Lesson 4: Working with Reports
In this lesson, you will be taken through the steps of selecting a report and setting its options. Then, instead of printing the report, you will preview the report on screen. The Demo Gradebook should be open. You can be in any class.
1 Click the Print tool on the tool bar or choose Print from the File menu. The Print Reports window will open. Notice that there are three tabs with different reports listed under each for a total of nineteen reports.

2 Click the Student tab, select the Single-class Progress item and click Next. After clicking, the Report Options window will open. The Report Options window allows you to set options for the report and then preview or print the report. There is a different Report Options window for each report.
3 The upper half of the Report Options window allows you to select the students to receive reports. The lower half allows you to select the items to be included in each report. Click the set buttons to open windows where additional options can be set. Click the Page/Print Setup button to set options based on your printer. Set the range and options as desired.
 
4 Click the Preview button to open the Print Preview window. This window has two views: fit-in-screen and full-size. The fit-in-screen view shows the entire page. The cursor is a magnifying glass. By clicking once on any part of the page, the view automatically switches to the full-size view. In the full-size view the cursor becomes a hand. By pressing the mouse button, the page can be grabbed and dragged about. Double-clicking causes the view to change to the original view. The Zoom button can also be used to toggle between the two views.
5 Click the Done button to close the Print Preview window.
6 Change any options in the Report Options window, then preview again to see how the report has changed.
7 Click the Cancel button in the Report Options window.
8 All the reports have options which allow much customization. Several reports (charts, graphs) can be printed in color. Repeat the steps in this lesson for some of the other reports. Remember, explore!
