Reports & Analytics Guide
Master Zion’s reporting capabilities - from daily centre reports to comprehensive weekly school analytics. This guide covers report generation, interpretation, and strategic use for school improvement.Reporting Overview
Two Main Report Types: Daily Centre Reports:- Scope: Single learning centre, single day
- Purpose: Document daily Goal Check performance for one centre
- Generated by: Supervisors or Administrators
- Frequency: End of each school day when all students marked
- Scope: Entire school, full week (Monday-Friday)
- Purpose: Comprehensive performance analysis across all centres
- Generated by: Administrators only
- Frequency: End of each week or as needed
Daily Centre Reports
When to Generate Daily Reports
Readiness Criteria:- ALL students in the centre must be marked for that day
- Readiness indicator shows: “Ready (25/25 students marked)”
- Typically generated at end of school day (3-4 PM)
- End of each school day: Generate for that day
- Next morning: Review yesterday’s report for patterns
- Weekly: Review all 5 daily reports together for trends

- Low variance spread (most students within ±2 pages)
- Few or no at-risk students
- ⚠️ Completion rate 50-70%
- ⚠️ Many students missed goals
- ⚠️ Wide variance (some +5, others -5)
- ⚠️ Growing at-risk list
- 🚨 Completion rate <50%
- 🚨 Majority missed goals
- 🚨 Consistent negative variance
- 🚨 Multiple students with 3+ consecutive misses
Using Daily Centre Reports

Monthly Workflow (Administrator)
Last Friday of Month (1 hour):- Generate all 4 weekly reports for the month

Best Practices
Report Generation Timing
DO:- Generate daily reports every day (creates consistency)
- Generate weekly reports every Friday (routine)
- Export reports immediately after generation (data is fresh)
- Save reports to organized folder structure
- Let daily reports pile up (generate weekly without daily data)
- Generate reports mid-day (data incomplete)
- Delete old reports (keep for historical reference)
Report Sharing
Daily Centre Reports:- Share with: Centre supervisor, administrator
- Frequency: Daily
- Method: Email PDF, shared drive folder
- Share with: All supervisors, leadership team, board
- Frequency: Weekly
- Method: Email PDF with summary insights, present in meetings
- Student-level data: Administrators and assigned supervisors only
- Aggregated data: Can share with broader stakeholders
- Follow data privacy laws and school policies
Report Archiving
Folder Structure:- Daily reports: 1 year minimum (ACE may require longer)
- Weekly reports: 3-5 years
- Annual summaries: Permanent
Troubleshooting
”Report Won’t Generate”
Daily Centre Report:- Check: All students marked? Readiness indicator shows “Ready”?
- Solution: Mark all students, refresh page, try again
- Check: Week range within active term? At least 3 days of data?
- Solution: Adjust date range, verify active term, ensure data exists
”Report Data Looks Wrong”
Possible Causes:- Wrong term selected
- Wrong date range
- Data entry errors (goals/actuals entered incorrectly)
- Verify term and dates
- Check source data (Goal Check entries)
- Regenerate report after corrections
”Report Generation Takes Forever”
Causes:- Large school (300+ students)
- Slow internet connection
- Server load
- Be patient (can take up to 2 minutes for very large schools)
- Try during off-peak hours
- Close other browser tabs
