ACR - Generate Student Reports

Generate Student Reports Overview

The Customisable Academic Report produced by this program is based on Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) technology. This gives your school the ability to make changes to the general layout, content, colours and fonts used on the Customisable Academic Report by editing the style sheet.

The items that are included in a report are controlled by various runtime options (settings), configured in TASS.web. The CSS file is used to style those items.

Directly below you can find an example of the Customisable Academic Report (on the left) and the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) (on the right) that was used to produce it.

Master Sample — An example of a Customisable Academic Report and its Cascading Style Sheet (CSS).

To gain an understanding of the relationship between the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) and the Customisable Academic Report that it produces, we recommend completing the following steps:

Click on the Customisable Academic Report example above. It will open as a PDF document. Print it.
Note the red numbers. As an example on the first page E04, this is an element.
Click on the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) example above. It will open as a PDF document.
To find element E04 in the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS), hold down the 'Ctrl' and 'F' keys on your keyboard at the same time. This will open a 'Find' window that will allow you to search for element numbers in the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet).
Key in E04. It will take you to the location in the CSS for this element. It will look like this:

Example CSS

/* Used to set the school name.*/
/* In the online help sample this is style sheet element E04 */
.title .companyTitle
{
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 35pt;
color: RGB(31,50,98);
font-weight : normal;
width: 550pt;
height: 200pt;
left: 25pt;
bottom: 720pt;
text-align: center;
}
To add a company title (or school name) on the 'First Page' of your report, go to the 'First Page' tab (in Student Admin > Academic Reports > Report Processing > Generate Student Reports (i.e. this program)) and locate the field (a checkbox) named 'Include School Name' — this option lets you decided whether to include the school name on the first page (or cover page) of the report.

You will also find these CSS element numbers in the standard style sheet that is shipped with TASS.web. Refer to section 'Modifying a Style Sheet' below.

Important!

This program enables you to produce a Student Academic Report that meets the Commonwealth comparative reporting requirements.

Modifying a Style Sheet

The academic report produced by this program is based on CSS technology. This gives your school the ability to make changes to the general layout, content, colours and fonts used on the report by editing the style sheet.

We recommend using Microsoft Notepad® as a convenient, no-cost tool to use as a style sheet editor.

The procedure for modifying a style sheet is:

Locate the standard style sheet that is shipped with TASS.web. The file name is genericStudent_NN.css (where 'NN' = the current TASS.web version) and it is located in the tassweb\reportconfig\stylesheets directory.
Take a copy of this file to a separate working directory. Leave a copy of the original file in the original directory in case you need to revert back.
Modify the copy. We recommend that you make changes incrementally and always check your changes by generating a report using program Student Admin > Academic Reports > Report Processing > Generate Student Reports (i.e. This program).
You will need to remove the old style sheet (on the 'General' tab) and attach the modified style sheet after each change in order for the modifications to affect the generated academic report. The process for doing this is described below in the 'General' tab section.
You need to ensure that your modified style sheet is regularly backed up.

Additions to the Style Sheet

Future TASS.web software release may include enhancements to style sheet functionality. After taking a TASS.web Upgrade, it is important that you check the release notes to see if the TASS.web release does contain new style sheet enhancements.

The procedure for you to follow after taking a TASS.web Upgrade is:

Click on the 'What's New' button to see if there are any Academic Reporting enhancements that affect the style sheet. If there are any changes to the style sheet in the new release, continue with Step 2 through 5.
Take a copy of your working style sheet and save it in a safe location.
Go to the tassweb\reportconfig\stylesheets directory and look for a file called genericStudentAdditionsNN.css (where NN equals the version of the TASS.web release you have just installed).
Open the file and carefully follow the instructions contained in the file.
Check that the changes are OK by generating a report using program Student Admin > Academic Reports > Report Processing > Generate Student Reports (i.e. This program). If you get a TASS.web error, revert back to the style sheet that you saved in point 2 and start again.
Save a comment at the top of your style sheet describing the TASS.web version number, e.g. Based on TASS.web v42.

Click the 'Stylesheets' button to display a list of downloadable style sheets.

The list of stylesheets contains the default stylesheets provided by TASS. These are not the school's customised stylesheets.

The report has extensive options that can be activated via run-time settings. These settings can be saved as a report 'Configuration' profile.

Click here for more information on Saving Configurations.

To use a previously saved report configuration, select it from the 'Use a Previously Saved Configuration' picklist and click 'Next'.

The 'Use a previously saved configuration' picklist will only be available if a saved configuration exists.

To create a new configuration, click the 'Next' button without selecting an option from the 'Use a Previously Saved Configuration' picklist.

Enter your runtime options for the program.

To save the runtime options that you have entered as a re-usable report configuration, enter a meaningful description into the 'Save this Configuration as' field on the 'Process' or 'Print' tab.

