Distribution Summaries Video

This video explains how to print distribution summaries on academic reports, which visually compare a student's performance in a subject to their cohort. It demonstrates enabling distribution summaries in both table and chart formats, configuring runtime options such as objectives, minimum record requirements, and consolidation of grades, and positioning charts within reports. The tutorial also covers customising the appearance of summaries through stylesheet adjustments, including colours, grid lines, and text, and regenerating reports to reflect these changes.
