Playground offers flexible reporting tools to help you access and manage student information, including health-related data such as allergies or medical details. This guide explains how to use both built-in reports and custom reports to retrieve the information you need.
Overview of the Reports Feature
The Reports tab in Playground is a powerful tool that allows you to create or access both standardized and customizable reports. These features enable you to retrieve specific details from student profiles, including custom fields or responses collected via forms.
Accessing Pre-Built Reports
Playground includes a built-in "Allergies and Medications" report that can be used to quickly view the list of students and their associated medical information. To use this report:
Navigate to the Reports tab in the application.
Locate the pre-built report titled "Allergies and Medications."
Click to generate and view the report, which automatically retrieves the relevant data from student profiles.
Creating Custom Reports
If you need to generate a report with specific fields not covered in the pre-built options, such as custom medical information or form-based data, you can create a custom report. Here’s how:
Navigate to the Reports Tab: Begin by accessing the Reports section at the center level in Playground.
Select "Custom Reports": Choose the option to create a new report.
Add Custom Fields or Form Answers: - Incorporate custom fields added to student accounts. - Include relevant form-based responses by selecting appropriate form entries.
This custom approach allows for maximum flexibility, letting you tailor reports to include exactly the data points you need.
Limitations and Recommendations
While Playground's reporting features cover a wide variety of use cases, some highly specific reporting needs may require further customization. For such instances, consider reaching out to support for guidance or additional tools to extend the reporting functionality.
