Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Issue: I do not have the 'Add custom date range option.'
Solution: Your role may not have permission to add a custom date range for reports. Only users with the role of Owner or Manager can add date ranges.
Issue: The report table is empty and shows no student data rows.
Solution: If the report table is empty, confirm that your applied filter criteria do not conflict. Conflicting parameters, such as selecting a graduation grade and an unrelated homeroom class simultaneously, will produce zero results. Click the Clear Filters button to restore the default view. Then, reapply your criteria one layer at a time to ensure students populate the list.
FAQs
FAQs
Can I apply multiple filters to a single report at the same time?
Yes, you can apply multiple filters to a single report simultaneously by opening the Filters menu and selecting several criteria before clicking Apply filters. The system combines your selections to narrow down the table data.
Will my custom desktop date ranges be accessible on my mobile device?
Your custom desktop date ranges are fully accessible on your mobile device because presets synchronize automatically across all platform versions. Any preset created on a desktop web browser appears instantly in the mobile app dropdown list.
What does checking the "Set end date to today" box do to my report?
Checking the Set end date to today box configures your preset to automatically advance its final boundary to match the current calendar day. This ensures your report dynamically updates to include today's data every time you open it.
