Using the Customization Tabs

The tabs at the top of the table allow for quick modification and customization of reports. Changes may be made to multiple tabs at once before clicking “Update.”

  This feature allows user to change the selection of which grades are shown in the report. For example, to view data for grade 4, select “Grade 4” and click "Update."
  
• Scores

• Filter
  Use this feature to include or exclude students based on demographic characteristics. To include a subgroup, click on the desired demographic variable from the drop-down list. To select more than one subgroup, simply click on another demographic variable. Click on the word “and” or “or” to specify the logical relationship between the subgroups selected. “And” will only show students who fall under all of the characteristics selected whereas “or” will show students who fall under any one or more of the characteristics.
  
  For instance, to view students who are either Asian or female, select “Female” and “Asian”. Then, click the “and” link, which is automatically selected, to change to “or” and click “Update.”
