When it comes to seating the candidates it would be better to have a select all option. Where the Inc. column is as at the moment you need to un ticking everything one by one.
The annoying thing with the current behaviour of this page is that every time you select or unselect a pupil, the system sends the update to be done server-side, one selection at a time! Not only is this a network overhead, but it takes forever as you have to wait for the server to perform a requery and update the page to reflect the last change you made, before you can make your next selection. It might only be a second or two each time for this to happen, but as others have said, when you have a couple hundred selections to make, this adds a huge amount of time to the job!
A checkbox on each row (with a flood-fill option at the top to select/deselect all) and a "Submit" button to commit all of the changes at once would make things so much faster.
When you are working with say 272 students and I need to seat the concessions first we have to untick approx. 200 students one by one. To have the options to select all/un select would make this less time consuming. This affects most of our exams.

Hi Steven,
When you are working with say 272 students and I need to seat the concessions first we have to untick approx. 200 students one by one. To have the options to select all/un select would make this less time consuming. This affects most of our exams.
Could you please provide a little more information about what you are asking for please.
