Preview a Report
After you create a report template, preview it to display the results
of your report. Use this function before printing any report to
ensure that the correct information appears and that it is formatted
properly. For more information on printing a report, see the section
"Print a Report."
There are two methods for previewing a report: while creating the
report and from the PowerGrade menu.
How to Preview a Report While Creating
the Template
Preview the report while you are creating the template. Click Preview
at the bottom of the dialog before clicking OK. The resulting report
displays your selections.
You can do any of the following:
- Click the Zoom icon to increase the size of the report display.
- Click the Forward and Back icons to move from page to page.
- If you are satisfied with the results of the report, you can
print it by clicking the Print icon. For more information on printing
reports, see the section "Print
a Report."
- Click the Close icon to return to the spreadsheet. The report
saves before previewing.
- Press and hold Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) and click the Close
icon to edit the report. For more information on how to edit the
report, see the section "Modify
a Report."
How to Preview a Report from the PowerGrade
Menu
This method for previewing a report is helpful when you want to
run a report using an existing template.
- Choose an available class from the Classes menu. The class page
for the selected class appears.
- Choose Reports > Preview. The Report Names page appears.
- Choose the report you want to preview from the menu and click
OK. The report template displays the most recent data. You can
print the report or edit the template.
Note: If you are printing the "Individual student
report," select a student from the Students dialog.
To print an individual student report for several students, press
and hold Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) as you click the names
of the students you want to include. If the names are consecutive
on the list, click the first name, scroll to the last name, and
press Shift while you click the last name to select all the names.
