Bromcom: Exams Embargo – Formula Visibility in Assessment Sheets

The Exams Embargo only applies to the Exams Module. However, if formulas are used in Assessment Sheets to reference embargoed results, they can become visible to staff with certain Assessment permissions.

To maintain the security of results and uphold the embargo, Bromcom have introduced a toggle setting to disable formulas from exposing embargoed exam results in Assessments.

Please note:

• This toggle is ON by default (formulas will not display embargoed exam results).
• Only users with the Administrator role can change this setting.
• Turning OFF this toggle means embargoed results may become visible to staff with Assessment permissions, and potentially appear on:
  • Assessment Sheets
  • The Student Profile
  • MCAS/Student Portal, if Assessment Types are shared there

How to Change the Setting (Administrator Permission Only):

1. Go to: Config > Assessment > Config for “Hide Exam Result Columns on Marksheets”
2. Untick the checkbox to turn the toggle OFF
