Overview of the Search function

To access the Search function, click the SEARCH toggle so that it is highlighted blue.

First, you will need to select the relevant academic year from the drop-down menu. From here, you can select the data you would like to collate from the drop-down menus within the flowchart. 

You are able to select up to two year levels and grading levels.

Click Search when you are happy with the chosen data, and you will be taken to the results. 

The results will load the Achievement Standard Results data set first. You will need to collate and sort this data set. This will order the students on the Guttman chart according to their results.

You're able to export the data based on which section you are viewing by clicking Export Options.
