only while today still falls inside that term’s dates; signing out, or switching school, forgets it.

Saving a mark under the wrong term still replaces the mark already sitting there, and the bar will still say All scores saved ✓. The calendar makes the right term the default; it does not make a wrong tap impossible. Look at the term row when you land on the screen.

Set up while you still have a signal

The subject and component lists come from the school each time you open the screen. Pick them while you have a connection.

Once you are on the list of students, marks are stored on the phone and sent when the connection returns — so you can mark a full class in a room with no bars, provided you got that far first.

With no signal from the start you will not even see the Scores tile on the class, and opening the screen shows “You don’t teach any subjects in this class yet” — which is the same message you would get if you genuinely were not assigned to it.

An empty box is not a zero

This is the one thing to take from this page.

Leaving a box empty means no entry yet. It is not recorded as 0 and it does not overwrite anything, so a student who was absent, or whose script you have not marked, can be left blank and returned to later.

If you mean zero, type 0. That is a mark and it is recorded as one.

Deleting what you typed does not take a mark back

Clearing the box cancels nothing. A mark the app accepts is queued the moment you type it, and deleting the digits does not take it back out of the queue — it will still be sent.

Once it has saved, emptying the box removes it from your screen and leaves it in the school’s records. The bar will read All scores saved ✓ above an empty box.

To correct a mark, type the right number over it. There is no way to withdraw a mark from this screen.

Reading the bar at the bottom

What it says	What it means
Scores save automatically as you type.	Nothing entered yet.
Saving…	Sending now.
Save 4 scores — a button	Four marks are waiting. Tap to send now, or keep typing and they will go on their own. With no signal the button looks like it did nothing — the marks are safe and go when the connection returns.
All scores saved ✓	Nothing you have typed is unsaved.
2 scores need fixing — check the rows marked in red	Rejected on the phone. Never sent.
3 scores didn’t save — re-edit to retry	Sent, and the school’s system refused them.

The bar shows one thing at a time, and marks still waiting outrank failures. If some marks are queued, you will see Save N scores even when other rows have failed — so check the rows themselves, not only the bar.

All scores saved ✓ does not mean everyone has a mark. It means nothing you typed is unsaved. A student you skipped is still blank.

When a mark is refused as you type

Three things are rejected, with the reason under the box:

• Enter a number.
• Score cannot be negative.
• Max is 30. — above the component’s maximum, which is shown in the box’s own label as Score (max: 30).

A rejected mark is never queued, so the rest of your marks keep saving while you fix it. The cursor also stays on the rejected row rather than jumping to the next student — except on the last row, where the keyboard closes instead.

When the school’s system refuses a mark

Didn’t save is different from needs fixing: the mark left the phone and came back rejected. Those rows show a Failed badge, and one is enough to put Some scores failed to sync at the top of the screen.

Only the rows the school’s system refused turn red, each with its reason under the box — for example score must not exceed 30. The other marks sent with them are sent again and save as usual. Fix the refused mark and re-type it to send it again.

If the reason is student is not in this class, re-typing will not help — the student has moved to another class since you entered the mark. Ask the school office. If the reason is a single word like forbidden with nothing after it, the subject is usually not assigned to you. Ask whoever manages subjects at your school.

Working without a signal

Waiting marks show a Pending badge and the bar counts them. Once they are through, the badges clear.

A red box is either a mark the phone rejected — fix it, the bar counts these — or one the school’s system refused, which carries a Failed badge. If a red box also shows Pending, that badge belongs to an earlier mark already on its way; the red box still needs you.

Sign out only when the bar reads All scores saved ✓

Signing out clears everything this app has stored on the phone.

It does try to send what is waiting first — but it tries once, and it cannot send a mark the school’s system has already refused. Anything still showing Pending or Failed is destroyed, and nothing warns you.

A good connection does not make it safe on its own. A mark the system has already refused (Failed) is never retried, and a send that fails at that moment is not attempted again — either way it is wiped.

Before you sign out, look at the bar and the rows: All scores saved ✓, no Pending, no Failed.

If the screen is empty

No students — the class has nobody assigned yet, or the register has not reached your phone. Get a signal and open it again.

No components configured for this subject yet — either nobody has set up what is being marked for that subject, or the phone could not reach the school’s system. Check your signal and reopen the screen before asking anyone.

You don’t teach any subjects in this class yet — the same two possibilities. If your signal is fine, the subject has not been assigned to you.

One thing that will not reach the report card

If a report card for that term has already been signed off, a correction you make here will save normally and will not change the card. The bar will say All scores saved ✓ either way. If you are correcting a mark after results have been signed off, tell whoever compiles them.
