If districts have existing Custom Reports, an Import MDP Report option is available.  The Import MDP Report will display all existing reports from the MDP – Multi Data Profile tables. 


Note:  If districts have not been using Custom Reports in Aeries Client, this step can be skipped. 


To import existing custom reports, click the mouse on the Custom Report button.  Click on the Custom Reports tab and Import MDP Report option will display.



The following will display.   A school dropdown is available.   The enhanced Custom Reports are not school based so it is not necessary to import a report for each school.  When the MDP Custom report is selected, there are Schools and Share options that can be used to control who will be viewing the reports. 



It is recommended to import one report at a time so that the report settings and Custom Report Items can be modified if necessary.   The report should be printed and reviewed.
