Step 1
Choose a report template
Templates define columns, charts, benchmarks and wording. They do not contain your current data.
Step 2
Add current report data
Upload a Word, Excel or CSV table, or begin with an empty row.
Choose your current data fileDOCX, XLSX, XLS or CSV
Select one visible row, then choose Use this column.
Step 3
Review data and settings
Confirm rows and chart settings before generating.
Report typeOne class, individual students, growth, or several classes
Multi-class growth settingsAssessment timeline, classes and chart style

Assessment timeline
Listed oldest first. Every class is compared at the same points in the year.
Classes
Add at least one more class. Each class needs results from at least two assessments.
Growth analysis settingsAssessments, tracked students and notes
Add each assessment from the year. The data you already imported is the first one. Students are matched across assessments by name.
Assessments
Listed oldest first. Growth is measured from the first assessment to the last.
Add another assessmentMust use the same template columns as the data above
Notes about individual students (optional)
Multi-class comparison settingsClasses, report style and chart direction
The data already imported is the first class. Add other classes using the same assessment template.
Visual comparison uses wide category tables and proportional bars for fast scanning.
Classes
Add at least one more class. Row order and student names can differ between classes.
Add another classColumns will be matched to the current assessment template
Individual report settingsWho is included, how scores are shown, comparisons
Header bar figures
Choose the key numbers shown in the bar at the top of each student’s page.
Notes about individual students (optional)
Report wordingSection headings, opening and closing text

How to use Report Studio
Your class list becomes a finished Word report in four steps.
No formulas, no formatting, no fighting with tables. Upload the marks you already keep, choose what the report should say, and download a document you can print, email or file the same minute.
- Word, Excel or CSV in
- Editable .docx out
- Your data stays on this computer
- 1TemplatePick the format for this assessment

