Now in Arbor. A game changer for schools!
Hi there, Cara from Swyft Education here.
Today, I'm excited to talk about a fantastic new feature in Arbor's Management Information System (MIS) - Custom Report Cards. This new addition offers a level of personalisation and flexibility that can truly enhance your school's communication with students and parents.
What are Custom Report Cards?
Arbor's Custom Report Cards are a new feature that allows schools to create bespoke report cards tailored to their specific needs. This means you can include the exact information you want, presented in the way you want. For a detailed guide on how to create and send out these custom report cards, check out Arbor's support article here.
The Creation Process
Creating your custom report cards involves a few key steps:
Setting up a report in the Custom Report Writer.
Creating the Custom Report Card using the report you've set up.
Building the layout of the report card.
Adding students to the report card.
Sharing the Report Cards
Once your custom report cards are ready, you can share them with students and parents. Arbor provides options to send report cards by email, or through the Parent Portal or Student Portal. You can also download the report cards, either individually or in bulk.
Access and Permissions
To make use of this new feature, you'll need specific permissions.
'School: Report Card: Administer' permission: This allows you to create and manage custom report cards at the school level.
'Students: Report Card: Administer All/My Students' permission: This allows you to manage report cards for all students or just those you are linked to.
In addition to these, you'll also need permission to access all the fields included in the Custom Report Writer Report. This means you'll need the relevant 'Data Access' permissions for any fields you want to include in your report.
Remember, permissions in Arbor are usually managed by your school's Arbor Administrator. If you find you don't have the necessary permissions, you'll need to speak to them.
