Can I add a subject manually without importing it?

Yes, although this is only recommended when adding 1 subject and a handful of grades as the normal import process will be a quicker option.

If this is a subject not previously used in any series, you must first 'add' the subject. If you have used this subject go straight to step 2

Step 1 -

Go to Admin > Edit Subjects.
In the subject panel on the left, click [+ Add new subject] at the bottom.
Choose the correct key stage.
A dialogue will appear asking you to name you subject and map it to a qualification. You can search by QAN here, as you would in the import mapping process. Once you have completed this step the subject will appear in the 'Other Series' section of your subjects lists as there are no grades assigned to it at the moment.
Your subject will now be available for you to add results to.

Step 2

Go to Admin > Edit results
In the top right, click [+Show Subject]. Choose your new subject.
It will appear in the grid as the last subject in the list. Add any grades for pupils that are required.
Next time you open this tool, the subjects will appear in alphabetical order.
