Description

We use AMC in our NGO that select 500 students among 7000 applicants. During this selection process, we use in many times the same set of AMC projects. We print 100 copies of a given project and then we copy these 100 copies (70 times) to be used in various exam centers (it saves money as copies are cheaper than printing copies).
So we'd like a new button that purge all data related to :
- Data capture.
- Diagnosis
- Marking, Mean
- Optionnally, the scan folder (instead of doing it mannually).
- ... but it shouldn't delete the content of the export folder
The filename for CSV Export could take into account this new feature (e.g. by adding datetime into filename).


History

Updated by Alexis Bienvenüe almost 12 years ago

Perhaps you can consider some other workflows:

One project

With a recent version of AMC, you can run data analysis on filled photocopied subjects. So you can use only one project for all 7000 students. Data captures from different exam centers will be added in the project.
Drawbacks:
  • you must use a very recent version of AMC, otherwise AMC will be very slow at some operations with 7000 captures...
  • if you don't use a AMCcode to identify students' sheets, this will be quite ennoying to choose each student name from the very long global list of students.

Many projects

You can make as many projects as exam centers (say 70), with the same starting point, wich is the project directory just after printing the subjects. To clone this project, take a snapshot of the project directory, for example building a ZIP archive of all its contents. Then, you will be able to create new projects from this state choosing "archive" in the new project dialog, and selecting the archive you made.
