Hints and tips

The following are useful features of Interchange:

  • You only need to set up a candidate once – they are then ready for use for multiple series.
  • Whilst creating entries for a unit or qualification, you can go back and add/remove candidates or change entry options without cancelling your entry.
  • Once you’ve selected a group of candidates, you can add additional entries to the same group without having to search for them again.
  • If you find you have duplicated a candidate, provided you have not yet made an entry for both candidates, it is possible to delete one of the candidates.
  • You can also create candidate groups, which can be tailored to include candidates of your choice. To do this, log in, hover over ‘Candidates’ in the left-hand menu and click on ‘Candidate groups’ and follow the on-screen prompts.
