Student Date of Birth

Click here for information on using the Relative Date Range Selector.

This tool makes it easy to specify a time period that is relative to the current date.

This becomes particularly useful when saving or scheduling reports as the date the schedule or report is generated will be relative to that date rather than the date you initially created the report.

Options will be available based on the filter field. Full list of relative options include:

Today
Tomorrow
Yesterday
This Week
This Month
This Period e.g. Term or Semester, depending on how the Timetable is setup
This Year
Relative Date Range e.g. Next 14 days or Previous 2 months. Filters include:
- Next or Previous
- Days, Weeks, Months, Years
- Value to specify the amount e.g. 1 Month

Alternatively, you can select a specific date by using:

Single Date
Date Range

Use the 'Student(s)' quick search if running the report for a single student or a small number of students. Only students who match the 'Student Selection' that you chose directly above will be available.

Standardised Testing

To generate a report of student Standardised Testing results, use the drop-down list to choose the 'Test Type' (e.g. NAPLAN).

Use the 'Additional Fields' to select the results that will be displayed (based on the 'Test Type' selected), e.g. Results in Numeracy for NAPLAN.

Sorting

By default, this list will sort the data by student name.

Use the drop-down list to select an alternative sorting option.

One primary and four secondary sorts are available (use 'Then by').

Where applicable you can also use the following icons to:

	Determine if the sort order is ascending or descending.

My Saved Reports

Click here for information on creating report templates and using 'My saved reports'.

This listing/email program has extensive selection options. These options can be saved as a 'My Saved Report' for later reuse.

You can use the 'My Saved Reports' drop-down list to access your previously saved templates.

You can delete a previously saved template by selecting it from the 'My Saved Reports' drop-down list and clicking the 'Delete' button.

To delete a saved list, do so via the listing/email program that you used to create it. Use the column 'Menu Option' to identify the program used.

You can modify a previously saved template by selecting it from the 'My Saved Reports' drop-down list, making the necessary changes to the report options, then clicking 'GO'.

Your saved reports can't be accessed by another user and vice versa. This is because each template is dependent on the individual user's security permissions.

Your saved reports will also become available via 'My Saved Lists' on the homepage menu or via the 'Listings' top menu.
