How to create a best start assessment class
There are two ways to create a Best Start Assessment class
Create a new best start class not based on an existing group (e.g. a Kindergarten Literacy class)
Create a best start assessment class based on an existing group (e.g. move year K Literacy to year K Numeracy best start assessment class where the students in the group are the same) (Please see ‘QRG-How to Clone an Existing Best Start Assessment Class’ )
STEP 1: List the existing best start assessment class in your school
From ERN School Enrolment

Click Place Management
Go to the Student Group Offers tab
Select BST-Best Start Assessment in Activity Type
Select appropriate Calender year, Scholastic Year, Offering Status, Enrolment Type, Sub Enrolment Type (for SCAS), Activity Type or Staff.
Click Go. It will list student groups as per selected criteria.

NOTES ON OFFERING STATUS - DRAFT
All Student Group Offers (SGOs) are created by default with "Draft" status (unless specifically set to Available by the user on create).
It is not possible to add students to an SGO with "Draft" status.
It is possible to modify the Curriculum Offer of a Course Class when the status is set to Draft, but once the status is changed to "Available", it will no longer be possible to do so.
Once the status of a SGO is changed from "Draft" to "Available", it will no longer be possible to revert it back to "Draft".
NOTES ON OFFERING STATUS - CANCELLED
When the status of a SGO is changed to "Cancelled", the Current Membership status of all its students will be set to "No" (i.e. all the students are removed), this process cannot be reverted in any way, it is therefore extremely important to be careful when changing the status of the SGO to cancelled.
The only way to add students to an SGO after it has been set to cancelled is by either adding them back one by one or re- transferring them from another group.
When a SGO's offering status is set to "Cancelled", the only attribute that can be changed is the Offering Status, and that is back to "Available".
- Instead of trying to fix problems in an existing SGO one by one, it is recommended to "Clone" a SGO then "Cancel" the original.
STEP 2: Create a New Best Start Assessment Class
