  • calculates a domain score, an A-E rating and a solid achievement point (‘dot’) from the scores that teachers enter for the relevant dimensions
  • generates a solid achievement point (‘dot’) and a corresponding A-E rating to be shown on a summary page where multiple teachers have provided assessments in a domain
  • links domains to dimensions
  • links a student’s domains and dimensions to a teacher
  • allows teachers to change and update entries
  • is able to be used on the school’s network or laptops offline
