Users can create a custom report by combining rows of data from different ad hoc reports into a single new report. The rows of data used for the custom report may come from different data sources such as student, assessment, staff or finance.
Creating a Custom Report
- First build an ad hoc report containing at least one piece of the data desired for the custom report.
- From the “Report Options” box, click Custom Report to On
- The “Add” button to the left of each row of data, is now displayed.
- Select the “Add” button to move/copy a single row of data to the custom report
- “User Report Wizard” box will display with the row in the Report Preview
Follow the steps below to insert the row of data into a custom report.
- Step 1 – Is this a new or existing custom report?
- If New, provide a Report Name
- As you type the report name, it will appear in the Report Preview below
- If Existing, select the report in the drop-down box
- Click ‘Next’
- If New, provide a Report Name
- Step 2 – Are you adding this row to a new or existing Column in the custom report?
- If New, provide a Column Label which will be the title for the column
- As you type the Column Label, it will appear in the Report Preview below
- If Existing, select the appropriate Column for the row to be inserted. (Use this to add the same type of data to an existing column, i.e. all of the grade level rows.)
- Click ‘Next’
- If New, provide a Column Label which will be the title for the column
- Step 3 – Row title will default to the row selected from the adhoc report, but it may be relabeled at this time, if desired.

Continue to add additional rows of data to the custom report from this adhoc report or create another ad-hoc report.
