Creating Custom Reports using Report Builder

Link to download and/or print the Click Sheet: Creating Custom Reports Using Report Builder

Based on teacher and administrator requests, Penda's Design & Development Teams have created and launched a robust custom report builder. Available as of October 9, 2023, Penda's Report Builder allows teachers, school administrators, and district administrators high level functions and metadata in the design of custom reports. 

In addition to the usage reports, assignment reports, progress reports, and standards-based line-item analysis reports already available, teachers and administrators can now build custom reports using one or several data columns now available:

• Grade Book - the grade book report shows student scores for assignments and activities in a simple grade book format
• Mini Assessments - the mini assessments report shows mini assessment scoring data for individual students and grouped entities.
• Total Mastery - the total mastery report shows average student scores and total count of students that mastered the content/activity selected
• Total Usage - the total usage report shows time spent on activities by the students selected.

To Access Penda's All-New Report Builder

Once logged in to your teacher or administrator account, click "+ Create New Report" found under the Reports header in the left navigation bar.

On the Settings tab, start by giving your report a title then either selecting "2023 - 2024" for the academic session OR leave the academic session blank and select specific start and end dates. Then, click Apply. 

On the Students tab, based on your role, you'll then have the opportunity of selecting schools, classes, groups, or individual students to include in your report. Once you've made your selection, click Apply.

Once you've clicked Apply, an "Add Data Column" will appear on the right side of the screen. Begin by clicking "Add Data Column +."

A "New Data Column" will appear along with data column options on the left side of the Report Builder screen. Build your custom report by selecting a data column, then clicking Apply.

Depending on the data column you select, the system may prompt you to make additional choices. If so, make your selection then click Apply. The data column will be added to your custom report along with corresponding data. 

If you wish, you may add additional data columns. To do so, simply click "Add Data Column +" again and select a data column to also include in your custom report (shown above). Once finished creating your custom report, click Save.

Once saved, your report is available for future access to run and/or further edit in the Report Manager section of your account.

Target a custom report you have created and click on the corresponding report tile to access the report.
