Report Basics
eLearning:
When generating reports, always work from top to bottom and left to right.
Scope
The tabs across the top of the report sections allow you to generate reports by the District, Campus, Teacher, Class or Student. You can also use the Search tab after first creating a custom search query or utilize previously created student groups on the Groups tab.
The level of login you have in DMAC (Admin/Manager/User/Teacher) determines what tabs and sections you have access to in State Assessment.
Source
The Source determines which students are included in the reports.
Admin - Displays all students who were at the location when the test was administered (district and campus tab).
Snapshot - Displays assessed students at the location for fall snapshot (district and campus tabs).
Current - Displays data for students currently enrolled (Campus/Teacher/Class and Student tabs).
Archive - view archived/historical data based on the last saved Class Roster file for the selected year (Teacher/Campus/Class and Student tab for administrative logins only).
Demographics
Selections in the Demographics area are only needed if the report you are generating has Demographic in the title. If you do not individually check options from the list or select a predetermined set from the Group or Race drop-down, only the default of All Students appears on reports.
Group - Includes Ethnicity, Accountability and Equity
Race - The state reports a Race Reporting Code as well as individual Race Codes.

Available Reports
Additional reports are available when you select the Teacher, Class, Student, Search and Group tabs because they have reports that list individual student names. These are not available on the District and Campus tabs.
Teacher Reports
District or Campus logins may select one or multiple teachers at a time when generating reports.
Teacher logins can only access their current students (based on the most recent class roster file).
Teachers listed in State Assessment are currently assigned students who have taken the selected test (also based on the class roster data file uploaded to DMAC).
Options and Format
Select any report options after checking the reports you wish to generate.
When generating a report, keep HTML selected for added drill-down capabilities with student reports. Anytime you see a student’s name underlined, click it to open their individual test results.
Other Tips
Make sure to select all of the drop-down options before generating reports.
Tests are identified by: administration month/year/subject/ grade/language/version (S - Scored, A - Accommodated, L - LAT, T - Alt 2).