Choose the right shape
Four kinds of report, one set of data
The same imported table can produce any of these. You choose in step 3, so you can generate several from one upload.
Class report
The whole class on one sheet: a summary bar of headline figures, the full results table with every value coloured against its target, your notes, and the charts you choose.
- Best for staff meetings and record keeping
- Needs one assessment file
Individual student reports
One page per student with a progress bar for every category, the benchmark and class-average lines, strengths, focus areas and your private note about that child.
- Best for parent‑teacher meetings
- Needs one assessment file
Growth analysis
Add each assessment from the year and the report shows the trajectory per category, who improved, who slipped, and how many targets are now met — for the class and for each student.
- Best for mid‑year and end‑of‑year review
- Needs two or more assessment files
Multi‑class comparison
Several classes side by side, with class profiles, strengths, priorities and target attainment. Three finished styles: visual comparison, detailed executive analysis, or a chart dashboard.
- Best for grade heads and leadership
- Needs one file per class
Every category keeps its own units and its own direction. Seconds stay seconds, percentages stay percentages, and “fewer mistakes is better” is respected everywhere. Report Studio never invents an overall score or a class rank.
Walkthrough
Step by step, with the buttons marked
Numbered rings in the pictures match the numbered instructions beside them.
1
Choose a template
A template remembers the columns, targets, charts and wording for one kind of assessment. It never holds your marks, so the same template is reused every term.
- New Report in the sidebar opens the workflow.
- Press Use Template on the card that matches your assessment.
- Nothing fits yet? Create template builds one from a sample file — see saving templates.
The template you used last time is remembered, so returning users usually land straight on step 2.
2
Add this term’s data
Bring in the file you already keep. Word tables, Excel sheets and CSV exports all work, and headings do not have to match the template exactly.
- Choose File and select your .docx, .xlsx, .xls or .csv.
- Press Import data. Columns are matched to the template automatically.
- If asked, pick the column that holds student names and confirm.
- No file at all? Enter data manually starts you with an empty row.
Summary rows such as “Avg. Nov. ’25” at the bottom of a sheet are recognised and left out of the class statistics.
3
Review the data and decide what the report says
Everything imported appears in an editable table. Fix a typo straight in the cell, untick a student who was absent, then work down the panels underneath.
- Correct any value by typing straight into the cell.
- Untick a student to leave them out of this report.
- Add row inserts a late arrival or a re‑test.
- Then work down the panels underneath — they are covered next.
Report type
Pick class, individual, growth or multi‑class. Choosing growth or multi‑class reveals an extra panel where you add the other assessments or classes — one upload each, same template.
Benchmarks
Give any column a target and say whether higher or lower is better. Results that miss print red, results that meet print green, and growth reports use the same direction to decide what counts as progress.
Charts
Press Suggest charts for sensible picks, or Add chart and choose from fifteen styles — bars, distribution, heatmap, radar and more. Preview any chart before it goes in.
Wording
Turn written sections on or off, rename any heading, and add your own opening and closing paragraphs. The numbers, charts and targets never change — only how the report reads.
Summary bar and notes
Choose the headline figures printed across the top — students assessed, an average, how many met a target — and add a note that prints in a highlighted box under the table.
4
Generate the document
Last details, then the download. The file lands wherever your browser saves downloads and opens straight in Word.
- Fill in the school, class, report title and filename.
- Press Generate DOCX — or just hit Ctrl+Enter.
- Happy with the setup? Save as template keeps it for next term.
Want a second view of the same marks? Go back to step 3, switch the report type, and generate again. Your data stays loaded.
Do it once, reuse it forever
Creating and saving templates
A template is the memory of one assessment: its columns, targets, charts, headline figures and wording. Set it up once and every future term is upload → generate.
Save the report you just built
- Set up a report as usual through steps 1–3.
- On step 4 press Save as template.
- Name it — for example “Spring Kriah Assessment” — and save.
Columns, benchmarks, charts, summary figures, wording and report details are all captured. Your students’ marks are not.
Build one in the template editor
- Open Templates in the sidebar, then Create template.
- Name it and give it a default report title.
- Detect from sample reads the columns out of any old file — or add them by hand.
- Set each column’s type, target and direction, then add default charts and figures.
- Save template. It now appears on the home page and in step 1.
Where they liveTemplates are saved in this browser on this computer. Clearing site data removes them.
Share or back upIn the template library, export a Report Studio template (.rst) and import it on another machine.

Heading changed?If a term renames a column, importing still lines it up and re‑checks which column holds the names.
Worth knowing
Small things that save time
Ctrl+Enter generates
From step 4 you never have to reach for the mouse. Esc closes any dialog.
Dark and compact modes
The two buttons at the top right switch the theme and tighten the spacing. Your choice is remembered.
Let it suggest charts
Suggest charts reads your columns and proposes charts that actually suit the data. Keep the ones you like.
Informational columns
Set a column’s direction to neutral and it still prints, but it is never called a strength, a priority or a target.
Keep a column out of charts
Comments and reference codes can be excluded from charts while staying in the results table.
Growth needs matching names
Students are paired across assessments by name, so consistent spelling is all the linking you need to do.
Questions
If something looks unexpected
Where is my data sent?
Nowhere. Report Studio runs on this computer, builds the Word file locally, and hands it straight back to your browser.
Why is there no overall score or class rank?
Because the columns are not comparable: a percentage, a count of mistakes and a time in seconds cannot be averaged into one honest number. Each category is reported on its own terms instead.
A student is missing from my growth report
Growth needs a student in at least two assessments. Anyone appearing once is listed in the coverage panel on step 3 so you can check the spelling of the name.
A bar looks long but the result is poor
Bars always read from zero upwards, so a longer bar simply means a bigger number. Direction is carried by the colour, the “lower is better” label and the benchmark line.
The columns imported into the wrong places
Open the template editor and check the advanced import settings — the first and last heading rows and the first data row — then re‑import.
Can I edit the finished document?
Yes. The output is a normal .docx, so every table, heading and chart can be adjusted in Word before printing.
That is the whole program.
Pick a template, drop in this term’s marks, and let it write the report.
