Overview

Each Section can include Components by clicking the Add Components button when a Section is selected. Typically, Report Cards in PDF always included a Cover Sheet with certain school specific information. These components have been created for the new report templates and can be found when adding Report Details or Student Details or Signatures to a section. However, where previously these types of content were limited and set to specific parts of the report Template, they are now customisable and can be added to any section at any place within the template. 

Certain Components, like Student Details or Report Details, also come pre-built with different versions in their layout to allow for even greater customisation of the report card template. Remember to click “Save Changes" at the bottom right every time a change is made to components or customisation of those within a section.

All relevant Term Grades information from classes can be included in Assessment components added to any Section. 

Depending on the initial template settings and Additional Programmes added, it would be possible to show the Assessment of classes in multiple academic programmes in the same Assessment Component. 

For ease of viewing the report in a web version, it might be more convenient though to create additional sections, one for each programme and add the Assessment Component to each section, e.g. IB Diploma Section and assessments, IB Career-related Programme Section and assessments, High School Section and assessments, etc. 

Always save any changes made to the customisation left menu via the Save Changes button at the bottom right side of the page before navigating to the next Section. 

The Class Reports option would add one page for each class the student is taking. This was used to allow schools to include more details per each class. Since there are no longer set Sections necessary, the same Class information can now be included in every Assessment  component. It is for example possible to customise what information for each class is visible as well whether Rubrics are to be shown as subject specific or general first. You can choose to show the MYP achievement level descriptors, in addition to subject-specific rubrics. Furthermore, all Assessment components include the ability to show Tasks assessed within the Term. 

You can also show the student's Interdisciplinary Criteria Assessments by ticking the Interdisciplinary Assessment checkbox. 

To recreate a style of report Section that shows each class as a separate table, select the Separate tables for each Class box in the Assessment component. 

Additional Assessment component functions include the inclusion of Class Attendance, Class Teacher comments or display of subject group logos or teacher avatar photos.

If your school subscribes to the ManageBac Attendance Module, attendance data can also be added to report templates via the Attendance tab.

You can then choose which data you wish to include. Attendance can be shown for Classes or Homeroom. Data will show based on the Academic Term dates or for the whole school year if Show yearly attendance is enabled. Homeroom attendance can be displayed on the Cover Sheet or Summary.

To begin, click Add Rubric to create a new rubric.

Proofing & Review is a feature available for any school with the reports module, and allows administrators to view and edit grades and comments from each class before generating reports.

Navigate to Proofing & Review > Select Programme. From here you can view and edit grades from all classes by Subject or by Student.

Search By Student to read and edit Term Grades and comments from each of the classes that the student is in. 

Click the Reflections page to read and edit the reflections of the Student, Homeroom Advisor, Coordinator, Head of School or Counselor. These reflections can then be enabled on the report card via the Reflections component in Report Template.

To generate your reports, please first confirm the following data:


1. Select the applicable Programme.
2. Term: Select a term with the correct grade data.

3. Years: Choose to generate reports for all year levels at once, or specify which years will have reports generated. (This setup allows you, for instance, to generate reports for Grade 9 using one report template, and then generate for Grade 10 using another template.) If you would like to include non-IB grades, tick the checkbox and specify the term.
4. Template: Ensure that your selected template includes your desired information and excludes other information. You can easily adjust your template by clicking  the Template title to edit. You can have an unlimited number of templates.
5. Next, give your report a Title (e.g. First Semester Report).
6. Select the Report Generation Type you want to produce. Web only reports, PDF only reports or both.
7. Choose your Sort Order, and indicate what information you want to show in the Report Card file name.
8. Indicate the Preparation Date. Select a future release date and time if you want to generate the report cards ahead of time and have a scheduled release at a different time. Enabling the Notify parents & students option will also delay the notification emails to be sent until that point in time.
