Create a Summary Report

To create a summary report, so that the average of each subject will appear on one report, use the “make summary file” command under the File menu.

• First make sure the subject is entered in the class information field on each grade book file. With the gradebook file open, go to the edit menu, select class information and type in the subject. Do this for each file or subject that will appear on the summary report.

• Next, pull down the File menu and select “make summary file” 

• A window opens allowing you to select multiple files. Click on a file and then click on add to list. Repeat until all the files that you want to appear on the report are in the column on the right. Click OK

• Save this summary file

• Now print a standard report under the Reports menu. Customize the report as you normally would. Select students, test information and class information before printing.

• You may also print more detailed summary reports by using the “multiple files for one teacher” templates that are found under the Report menu. Follow the same steps to include the subject in the class information field if you haven’t already. When you select “multiple files” under the Report menu a window opens that allows you to select files to combine.  Customize the report before printing.  The format selected will appear on each subject’s report.  Only one subject will be visible on your monitor but a summary of each subject will print. Select individual students or the entire class before printing.
