About Assignment Groups

Enable assignment groups using the Enable/Disable toggle. Once enabled, select Add Assignment Group to create a new assignment group.

Centres can be assigned to these groups, for more information read ‘3. Fill out the Create Centre dialog’ in Creating a centre. In SecureMarker, markers and examiners can also be assigned to the assignment group, which ensures these markers can only mark scripts that have come from a matching centre.

Assignment groups can be retired by selecting Retire Assignment Group , and retired assignment groups restored by selecting Restore Assignment Group .

Select Save Changes to confirm your new, edited, or retired assignment group(s).
