About Customise Columns options

IMPORTANT: You must have the Site Administrator role in order to view Site Settings. For more information, read About roles and permissions.

The Customise Columns section of Site Settings allows you to customise the layout and content of the Test Administration screens. You can decide what information is displayed and the order in which it is displayed. Any changes made in Customise Columns affect all users in your instance of Surpass.

EXAMPLE: You might want to remove the First Name and Last Name columns in the Mark screen to implement blind marking.

This article explains how to use the Customise Columns options in Site Settings to configure the appearance of the Test Administration screens.

Navigating to the Customise Columns screen

To view Site Settings, select your user name to open the User menu.

Select Site Settings in the User menu.

Select the Customise Columns tab to view the Customise Columns options.

About the Customise Columns screen

NOTE: Each section must have at least one column set to Show.

In Moderate, Results, Re-mark, and Audit, select or clear a column’s Printable checkbox to show or hide its information in the printed version of the data.

NOTE: Setting a column as Printable has no effect on the Results (HTML) screen.
