Creating/Managing Custom Filters
Creating custom filters allows you to print reports for only those students who meet a set of predefined selection criteria.
When you apply a filter to a report, the class averages (and other cumulative averages and calculations) are based on the
population that matches the filter. For example, suppose you have a class of 99 students with 33 students in three different
periods (defined using the custom field). When you print a report for students in Period 1, the class averages, shaded graph
area, etc. will be based on those 33 students in Period 1 (not the entire 99 students).
1 From the Manage Custom Filters dialog, highlight the filter you wish to edit and click Edit or click New to create a new
filter.
NOTE
To delete an existing filter, highlight the filter you wish to delete and click Delete.
2 Enter or edit the name for your filter (e.g., 4th graders).
3 Set up your selection criteria (e.g., Grade Level = 4).
4 If you wish to include multiple criteria in your filter, click More and set up another set of criteria. Select and if you want
to list students who meet both sets criteria. Select or if you want to list students who fit either set of criteria.
NOTE
If you use multiple criteria in a filter, criteria separated by and are grouped together while
criteria separated by or are processed separately.
5 Repeat step 4 as necessary. You may include up to five sets of criteria in a single filter. Click Fewer to remove criteria
from the filter.
6 Click OK to record your changes.
Filters are stored as part of the class file. You can include up to 15 filters per class file.
