Note: This presumes that you have already set up Templates for your Student Assessment Reports. It's wise to check your list each time you're generating reports to ensure you have a Template for each Subject and Ensemble you need to report on.
See Set Up Assessment Report Templates for guidance.
Generate a Report Session
To create a new Report session (eg. Semester 2, 2024), navigate to Common Tasks > Assessment Reports > Generate new Reports session.
The script will import all current teaching staff and all current tuition enrolments.
It also gives the option to import all (or some) current ensemble enrolments. If you don't require a separate ensemble report for each student, select No to this option. If selecting Yes, on the next screen you will be given the option to edit the default search criteria (i.e. Status = 'Current'). Click Perform Find to execute the find and import the found set into Reports.
At the end of the script, you will be given the option to view the generated reports as a checklist.
Errors
On this view, you can check for 'ERROR' entries in the Status field. An 'ERROR' status indicates that particular report was unable to find a relevant template.
If a report is not required to be completed, select Delete selected record from the blue Useful Tools (but be careful) button.
If several records have an 'ERROR' status and these records require reports, it's best to UNDO the report session, check and set up the relevant templates and set up the session again.
To UNDO the report session, go to Common Tasks > Assessment Reports > UNDO setup of current session.
Tips & Tricks
Another way to navigate to Reports is from the Home Screen > Office Admin > Student Reports. Be sure to explore the options behind the buttons on this screen.
You can create additional Tuition reports after the report session has been set up by navigating to the Reports tab in Students and clicking the + button.
You can add Ensemble reports after the report session has been set up by doing a find in Home > Student Activity > Ensembles for the enrolments you wish to report on and clicking More > Send found set to Reports.
Teacher Vetting Rights
Did you know you can Set up Teacher Vetting Rights? Select this option under the Settings wheel to view a list of all your teachers. If you would like to grant some of the teachers permission to view and edit the reports of other teachers, tick the checkboxes of those teachers next to the 'vetting' teacher's name.
As soon as these blank reports are created, your music teachers have access to mark them.
Teachers needing guidance on this should see Mark Student Assessment Reports.
