Answer Book Length is used when marking from a PDF. If you insert a new candidate, the Answer window will use this value to scroll to the start of the new answer.

You can predefine mark bands which candidates will be allocated to according to their overall mark. These will be printed out or downloaded with the Export Scores function, and are shown in the Statistics window. Any candidate that falls into a band which has the Feedback checkbox selected will have a feedback form printed when you choose Print Feedback Forms.

You can create new bands with the Add Band button, and delete them by selecting the band and pressing delete or choosing Delete from the Edit menu.

To add a point choose Add Point.  Points can be moved up or down in the table by pressing Command ↑ or Command ↓. You can make a point a subpoint of an existing point by pressing Command →.
