Adding, Modifying, and Editing Reports

All reports are stored in the database, and can therefore be added, removed, and tweaked to fit your needs. To access the report management page, click Reports in the sidebar. Then find and click on the little gear icon to the right of the search bar. This will bring you to the report management area. If no reports appear when accessing the page, reload the page in your browser.

Adding

1. At the bottom of the page, under the blue ribbon that says "Drop new reports here", click the Choose File button. (Note to power users, you can also drag and drop reports here)

2. This will open a file selection dialog. Navigate to the correct folder, then click on the report you would like to add.3. Finally, click Open. Wait several seconds until the report name disappears from the Choose File button. The report will be added to the list.

Permissions Note: When a custom report is added, it will only be accessible to administrators. To make it accessible to others, edit the report Category and enter a valid category. For example, to make the report available to all teachers, enter its category as Grades or Report Cards.

Naming Note: If there is another report in the system already with the same name, Candle will add Duplicate (87) or another random number at the end of the report name. For example, if you re-add a Traditional Report Card, it will become Traditional Report Card Duplicate (87). Re-name the report to your own name.
