This applies to making changes to a framework that is already in place. You would use this process if you wanted to add in a new KLA to an existing report framework.  


IMPORTANT - only make changes to your current semester's framework. If you adjust a framework from a previous semester, all marks from that semester will be deleted. 


Please bear in mind that making changes to a framework will remove achievement marks if the change is being made to a KLA that is already set up in the current semester. In such an event, teachers will need to re-enter the marks for the affected KLA.
