Custom Reports are printed from the Custom Reports tab on the Reports page (for example, View All Reports > Custom Reports tab). Click a report in the list to select it; the Report Name, Owner and Shared Report details and the report’s columns display. You can also click Print on the Custom Reports page (School Info > Configurations > Custom Reports) to open this tab with that report already selected. The Edit Custom Reports button only displays for users with Update or Administer permission to Custom Reports.


Users with Administer permission to Custom Reports see every report. Other users see the reports they own, plus shared reports assigned to one of their security groups. The list only includes reports whose Schools setting matches the type of school you are logged in to.



The following Printing Options will display. The Print Custom Report button is available once a report is selected.



Printing Options are available to limit the report to specific sections or classes, and to adjust the way the report looks when generated.


By default, only Display Legends is selected. Select any other options you want before clicking Print Custom Report.


  • Include Inactive Students – the report will include inactive students while normally it doesn't
  • Include Only Students with Data – limits the output of the report to only students with information in at least 1 column
  • Show TST Grade – adds a line under each test score showing the grade the student was in when they took the test. This applies only when the report includes TST or CST (strands) test items.
  • Excel Format – exports to Excel format
  • Display Column Number instead of Column Name – column headings print as 1, 2, 3 and so on. Use with Display Legends so the legend at the bottom shows which item each number stands for.
  • Suppress Page Breaks – prints all groups (grade levels or sections) one after another instead of starting each group on a new page. The group heading prints above each group.
  • Display Horizontal Lines – displays a line between each student
  • Display Vertical Lines – displays a line between each item on the report
  • Alternate Column Shading - will alternate columns as white and light grey
  • Display Legends – prints a legend at the bottom of each page that lists each column’s name (or number) and description. If the report uses a Color Layout, the five level colors also print. Level descriptions do not print.


When run without the Filter By options, students are grouped by grade level as in the example below. At elementary schools, each grade heading also shows the student’s teacher.



The report above was run with the following print options:



When printing test data, the test month and year will print below the test scores:




At secondary schools, when you select sections with the Filter By options, each group on the report is headed with the teacher name, course title, section number and period. At elementary schools, Filter By offers only Teacher and Room. When a teacher is logged in, the Filter By list is hidden and only that teacher’s own sections are listed.




 

Note:  Once the Filter By options have been selected, a refresh of the page (F5) is necessary in order to un-select these categories.

 

Custom Reports can only be printed while logged in to a school. At the district level, no reports are listed.


Columns whose Custom Report Item has Enforce Security selected are left off the report for users without Read permission to that table or field. If no students qualify, the message No report data was found! displays. If you can’t see any of the report’s columns, the message There are no fields defined for this Custom Report. displays.
