All States: Enterprise Report Historical Grades Update

Historical Grades v3.0

  • Faster and more efficient reporting: The Historical Grades report has been optimized to improve the retrieval of school year, term, student race, and student code information, especially when working with large sets of historical grades.

  • New School Year selector: Choose one or more school years before running the report, or select All Years, making it easier to focus the report and reduce unnecessary results. The current school year is selected by default.

  • Clearer year and term information: A new Year/Term field combines the school year and reporting term into a single, easy-to-read value.

  • Improved built-in report views: Ready-to-use views organize historical grades by student, teacher, course and teacher, associated course details, associated section details, grade-exclusion flags, and change-log information.

  • Easier grade-record auditing: The dedicated Change Log view displays the stored-grade audit log in an easier-to-read format and highlights records that have been modified.

  • Updated PowerSchool Current Selection support: Students returned in the report can still be set as or added to the current PowerSchool selection using updated report integration.

  • Improved readability and exports: Report headers now wrap for easier viewing, field help is available throughout the report, and the print layout is optimized for a landscape display of historical-grade information.

All States: Enterprise Report: Contact Relationship Details Update

Contact Relationship Details v3.0

Version 3.0 is a major update to the Contact Relationship Details report, making it faster and more useful for reviewing and maintaining PowerSchool contact data.

  • Improved performance: The report query has been completely rewritten and optimized for better performance, particularly with large datasets.

  • More complete contact reporting: The report can now identify students without contacts as well as orphaned contact records that are no longer linked to any students.

  • Direct links to PowerSchool: Contact IDs and Student IDs/Numbers are now clickable, providing quick access to the corresponding Contact Management records in PowerSchool.

  • Easier-to-read relationship flags: Custody, Lives With, School Pickup, Emergency Contact, and Receives Mail are now available as compact checkmark columns, making relationships easier to scan.

  • New built-in reports for contact data cleanup and analysis help administrators quickly identify orphaned contacts with no linked students, contacts missing names, active contacts associated with inactive students, and compare contact addresses with student addresses.

  • Better contact analysis: A new associated-student count makes it easier to see how many students are linked to each contact and supports additional filtering and data-cleanup workflows.

  • More reliable results: Improved handling of contact phone, email, address, and relationship records helps prevent duplicate or inconsistent rows in the report.

  • Direct access to course records: Course Numbers are now clickable links that open the corresponding course record directly in PowerSchool in a new browser tab.
