Creating anchors from custom tasks

Sometimes you want to carry forward a scale from a previous custom task rather than a national task so you can measure progress on your own custom scale. In this case you can create your own anchor set.

First navigate to Populate, generate, download & print coded sheets.

Click on View.

Scroll down to the table of candidates, and note the two Export options towards the top right of the table. The left of these options allows you to select a candidate to be carried forward to a future task.

Use the select boxes to choose the the candidates you want to use as anchors, and then click on the left of the two buttons, the one that looks like a person to export them.

Once they have been set as anchors you can proceed as per the instructions for adding a national anchor set.
