Custom reports can be created via PARS to analyse the data you are interested in. Custom grading reports will show grading data as well as personal details about pupils such as SEN, EAL, Pupil Premium, FSM6, etc. 

This page is accessed via: 
'''[[PARS main menu]] > [[Grading]] > Custom grading reports''' 

''Click this link to see our guide to using reports: [http://www.tascsoftware.co.uk/wiki/PARS/files/basic%20reports.pdf A guide to using reports]

==The custom grading reports page==

At the bottom of the custom grading reports page, you will be able to see a list of all custom reports that have been created. If you click on one of these reports to highlight it, the columns used on the report will be shown at the top of the page.

'''Run''' 
This button allows you to run the report for a selection of students. 

'''Add''' 
Create a new custom grading report. 

'''Edit''' 
Edit an existing custom grading report. 

'''Delete'''
Remove the selected custom grading report. 

'''Empty columns are hidden''' 
You can toggle this on or off. When it is on, columns that do not contain any data will be hidden from the report. 

'''Empty rows are hidden''' 
You can toggle this on or off. When it is on, rows that do not contain any grading data will be hidden from the report. 

'''Recorded by column is hidden''' 
You can toggle this on or off. When it is on, the report will not show who recorded the grades. 

==Adding and editing reports==

To create a new report, click the "Add" button from the top toolbar. Alternatively, select an existing report and click "Edit" to amend that report. Once you have done that, you will come to a new page. At the top of the page you can give your report a title. 

===Report types===

There are various report types, depending on the format you want to use for your data. The different types available are: 

[[Image:cgr06.jpg]] 

===Fixed columns===

In this section you can choose which columns of personal details you want on you report. These will appear on the left of your report and allow you to filter so that you can see just those pupils with FSM, SEN, EAL, etc. Click the "Add" button to add fixed columns to your report.

===Element columns===

You choose which grading columns should appear on your custom report. To do this, click the "Add" button under the "Added element columns" section and the window below will open. Some elements might appear multiple times if they are linked to more than one resultset, or have more than one schedule (see [[configure grading elements]] for more info). Select the columns that you want on your report and then click "Accept".

===Managing columns===

To remove columns from your report, select them by clicking the tickboxes next to their names. Next click the "Remove" button under the appropriate section (fixed or element columns) and the columns will be removed from your report. 

You can also change the order the columns will appear on your report. To do this, select the column you want to move, and then click either "Up" or "Down" to reposition it. The higher up a column is on the list, the further left it will appear when running the report. 

===Graphs and previous years' data===

If you see a button on the top toolbar called "Graph chart available" then when you run your custom grading report, a bar chart will be available. This will only happen if the gradesets or [[Configure grade schemes (Connect)|grade schemes]] are the same for every element on the report. The "show previous years" button will allow the report to show grading data from previous academic years.