You can delete a report configuration by selecting it from the picklist, clicking the 'Next' button, and then clicking the 'Delete' option.

You can modify an existing configuration by selecting it, making the necessary changes to the run-time options, then clicking 'GO' on the 'Process' or 'Print' tab. You need to ensure the 'Save this Configuration as' field is populated with the report configuration name. This field is populated automatically when an existing configuration is selected.

An example of the report configurations at a school may be:

Primary Report.
Middle School Report.
Senior School Report.

Important!

There is no need to include the year or report period descriptions in the 'Configuration' name. This is a bad practice to introduce as you will end up with many saved configurations which are identical.

A report 'Configuration' will only save or update if a report is successfully run, i.e. If the report fails to generate due to invalid selection criteria in the 'General' tab then the report 'Configuration' will not be saved.

General Tab

General Selection Criteria

Use the 'General' tab to select the reporting period and students that the report will be generated for. The 'Reporting Year and Period' must be nominated and either a 'Year Group' or 'Student Code' must also be entered.

The remaining fields in the 'General Selection Criteria' section on this tab are optional and can be used to create smaller batches of the report or to facilitate report distribution.

The 'Historical Reprint using Archived Data' checkbox can be used to print reports from previous reporting periods. When this option is ticked, the 'Reporting Year and Period' drop-down list will change to an 'Archived Year and Period' drop-down list. The drop-down list will display reporting periods where academic reporting data has been archived using program Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Special Processes > Copy Data to Archive.

Selection Options

The 'Include Non-Current Students' checkbox can be used to print reports for students who have left the school.

When ticked, a report will be generated for any students who have results in the 'Reporting Year and Period' selected above.

You would tick this option where all Year 12 students have had a 'Date of Leaving' entered using program Student Admin > Student Records > Year End Processing > Enter DOL for Seniors and the 'Date of Leaving' is less than the current day.

Layout Selection

Your school can have different style sheets for each report configuration. This gives you the flexibility of having different layouts, colours etc., on the academic reports for each configuration.

An example of the report configurations at a school may be:

Primary Report.
Middle School Report.
Senior School Report.

This section of the screen allows you to nominate the style sheet to use against this report configuration.

Current Stylesheet

The style sheet currently being used by this report configuration will be displayed in this field.

Click the 'Paperclip' icon to download the current style sheet.

Important!

Take a backup copy of this file to a separate working directory in case you need to revert back.

Stylesheet

If this is a new report configuration, use the 'Browse' button to locate the style sheet that you intend to use.

If changes are made in the working style sheet then the procedure to update the report configuration is:

Use the 'Remove' checkbox to erase the old version of the style sheet in TASS.doc.
Use the 'Browse' button to open the new style sheet.
Run the report by clicking the 'GO' button on the 'Print' tab.

Important!

Refer to the stepped instructions above in the section 'Modifying a Style Sheet'.

This program uses 'TASS.doc', which means that once you have attached the style sheet, a copy of it is uploaded and saved on the web server.

It is still important to keep your working style sheet(s) in a network directory that is regularly backed up. You will need to get back to the working style sheet to make any future changes.

An example of how this could be used: Create an Objective Group called 'Elements that can be improved' using program Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the Objective Groups Tab. Create the following Objectives: 'Primary Research'. 'Secondary Research'. 'Argument Development'. 'Logical Expression' …etc. Use program Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Reporting Setup to set up an Assessment Code of 'Include on Report (= Y) '. Make sure all of the Objectives are assigned to the 'Objective Group' above using program Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the Objectives Tab. Teachers then use webBook to indicate the Objectives that will appear on each student's report by entering an 'Include on Report (= Y)' result. Tick this checkbox ('Hide Objectives with No results') and nominate the 'Objective Group' that this is relevant for using the 'Objective Groups' field (below). Only the Objectives that the teachers have entered a result for ('Include on Report (= Y)'), will display on reports.
Objective Groups	This field allows you to specify specific Objective Groups that will be included in the 'Hide Objectives with No Result' option above. If you do not specify an Objective Group here, the 'Hide Objectives with No Results' logic will be applied to all Objectives and Objective Groups. Holding down the 'Shift' key while clicking on your options permits a range selection, holding down the 'Ctrl' key enables selection of discrete (individual) criterion.

