Introduction
You can add a comment to an individual student in a Pupil Progress tracker to provide extra context alongside their marks and grades.
Student comments are useful when you want to explain a result, add personalised feedback or provide additional information for parents and students when sharing reports.
All users can add comments. Comments are specific to the tracker where they are entered and only appear on reports for students who have a comment saved.
Add a comment to a student
Open the relevant tracker in either Data Entry or Tracker Analysis mode.
Find the student you want to add a comment for.
Select Comment, located to the right of the student's name and the download report button.
Enter the comment you want to appear on the student's report.
To add comments for other students, use the arrows to move between students.
Select Save to save your comments.
đĄ Note: If you do not add a comment for a student, their report will remain unchanged.
View student comments on reports
Once you have saved a comment, it will automatically appear the next time you produce a report for that student from the relevant tracker.
The comment only applies to the tracker where you entered it. For example, a comment added to a student's Maths tracker will not automatically appear on reports produced from their other subject trackers.
Edit or delete a student comment
To change an existing comment:
Open the relevant tracker.
Select Comment next to the student's name.
Edit the text.
Select Save.
To delete a comment:
Open the student's comment box.
Delete all of the existing text.
Select Save.
The deleted comment will no longer appear on future reports.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add the same comment to multiple students?
There is currently no bulk option for adding the same comment to multiple students. The quickest method is to copy the comment and paste it into each student's comment box.
Will the comment show for all subjects?
No. A student comment is specific to the tracker where you entered it. You will need to add a separate comment to another subject tracker if required.
Can I delete a comment after it has been added?
Yes. Open the student's comment box, delete the existing text and select Save.
Planned updates to student comments
We are planning further improvements to student comments, including:
Rich text formatting, such as bold text and bullet points.
Options to bulk delete comments.
These features are planned for a future update and are not currently available.
đ Team Tip: Use comments to add useful context that cannot be understood from a mark or grade alone. Remember that saved comments will be visible to parents and students when the report is produced.
