Filters
A filter uses criteria to precisely
select information based on a series of parameters. For example, you can use a
filter to select "only boys with a score of below 80 on the Geometry
Quiz."
You can create rules to determine which
students and tasks should be selected. Filters are available in Bulk Fill,
Reports, and Graphs.
On the screen where it is available, click Filter.
Click the Filter button below the Students or Tasks area.
You can create and use a filter for
students or for tasks, or for both students and tasks.
Select Show Students Whose or Show Tasks Whose.
Select the filter you want to use, and modify it using the drop-down
lists.
For example, if you want to see only the
students who were away with the flu, and if you had put the word "flu"
in their student score note, select Student score note contains and type the
word flu.
Or if you want to see the tasks that are
due on a certain date, select Due Date and use the drop-down lists to complete
the expression.
Click OK.
Continue with the procedure.
The Student Filter screen provides a
powerful means to select your students based on a combination of criteria. You
access the Student Filter screen from the Reports menu|Student Demographics. The
default setting is Show All Students, which results in no filters being applied.
To more precisely indicate the students
you want to include, select Show Students Whose: then select the desired
criteria.
Note that you can choose any number of
criteria to create an extremely focused search. For example, "display only
females with a spreadsheet grade less than 60% with a score less than 50% on the
Exam."
Click OK to select the students and
return to the previous screen.
If you select more than one checkbox, all
checked criteria must be met in order for a record to be included. For example,
if you select "Female" and spreadsheet grade ">50%", BOTH
of these pieces of information must be true for the student to be selected.
The Task Filter screen provides a
powerful means to select tasks based on a combination of criteria. The default
setting is Show All Tasks. This results in no filters being applied.
To more precisely indicate the tasks you
want to include, select Filters, choose Show Tasks Whose: then select your
desired criteria.
