Reviewing Reports

Once the initial writing phase is finished, reports shift from the Write reports area to the Review reports area of your dashboard.  

REVIEWING REPORTS FOR A GROUP OR CLASS

1. Navigate to the Reporting hub on the left of your screen

   

2. Locate the class or group you are writing reports for by searching or browsing in the groups menu. Click on your class or group.

   

3. This takes you to the reporting dashboard for the class or group which provides a clear overview of your progress, showing for each active template:

• How many reports are still to be written
• How many reports are in progress
• How many reports are ready for review (and ready for principal or leadership comment)
• How many reports are ready to publish

• How many reports are published

  

4. Click Review reports

   

   The review area provides a comprehensive view of a child’s report before the report is finalised for parents. Unlike the drafting stage, the Review Stage allows you to see the entire report for every child on a single page. 

   Even though reports are marked as "complete”, reviewers still have full editing power to correct typos or grammatical errors.

   Click X Exit at any time in this process to come back later

   

5. The view will default to the report of the first student alphabetically by first name. Click on the name of another student to review their report first. Student names will disappear from this panel as their reports are ready to publish.

   

6. Click on any narrative or data box to edit the content

   

   A new ‘edit’ box will populate to the right of your screen. This is where you can make any necessary changes to the content or data. Click a different narrative or data component to edit, or click the X button to close the editing box.

   Use the edit box to make your changes. These will automatically be saved. 

   

7. Principal or Leadership Comment

   If your school has chosen to include a Principal's Comment, please note that this section is hidden from teachers during the drafting stage. This allows teachers to progress their reports through the stages without relying on this comment being completed

• Visibility: The Principal's comment box only becomes accessible once the report reaches the Review Stage.

• Final Word: Adding this comment here ensures it serves as the official "final word" on the document before it is locked for publishing.

  Click on the Comment box to open the editor and write the leadership or principal comment. These may also be written from the report dashboard for all students at once.

  

8. Finalise the report

   Once you are satisfied that the report is ready and the leadership comments are added click √ Mark ready to publish

   

9. Once all reports in the set are marked, you will be automatically taken back to your report dashboard. 

   You will now see all reports that are ready to publish in the “Green Box.”

   Pro-tip: Always check that the total number in this box matches the total number of students in your class.
