Preparation
Before the Summer Results Day check the A2C Migration Application is working to ensure EDI result files can be downloaded.
EDI result files sent by awarding organisations must be downloaded via the A2C Migration Application, and then imported into Arbor.
Results can also be manually added for non-EDI qualifications.
As A2C has no direct link to Arbor’s Exams Module, we won't be able to advise on the downloading of results files via A2C. Please see their website here for their guidance.
Adding Results into Arbor
To import your downloaded EDI results file go to Students > Examinations > Results > Results Import.
Then click on +Add to import a file, this will display a prompt to choose your file.
Click Browse to choose your file and then click Import. You'll see an overview of the import and you can and set an Embargo date here. You can see more details about setting embargos dates here.
Click on the filename to view further details, examine errors and see the raw results.
If you have errors in your results import, you may wish to import the file again.
Just click the Reverse results import button at the bottom on the page.
Once you confirm the deletion you'll be taken back to the Results Import page where you can reimport the corrected file.
To input your Non-EDI results go to Students > Examinations > Results > Non-EDI Manual Entry.
Click on the qualification you want to enter results for.
Here you can choose to add an Aspect to the subject in bulk or for each individual learning unit.
Click +Add and choose a relevant gradeset.
Once your Aspect, click the learning unit to be able to enter results for the candidates by clicking in the drop-down and choosing the correct option.

Some exams have a coursework element which makes up one (or more) units (pieces) of the course towards the student's qualification.
Where this unit makes up part of an exam it will appear here Students > Examinations > Coursework > Overview.
Click the exam to enter the candidate grades. Candidates should already be linked to the exam by this stage.
FAQs
Can I delete an EDI results import?
Yes! If you need to delete an import and reimport it go to Students > Examinations > Results > Results Import. Click the import then click the Reverse results import button at the bottom of the page.
Once you confirm the deletion you'll be taken back to the Results Import page where you can reimport the corrected file.
Can I import results from an EDI file if I did not make the entries in Arbor?
Yes! You will see a note on the Imported Results window but you do not need to take any further action
I’m getting an error of 'Results file not Imported. The file must be an EDI result file in format RXXXXXXX.X01’
Please check the file name - if you’ve downloaded it more than once you may have a (1) appended to the file name. Rename the file and try again.
Where is my results file?
If you’ve already downloaded your results from the A2C website you’ll need to locate the file - it is usually in a folder called 'Downloads' but your IT department may have changed your download destination folder, please contact them for help. If you’ve not yet downloaded your file please go to the A2C website and log in to get it.
Why do I need to set an Embargo date?
This should follow your school policy for viewing exam results before results day. Adding an embargo date will prevent people from viewing the results before they are officially released - you can see more details on this here.
