# Teacher's guide to Completing Reports

### **Completing reports in GO 4 Schools**

### **Accessing reports**

When a set of reports has been generated that requires your input you may receive a notification via email, but you can always find reports that **require your input** from the **Teacher's** menu and **Reports** link.

The **Reports** page will display the year group reports. 

When clicking on a **year group**, the corresponding groups from the Report will be listed that require your input.

Click on the **group** to begin completing the report.

### **Writing reports**

Highlighted in pink will be the areas that require your input, in this case a report attribute and a written comment.  
Grades are all live from the markbooks.

Clicking on the attribute field will display the selection of attributes available to you.  
Please note this field may be populated with data you entered in your markbooks, your school should specify this.

If you have created **comment banks** (outlined below), or some have been shared with you, when you **click on the comment field** you will be presented with a drop-down field of those comment banks. Simply select the comment that applies to each student. If enabled, you will also be able to **enter free text**.

*We’d recommend regular saving of your work in case of network issues.*

### **Reviewing report input**

By selecting **Tutor view** you can select a student in your teaching group and view the comments from their other subject teachers. This functionality is designed to support writing an informed pastoral report on tutees.

When your reports are reviewed, they may be **flagged requiring attention** when an error is spotted. The reviewer may have also written a short comment to help you identify the error and then resolve it.

### **Creating Comment Banks**

Every member of staff can find the **Comment banks** under **Reports** from the **Teacher's** area.

This page that lists the comments that they have created themselves (their private comment banks) plus the comment banks that have been shared with them.

 

![comment banks 01](https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/euc-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/80048311883/original/Gf9wvCz-7CmYQxac1PI5CU0hkAtpRjbOlQ.png?1635416589)

Clicking the **Create a new comment bank** link takes you to the comment bank creator

![comment banks 02](https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/euc-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/80048311882/original/o5xwP6ig8p-iKU9oX7Y9OEWol9MWROzYlQ.png?1635416589)

In the editor, you can give the comment bank a **name** and choose which **year groups** the comment bank will be available on.

After clicking **Create**...

 

![comment banks 03](https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/euc-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/80048311880/original/vFDuYJymOu6MV0CH_fU1eXIh5fFtzZ0rew.png?1635416589)

The next step is to click on **Add comments to the comment bank that you were just working on**. This opens the comment bank editor.

![](https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/euc-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/80048322651/original/wvY7Fk4loIU45ahh37Kv4itRuvqUoGYwqg.png?1635418015)

Click on **Add comment** for each new comment that you want to add to the comment bank.

As shown, you can use a set of replacement terms in your comments. E.g. %firstname% is replaced with the student's first name when the comment is chosen from the comment bank by a teacher.

When you've added all of your comments, click **Save** to update the comment bank.

*You can review the contents of your comment bank at any time by choosing it from the comment bank list page.*

Once you have reviewed your comment bank and are ready to use it in your reports click **Add or remove staff members**.

![](https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/euc-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/80048325098/original/3avzlFuJK5JpYMXO_MaL_zNUWsKyuEDMJQ.png?1635418302)

Using the arrows to move staff members, you can control to whom this comment bank will be made available to when writing reports.

Click **Save** to complete the comment bank setup.

See **Writing reports** above in this article, for how comment banks are used
