Cautionary Notes

  • Ensure the template name is specific enough to avoid confusion with other report templates.

  • Double-check whether reports should be merged or kept as individual files before saving.

  • Confirm the sort order is correct, especially if reports will be distributed externally.

  • Only enable display options that are relevant; unnecessary fields can make reports harder to read.

  • If learning characteristics are not used by your school, enabling the option will not add content to the report.

Tips for Efficiency

  • Use a consistent naming convention for templates so staff can identify them quickly.

  • Build one template per year group, assessment type, or reporting purpose to reduce editing later.

  • Save time by starting from an existing template when only minor changes are needed.

  • Set the most commonly used template as default to streamline future report downloads.

  • Review the template settings once before saving to avoid repeated edits later.
