Paper Canva — Header tab
Show/hide the 13 student and exam identity fields printed in the paper header.
What the Header tab does
The Header tab is a single Show / Hide Fields group. Each button toggles one identity field in the printed paper header. An open eye (Eye, blue) means the field is shown; a struck-through eye (EyeOff, grey) means it is hidden. The actual values for these fields come from the paper's metadata and the Branding modal. The Subject and Class values are edited directly on the on-canvas header, and both dropdowns are now searchable — click the field, type to filter the list (handy when a board has many subjects), and pick a match.
Show / Hide Fields (13 toggles)
- Show or hide the exam name (e.g. "Mid-Term Exam") in the paper header.
- Show or hide the class/standard field in the paper header.
- Show or hide the subject name in the paper header.
- Student Name
- Show or hide the student name field (a blank line for the student to write their name) in the paper header.
- Show or hide the section field in the paper header.
- Show or hide the roll number field in the paper header.
- Show or hide the total question count in the paper header.
Show or hide the total marks in the paper header and per-question marks throughout the paper. Turning this off hides marks everywhere, regardless of the Design tab marks settings.
- Show or hide the duration/hours field in the paper header.
- Show or hide the exam date field in the paper header.
- Show or hide the set number (e.g. Set A, Set B) in the paper header — useful for multi-set exams.
- Show or hide the term name (e.g. Term 1, Mid-Term) in the paper header.
- Academic Year
- Show or hide the academic year (e.g. 2025-26) in the paper header.
The buttons are rendered by iterating the paper's displayOptions, so they always reflect the live on/off state. The blue/grey eye icon is the current state — click to flip it.
Common tasks
- Enable Exam Name, Class, Subject, Duration, Marks and Date.
- Enable Student Name, Roll No and Section so students can fill them in.
- Turn off any field you don't need (e.g. Set Number, Term Name) to keep the header compact.
