Most secondary schools or schools that use a third-party timetabling program will already have the required subjects for reporting setup in Compass, but many primary schools will need to create additional subjects, such as specialist subjects, that they wish to include on their reports. These subjects will appear under their own headings on the report PDFs.
For primary schools that use Compass’ Schedule Builder to create their schedules, you can create these additional subjects by following the steps outlined in this guide.
Step 1. Creating Subjects
Navigate to the Subjects & Classes module under the pencil icon. Click ‘+ Add New Subject’. Fill in the relevant details in the pop-out window. Then click ‘Save’.
Long Name - This is what will appear on your Semester Reports
Year Level - Select ‘Cross Year’ for composite classes
Roll Marking Mode - These classes won’t have rolls, set this to ‘No Roll/No Attendance’
Step 2. Generating Classes
Navigate to Schedule Builder tab in the Subjects and Classes module.
Click on the current year’s Schedule Builder template. You should see the new subjects showing along the top of the Classes tab.
Click on the cell aligning the required Form Group and subject, and assign the applicable teacher to create a class.
Click 'Update & Close'. Repeat for the remaining subjects and classes, and then click ‘Save & Generate’ on the template.

Terry Tip! Do not make any changes under the Timetable tab, or to Generalist subjects and classes, or any classes where rolls are marked.