In the distribution summaries against each subject (where applicable). Result Related Comments can be created in either: TASS.web program Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Result Based Comment Translations. TASS.web program *Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup > 'Result Based Comments' tab.* The ‘Result Based Comments’ tab is an updated version of 'Result Based Comment Translations'. Both programs currently work interchangeably. Click here to view the associated CSS element. You can change the formatting of this in the style sheet using the following element: .objective .studentResult .comments
Print Objective Groups in Columns	This option enables the printing of Objective Groups, Objectives and Results in columns (side by side). Choose the 'Objective Groups' that you would like to display in columns from the drop-down list. Holding down the 'Shift' key while clicking on your options permits a range selection, holding down the 'Ctrl' key enables selection of discrete (individual) criterion. Objective Groups must have a sort order defined and not use the 'Report in Columns' options in order for this to work. Click here for further information on 'Objective Groups'. Objective Groups with an even sort order number will print in the right hand column. Objective Groups with an odd sort order number will print in the left hand column. Click here to view the associated CSS element. You can change the formatting of this layout in the style sheet using style sheet elements prefixed with: .objective .groupColumns.

Distribution Summaries

Distribution summaries provide a visual comparison of a student's performance in a subject to their cohort peers.

Calculate Distribution Summary Using Objective Code	To print a distribution summary against each subject displayed on reports, nominate the Objective your school has set up for students' final subject results, e.g. Overall Grade [OG] or Level of Achievement [LOA]). The distribution summary will display result related comments where applicable and where the 'Use Result Related Comments' option has been ticked above. If an Objective/criterion is not selected, then a distribution summary will not display. In the case of a 15 point scale (e.g. A+ to E -), the system will strip off the “+” and “-“ to convert the distribution into a 5 point scale (A – E). Important! The 'Comparative Reporting' flag on each Student's record ('General' Tab) will determine if a student receives the distribution summary on their report and also whether their results are included in the distributions. Options are: ('Include'=Include in data summary and Display, 'Don't Include'=Include in data summary and do not display, and 'Exclude'=Exclude from data summary and do not display). The 'Distribution Calculation Method' flag on the Subject's record ('Academic Reporting/VET' section) will determine whether the distribution summary or Graph will be calculated based on all students within the subject (Student mode) regardless of year groups, or to calculate based on students within the subject and the same year group as the student being reported (Subject and Year mode). The style sheet element 'resultDistribution' can be customised so that the distribution summary prints with a unique format (e.g. Font size, position on-page, with or without a heading). Refer to the stepped instruction above in section 'Modifying a Style Sheet'. Click here to view the associated CSS element. You can change the title and formatting of this in the style sheet using the following elements: .resultDistribution .resultDistribution .title
Exclude Objectives with Less than	Select the minimum number of students required to have a result for a subject, in order for the distribution summary to print on the academic report. Use this option to suppress the distribution summary from appearing on small class sizes.
Consolidate + and – values	Tick this option to consolidate an A+ to E- scale to an A to E scale when distribution summaries are printed on academic reports.

Charting

Generate Subject Charts using Objective	This field allows you to display distribution summaries as a graph. You must choose an objective that has been assigned an individually validated assessment method for charts and distribution tables to generate. Range type assessment methods do not work for charting and distribution purposes. These are managed in Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Setup Information > Assessment Setup on the Assessment Methods Tab. Nominate the Objective your school has set up for students' final subject results (e.g. Overall Grade [OG] or Level of Achievement [LOA]). The distribution summary will display result related comments where applicable and where the 'Use Result Related Comments' option has been ticked above. If an Objective is not selected, then a distribution summary will not display. You can choose to display distribution summaries both in a graph (using this field) and in a table (using the 'Calculate Distribution Summary Using Objective Code' field above). Important! The 'Comparative Reporting' flag on each Student's record ('General' Tab) will determine if a student receives the distribution summary on their report and also whether their results are included in the distributions. Options are: ('Include'=Include in data summary and Display, 'Don't Include'=Include in data summary and do not display, and 'Exclude'=Exclude from data summary and do not display). This will not work with pre v35 style sheets. If you have customised your style sheet you need to follow the 'Modifying a Style Sheet' section and splice the 'Objective – chart' additions into your style sheet. The additions are shipped with the v35 upgrade and are available as a `.css` file in the following directory: `\tassweb\reportconfig\stylesheets\genericStudentAdditionsV35.css` Click here to view the associated CSS element. You can change the title and formatting of this in the style sheet using the following elements: .objective .chart .header .objective .chart .image .objective .chart .xgridlines .objective .chart .ygridlines .objective .chart .column .objective .chart .column .current .objective .chart .comment
Exclude Objectives with Less than	Select the minimum number of students required to have a result in each subject, in order for the distribution chart to print on the academic report. Use this option to suppress the distribution summary from appearing on small class sizes.
Chart Position	This option controls the positioning of the distribution charts. You can choose to display the charts: After each subject. The distribution chart for each subject will appear as the last element on each subject page. At the end of the report. The distribution charts for all subjects will appear on a summary page after all subject pages. Beside comment. The distribution charts will reduce in size and display to the right of the subject comment that is entered by teachers in webBook. If a subject does not have a comment, the distribution charts will revert back to display 'after each subject'. Beside objectives. This option will only be available where you have chosen an 'Objective Group(s)' in the 'Print Objective Groups in Columns' field above. The distribution charts will reduce in size and display to the right of the Objective Group with the lowest odd sort order. If a subject does not use one of the Objective Groups that has been selected, the distribution charts will revert back to display 'after each subject'. You will need to have inserted the v43 and v43.1 style sheet additions into your style sheet for these options to work. Refer to the 'Modifying a Style Sheet and Additions to the Style Sheet' section of this documentation for details on adding new functionality into your style sheet.

