'Year' (school year) records are used to categorise subject records to allow the selection of a subgroups of students when sending correspondence, viewing or printing information to staff. This information is also drawn onto various reports throughout SEQTA.

Data for year records can be synced from the schools Administration system (MAZE, Synergetic etc), or created and managed directly in SEQTA through the 'Data management' page.

Before making changes in the Data management page please check to ensure the information is not synced or the changes made may be overwritten by the overnight sync (see below for steps).

Table 1. Year information and the sync. Depending on the sync setup some school's may be able to sync sub-school. Please raise a ticket for the Sync team through the SEQTA Service desk for further information.
