Overview of the Dashboard Generator

When you log in to Centralized Reporting System, the Dashboard Generator page appears. The controls on the left let you select from the groups of tests that have been processed in your state for the school year. Typically, you may choose test types, subjects within the test types, and grades within the subjects.

Test types may include Authored Tests, which comprises field-authored tests created in Checkpoint. This type of test does not list subjects or grades as subcategories. If a field-authored test opportunity requires any hand scoring, it will not appear in reports until all items are scored.

To the right of the dashboard generation controls are some other useful features. The Looking for a specific student? section allows you to use student ID to view all that student’s test results. The Features & Tools menu appears on the right side of this page and in reports, offering multiple features that are described elsewhere in this guide.

If the Dashboard Generator displaying a message saying there is no data, that means no test opportunities are available for this school year.
