Reports in Detail

Reports in HTML, CSV, and PDF format can be accessed through the Reports and Directories menu on the main toolbar. Each selection you make determines the next set of selections that are applicable. Some options control data selection; others control data sorting. For all but the Texas School Directories, the Crystal Reports toolbar then allows you to select an output format other than HTML, if desired, for an export (or download) file. The Texas School Directories are published as PDF files.

The top-level options available on the Reports and Directories menu include:

Reports

Reports are organized into categories and subcategories as listed below.

School Reports (Includes charters)

District Reports (Includes charters)

Multipage Reports

Multipage reports feature a numbering system that assists in navigating the report. When you print or export a multipage report, the system prompts you to specify the desired pages.

For a plain Excel rows-and-columns export, select Data Only Formatted for Export from the Report Type list, then select the Microsoft Excel (97-2003) Data-Only option in the Export dialog. The Formatted Report option in the Report Type list produces output in Excel that visually resembles the HTML report that appears as soon as you click Run Report.
