Use the Entries tab in the External Exams Manager module to enter candidates for exams in iSAMS and create EDI files to send to exam boards.
- Always check that you are working in the correct exam cycle; the BaseData containing exam programme details is specific to each exam cycle.
- Candidates can only be entered for options matched in the BaseData.
The Entries tab has a number of options in the right hand menu for you to work with:
| Option Category | Option | Use to... |
|---|---|---|
| View Entries | View Programme Entries | View and enter candidates for exams by searching through the exam programmes available in your selected exam cycle. This option is useful for entering or removing candidates in bulk for a selected exam programme. |
| View Candidate Entries | Search for candidates and view the exams they have been entered for. This option is useful for adding, amending and removing exam entries for a specific candidate, form group or house. | |
| EDI Entry Files | Create Entry Files | Create an EDI file once all entries have been made and checked for your exam programmes. Once created EDI files can then be uploaded to the appropriate exam board. |
| Create Amendment Files | Amend any EDI files that have already been created. This may be due to a missed entry or a late change to candidate details. | |
| EDI History | View and download any of the EDI files that have been created for the selected exam cycle. | |
| Entry Reports | Candidate Entry Report | Run a report to check candidate entries across all exam programmes in a selected exam cycle. This is useful for distributing to candidates and parents for checking before the EDI file is created. |
| Programme Entry Report | Run a report to check candidate entries for a specific exam programme in a selected exam cycle. This is useful for distributing to staff for checking before the EDI file is created. | |
| Exam Fee Information | View Exam Fees | Review and check the charges for individual exam options and exam programmes. It is not recommended that you edit exam fees from this option. |
| Candidate Fees Report | Run a report on exam fees. This is useful for checking any charges. Produce the report in Excel if any amendments need to be made to fees, such as late entry fees. |
