Opening past & historic CBAs for editing
How to open past or historic CBAs to allow a teacher or admin to edit/input results. This guide is intended for Admin. (Read time 2 minutes)
Last updated 04/06/2022
Once a teacher submits a CBA, it is locked and no longer editable to them. Mistakes can happen however, so in cases where an error has been made like an incorrect grade being entered, there is the option for the principal or secretary user to temporarily unlock the CBA for the teacher so they can go back in and update it.
Alternatively, the principal/secretary can unlock and make the edit and submit again on their behalf instead.
Unlocking and editing CBAs that have already been submitted
- An administrator or principal user must first go to Settings > State CBA > Select the year that the State CBA is in (Ex.2020/2021). If it is an historic exam, simply select the relevant year here.

- Click on the 3 dots next to the CBA that needs to be reopened and click View

- Click the three dots again on the teaching group and select reopen grading.

- A new page will pop up asking to confirm the CBA's reopening. Click, "Yes,Reopen."

Once the above is complete the Administrative personnel and teachers will then be able to go to their CBAs and re-enter the grades
