Academic Term Yes Exactly as named in Settings > Academic Terms, for example Semester 1
Report Name Yes A name you will recognise when choosing transcript reports for that term and year
Subject Group Yes Exactly as named in Settings > [programme] > Subjects. Enter TOK as Core
Class Name Yes As it should appear on the transcript. If another term of the same year comes from reports, use the same class names, or the PDF shows extra lines

Local Grade Non-IB only Required for non-IB classes. Optional for DP and MYP
Subject Level DP only SL or HL
