How to generate and download progress reports for your candidates

When the same group of candidates has completed more than one national task, for example Year 2 Assessing Primary Writing last academic year and Year 3 Assessing Primary Writing this academic year, you will be able to match them across the tasks and generate progress reports for them.

First of all, go to the final task that the candidates participated in, and click the 'Refresh Task' button, to make sure that the results are up to date:

Then click the 'School Reports' menu:

Initially, our system automatically attempts to match the candidates from task to task. However, this will not necessarily correctly match every single case - for example if any candidate details were incorrect for one of the tasks, or if a candidate's name has been recorded differently between one task and another.

In order to add any missing matches, click the 'Match Candidates' tab and then the appropriate task's button below:

You will be presented with a panel that details the matches that have been made so far:

In the example above, with 2 tasks being matched together, wherever our system has matched a candidate across the 2 tasks, you will see the final column indicates Matches = 2. (It is worthwhile checking the individual matched rows, however, just to make sure those matches are all correct matches!)

Where a candidate has not been matched between the 2 tasks, you can see Matches = 1.

Normally this is because that candidate only took part in one, not both, of the tasks. But sometimes the system simply wasn't sufficiently confident to make that match.
