Using the Assignments Reporting page

The Assignments Reporting page provides a comprehensive table view of all student assignments. This report allows you to view data using a fast interface, filter by specific criteria, and group information to analyse trends effectively.
 

Permissions

To access this report, you will need one of the following permissions:

• Assignments: Administer/View All Students: To see all assignments across the school.
• Assignments: Administer/View My Students: To see assignments for your own courses where your Academic Lead status overlaps with the filer dates.

If you do not have permission, you will need to ask your administration team to assign it to you.
 

Navigating to the page

1. Go to Students > Assignments > Reporting.
2. When the page loads, you will see a detailed list of assignments in a table.
    

The table displays the following columns by default:

• UPN
• Student Name
• Year Group
• Registration Form
• Assignment Title
• Course
• Due Datetime
• Status
• Created By
   

Filtering Data

You can narrow down the results using the filter above the table.

• Click the Filter above the table
• Set the Academic Year you want to report on (this defaults to the current year)
• Select a Due between and And dates. Note that these must be within the academic year set in the Academic Year dropdown.
• Select specific criteria such as Subject, Course, Status, Student, Assignment and the staff member the assignment was Created by.
• Click Apply to view your results.
   

Example filter settings

 If you want to see all geography assignments due for a specific student during the Autumn Term, you might:

• Set your filter to Due between and And dates to Sep 1st and Dec 31st, respectively
• Select the specific Student in the dropdown
• And set the Subject dropdown to Geography 
   

Saved Filters

Once you have set up a report, you can save the filter settings so you can easily reload the same filter at a later point in time. 

For example, if you know you might need to pull up the Geography assignments due in Autumn for the student in the example above at a later point, saving your filter will allow you to do this with ease.

Applying a Grouping

1. Click the Filter above the table
2. Click on the Group By option(s) at the bottom
3. Choose to group by Course, Student, Staff (Assignment Creator), or Assignment.
4. The report will provide a breakdown of the following metrics for each group:
    
   • Grouping Name: The specific name of the Course, Student, Staff, or Assignment.
   • Count of Assignments: The total number of assignments in that group.
   • Number of Submitted: How many assignments have been handed in?
   • Number of Not Submitted: How many assignments are currently outstanding?
   • Number of Late: The count of assignments marked as late.
   • Number of Marked: How many assignments have been graded (where marking is enabled).
      

Example Grouping

If you want to have a top-level view of all of the assignments created for each course during the current year, including submission rates, you would use the following settings in the filter:

• Set Due between and And to the start and end of the year
• Set Group by to the Course
• Set And then by to Assignment
