It would be ideal to see at a glance the status of proof-reading by Heads of Years at the final stage of a report cycle before printing/ publishing.

Allow for character limit advice and suggestions within the general comment section of the report template. There's a way of limiting the length of other report comments, so its an anomaly that you cannot do this here.

When you look at or print this report, it is neatly divided up by strong black lines. But their position makes no sense! the line is in between the name of the report author and the white/blue/green bar that tells you whether or not the reports ha...

The spell check routine should use the pupil data to check pupil names. Many teachers make mistakes when writing reports that are not picked up by the spell check or other members of staff. These can easily be caught by checking against the pupil ...

Apparently the Missing Reports tool is not set up to work with Assessment cycles, only with Report cycles. It would be really useful to be able to see which assessments are missing.

Once the report cycle opens it would be great if we could set up automatic email reminders for the teaching staff throughout the time the report is open i.e. send a reminder every few days. Whilst this can currently be done with the information ta...

When setting up report templates, you can mark comments as private. That flag can then be used in SSRS reports to hide the comment. (Where reports are published directly on the Portals/Apps, I believe this field is obeyed as well.) It would be gre...