Additional Objective Group Positions

The objectives and results displayed on reports will be positioned between the subject outline (where applicable) and the teacher's comment. These options can be used to position specific Objective Groups in different locations on the report.

After Comment	This field allows you to nominate an Objective Group(s) that will be displayed after the teacher's comment (that has been entered using webBook) on the report. Holding down the 'Shift' key while clicking on your options permits a range selection, holding down the 'Ctrl' key enables selection of discrete (individual) criterion.

Reports can then be reprinted for a range or group of students using menu path Student Admin > Academic Reporting > Special Processes > Published Student Reports.
Publishing to the Parent Lounge portal will allow parents to download their own child's academic reports in PDF format. The school can also control which reporting periods are available to download reports or access result information by setting the 'IA Lock' flag to 'Staff Kiosk, Student Cafe, Parent Lounge Only' for the respective reporting period.

Important!

Publishing the report to the web will allow the school to re-print the report again later. It does not provide a facility to re-generate the report.

Format for 'Back to Back' printing

Back-to-back printing will print a blank page at the end of each report if it contains an odd number of pages. This ensures that each subsequent report card in the batch will not start on the back of another student's report.

Include Address Label page

If this option is selected, an additional page will be printed before each report containing address information based on the selections you make in the 'Address Options' section of this tab.

You will need to have inserted the v42 style sheet additions into your style sheet for the 'Include Address Label page' functionality to work.

Refer to the 'Modifying a Style Sheet' and 'Additions to the Style Sheet' section of this documentation for details on adding new functionality into your style sheet.

Click here to view the associated CSS element.

You can change the formatting of this in the style sheet using the following elements:

.addresslabel .parentname

.addresslabel .address

.addresslabel .address_barcode

.addresslabel .studentname

Address Options

Use this section to define the addresses to use when generating student reports.

Option 1 - Use Communication Rules

'Communication Rules' provide a 'student-centric' way of defining precisely how different areas of your school communicate with parents. They are especially useful for communication with split families and for families with students who have multiple parenting arrangements.

For further details, refer to 'How to handle split family arrangements' guide.

Communication Types

Choose the appropriate 'Communication Rule' to use when generating student reports.

The program will default to the 'Academic Reports' rule.

For further information see on the rules available click here ('Teacher Kiosk View').

Option 2 - Select Addresses

This methodology for communicating with parents can be used as an alternative to 'Communication Rules'. However, it is strongly recommended that your school investigate implementing 'Communication Rules' as a more precise method of communicating with parents.

Primary Copy Address

This will use the default address (or the email address that is contained in this address block if you are emailing). You can change this to any of the other address blocks on the parent record.

If you use an address other than the school default address, the system will look at the address that you enter here first and if it doesn't find any detail, it will then revert to using the default address. The school default address will be highlighted with an '*'.

This Address Only

Another scenario is that you ONLY want to produce reports for parents who have an entry in a particular address block. To achieve this check the 'This Address Only' checkbox and choose the relevant address to use.

Use Lives With (OLD) Address

This option is based on the redundant 'Lives With (OLD)' field on the 'General' tab in program Student Admin > Student Records >Student Information > Students.

This functionality becomes redundant from TASS.web v43.1 onwards.

This is because the 'Lives with' indicator for students has been moved to the 'Address and Communication Rules' tab.

'Communication Rules' provide a 'student-centric' way of defining precisely how different areas of your school communicate with parents. They are especially useful for communication with split families and for families with students who have multiple parenting arrangements.

For further details, refer to 'How to handle split family arrangements' guide.

Click here for an Administrator Note.

If your school is going to enable 'Communication Rules' you should refer to the 'How to' guide.

If your school is using a version of TASS.web that is v43.1 or later, and you are still using this field, you should implement 'Communication Rules' as soon as possible.

This option will be removed from the program in a future TASS.web release.

Additional Copies

This allows you to nominate one or more additional address(s) for which you will print additional copies of student reports.

The 'Second Copy Address' field allows the selection of multiple addresses by holding down the 'Ctrl' key whilst clicking on the required addresses.

Additional copy to Student 'Lives With (OLD)' Address

This can be used to create an additional copy of student reports for the parent based on the redundant 'Lives With (OLD)' field on the 'General' tab in program Student Admin > Student Records >Student Information > Students.

See 'Use Lives With (OLD) Address' (in this table above) for further explanation.
