This section describes how to generate user-defined Report Builder reports through the selection of numerous filter and column options for displaying reports results. Once you have selected the desired settings, you can save the report with those settings and its individualized name to use in the future. For information on managing Report Builder reports and users’ access to the reports, as well as guidelines on creating custom reports in Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder 2.0 for use in GradeBook, refer to the ProgressBook Report Builder Management Guide.
The following Report Builder reports are available to users with master and school administrator privileges on the Administrator Home Page:
•Class Assignment Marks Admin – For Default and Custom Setup 1 teachers’ classes, the report displays class assignment mark information for individual or multiple teachers’ classes in individual or multiple reporting periods; for Custom Setup 2 teachers’ classes, it displays class assignment assessment mark information for individual or multiple teachers’ classes in individual or multiple reporting periods.
•Homework and Marks Posted to Parent Access Admin – Displays assignments and assignment types for a school grouped by teacher and class within a date range with an indication of whether or not marks are posted to ParentAccess and the Frontline ProgressBook Parent & Student app.
•Report Card Marks Admin –Provides numerous options for presenting report card information for individual or multiple teachers’ class(es). While this report is designed similarly to secondary report cards, it can also be used to view report card grades for elementary classes. For example, you can apply specific filter options to create a report that displays students with grades above or below a grade threshold.
•Report Card – Classes with no Students – Displays information about classes that are tied to courses where the course belongs to a course group on a report card, but the class has no students in it. This report includes the report card name, course name, course section, and course district ID.

This report cannot be used on classes using standards-based grading.
Naming conventions for reporting periods such as Quarter, Period, Marking Period, Grading Period, etc., on the Report Viewer screen are defined by the school district.
