   Example

   This is useful when you use both Borderline regression and Borderline group standard setting methods for your exams.

   In order to create Items with different Borderline marker criteria (as marking schema will differ) you could create Marking method dimension in the Master blueprint with subcategories Borderline group and Borderline regression. Then, when defining your Global mark sheet criteria, you would create one Borderline marker criteria for each Marking method and use Apply if where you'd select appropriate blueprint category.
