If you recall, you have already seen the Outcomes option on the Site Administration tree. That is where we are going now.
Select the Site Administration tree from the Settings block.
Click on Grades to expand the options available there.
Click on Outcomes to enter into the Outcomes management page. Unless you have added some before, this page will just have the button Add a new outcome.
Click on Add a new outcome. The form has 5 parts. The standard outcome option is locked. All outcomes added through the site administration are standard outcomes. We should fill in the complete form. However, Description is not a required field.
Type Mahara Description into the Full name field.
Type Mahara Description into the Short name field.
For Scale, select knowledge proficiency from the drop-down list. If you have added more options, they will appear here. If you have forgotten to add a scale that you want to use, there is a link here which brings you to that page...
