Customizing Tables

This section provides instructions for customizing the structure and appearance of tables in Centralized Reporting System.

Filtering Tables

A Filters panel appears on the left side of certain pages in Centralized Reporting System, and a Filters menu button displays in the upper-right corner of the Longitudinal Report. The filter options available depend on which page you are viewing.

To apply filters to a Longitudinal Report:

1.Select the Filters button at the upper-right corner of the window. A menu opens.

2.Select the option(s) you want.

3.Select Apply. The Longitudinal Report updates to reflect the data in the selected filters. The row of filter details in the header shows whatever filters are applied.

4.Optional: To remove the applied filters, open the menu again and select Clear Filters. Select Apply.

To apply filters to any report with the Filters panel:

1.Select the Filters panel or the button representing the facet you want to filter by. The panel expands.

2.Select the option(s) you want. You may need to expand higher-level options to find lower-level ones.

3.Select Apply. The report updates to reflect the data in the selected filters. The filter details below the table header shows whatever filters are applied.

4.Optional: To remove the applied filters, open the panel again and select Clear Filters. Select Apply.

Once you’ve filtered a table (not including the tables in a Longitudinal Report), all the pages you navigate to from the current page will be filtered the same way. Filters do not persist when you log out, change user roles, change reporting time period, or switch between systems.

Table 13 provides an overview of the filters available in Centralized Reporting System.

Table 13: Overview of Centralized Reporting System Filters
Filter	Options	Available Reports
Test Groups	Test groups organize assessments by type, subject, and grade level. You can select any number of options from the hierarchy of checkboxes. [Test Type]: The general category of the assessment. [Subject]: The subject the assessments test. [Grade Level]: The grade level for which assessments are intended.	Dashboard Performance on Tests report
Rosters	Rosters typically represent classes, but can represent any group that’s meaningful to users, such as students who have taken honors courses. The rosters in Centralized Reporting System are the same rosters in TIDE. On the Performance on Tests report, teachers and school-level users can filter by roster. When you filter, you eliminate students not in the selected roster from the data you’re viewing. You may want to do this in order to view a single class’s list of assessments. If you don’t filter, all rosters appear. You may find it easier to interpret data for a single roster. School-level users can filter by roster after first selecting the teacher associated with the roster from an initial dropdown list. Teacher filters (only available to school-level users): All Teachers: Sets reports to display data for all teachers’ students. [Teacher Name]: Generates a roster filter, as described below, displaying roster options only for the specified teacher's students. Roster filters: All Rosters (only available to teachers): Sets reports to display data for all your students. [Roster Name]: Sets reports to display data only for the specified roster. If a roster name is grayed out in the menu, there are no assessment data available for that roster for this school year. To learn how to add, modify, and upload rosters in Centralized Reporting System, refer to Roster Settings.	Teacher Performance on Tests report School-level user Performance on Tests report
Schools	In the Performance on Tests report, complex-level users can filter by school. When you filter, you eliminate students not in the selected school from the data you’re viewing. You may want to do this in order to view a single school's list of assessments on the dashboard. If you don’t filter, all schools appear. You may find it easier to interpret data for a single school. When the Performance on Tests report is filtered by a single school, selecting a test name will take you to the School Performance on Test report instead of the District Performance on Test report.

Test Reasons	Test reasons are categories used for organizing test opportunities. For summative assessments, test reasons simply represent test windows and are not useful. When your test opportunities have test reasons, you can filter reports by a single test reason. For example, if there are test reasons for two different timeframes, you may want to filter by the first one and look at performance on a particular subject, then filter by the second one and find out if students have improved on that material. If you don't filter by test reason, the reports default to showing data for all test reasons. This will allow you to compare multiple test reasons side by side, but the data are not disaggregated. You may find disaggregated data easier to understand. All Test Reasons: Sets reports to include assessments for every test reason, including “Unassigned”. [Test Reason]: Sets reports to only include assessments with the selected test reason. To learn how to assign test reasons to opportunities in Centralized Reporting System, refer to Managing Test Reasons.	Dashboard Performance on Tests report Longitudinal Report
Standards	An educational standard, also known as an assessment target, describes the skill the item measures. You may want to find out how your students performed on a particular standard or cluster of standards. In certain Assessment Reports that show data on individual items, you can filter by the standards to which items are aligned. That way you can view your students’ performance in just one area of skill. Then you can switch filters to compare it with their performance in another area. If you don’t filter by standard, the reports show results for all standards by default. You may find that narrowing down or comparing specific standard data helps you understand students’ abilities better. [Cluster]: Sets reports to only include items aligned with standards in the selected cluster. Multiple clusters may be nested. [Standard]: Appears when a cluster has been selected. Sets reports to only include items aligned with the selected standard.

School Year	In the Student Portfolio and Longitudinal Reports, you can view all of the results within a school year or across years to learn how students have performed over time. If you don’t filter by school year, the Longitudinal Report defaults to showing data for all years, and the Student Portfolio Report defaults to showing data only for the current year. You may find a single year’s data easier to understand, or you may find it useful to track data spanning multiple years. Note that in Longitudinal Reports, the years given are not calendar years; “2024” refers to the 2024–2025 school year. [School Year]: Sets reports to only include assessments completed during the selected school year. You can select as many years as you like.	Student Portfolio Report Longitudinal Report
Test Label	A test label is the name of an assessment. [Test Label]: Sets a Longitudinal Report to include only the specified assessment(s).	Longitudinal Report

Sorting Tables

Sortable table columns display arrows in the column headers.

To sort a table:

1.To sort a column in descending order, select the column header. The bottom arrow in the header is shaded darker when the column is sorted in descending order.

2.To sort a column in ascending order, select the column header again. The top arrow in the header is shaded darker when the column is sorted in ascending order.

Customizing Table Rows

You can specify the number of rows each table displays at a time. Your specification persists for that table.

To specify the number of rows displayed, do one of the following:

In the Rows per page field below the table, enter the number of rows you want the table to display per page.
Select the arrow buttons on the right side of this field to increase or decrease the number of rows displayed in increments of one.

Displaying Additional Rows and Columns

If a table has more rows than can be displayed on a single page, the table is paginated.

To display additional table rows:

To move to the next and previous pages in a table, select the arrow buttons at the lower-right corner of the table.
To jump to a specific table page, enter the page number in the field at the lower-right corner of the table. Press Enter.

To display additional table columns:

To scroll the table to the right and left, select the arrow buttons on the right and left sides of the table. Alternatively, drag the green horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the table.
If a table contains expandable sections, select the section bars to expand and collapse them.
If you’re navigating the page by tabbing through it, you may want to expand all the expandable sections of a table at once. This feature, which is available in most Assessment Reports, will make the table accessible to a screen reader.

Navigate to the table by tabbing through the page in your browser. When the "Load Accessible Table" message appears, press the Enter key. All expandable sections in the table expand.

To collapse all sections, navigate to the table and when the "Hide Accessible Table" message appears, press the Enter key. All expandable sections in the table collapse, except the Total column.
