Customizing Report Tables

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

Filtering Tables

A Filters panel appears on the left side of certain pages in Centralized Reporting. The filter options available depend on which report you are viewing.

To apply filters to any report with the filter panel:

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

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

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

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

Once you've filtered a report, all the reports that can be accessed from the page you're on will be filtered the same way. Filters do not persist when you log out, change user roles, or switch between systems.

Table 11 provides an overview of the filters available in Centralized Reporting.

Table 11: Overview of Centralized Reporting 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 test. [Subject]: For example, math or English language arts. [Grade Level]: The grade level for which assessments are intended.	Dashboard Performance on Tests report Student Portfolio 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 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 will 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 drop-down 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.	Teacher Performance on Tests report School-level user Performance on Tests report
Schools	In the Performance on Tests report, corporation-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 will 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, clicking a test name will take you to the School Performance on Test report instead of the Corporation Performance on Test report.

Test Reasons	Test reasons are categories used for organizing test opportunities. Test reasons simply represent test windows. 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 will not be disaggregated. You may find disaggregated data easier to understand. All Test Reasons: Sets reports to include assessments for every test reason. [Test Reason]: Sets reports to only include assessments associated with the selected test reason.

School Year	In the Student Portfolio 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 Student Portfolio Report will default 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 view data spanning multiple years. [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

Sorting Tables

Some tables allow you to sort the data by various columns. Sortable columns display a set of arrows in the column header.

To sort a table:

1.To sort by descending order, click the header of the column you wish to sort by. The bottom arrow in the header is shaded darker when the column is sorted in descending order.

2.To sort by ascending order, click 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 specifications persist 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.
Click the arrow buttons on the right side of this field to increase or decrease the number of rows displayed in increments of one.

Viewing Additional Rows and Columns

If a table has more rows than can be displayed on a single page, the table data will be paginated. The number in the lower-right corner of a table indicates how many rows are in the table.

To view additional table rows:

To move to the next and previous pages in a table, click 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.

If a table has more columns than can be displayed on a single page, a set of arrow buttons appears on the table margins.

To view additional table columns:

To scroll the table to the right and left, click the arrow buttons on the right and left sides of the table. Alternatively, click and drag the green horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the table.

If a table contains expandable sections, click 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.

To expand all accordion sections in a table:

1.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.

2.Optional: To collapse all sections again, navigate back to the table. When the "Hide Accessible Table" message appears, press the Enter key. All expandable sections in the table collapse, except the Total column.
