EdgeEX — Understanding the Course Options Summary Report

Use this page to learn about the contents of the Course Options Summary report. On this report, administrators can view all courses and sections in the district and what their course option values are. This allows you to easily compare sections or courses that deviate from what a school or district usually does for those values. For example, you can identify schools and sections that have different grade weight values than those set by the district, and so on. 

You can filter a district's information by course, implementation model, school and section. You can also set additional filters to view course option discrepancies by subject and primary teacher.

 Permission

By default, Administrator Reports are visible to district administrators. For school administrators and teachers to see the reports, the View District Reports permission must be enabled on the user account. Data in the Administrator Reports includes only the school or schools associated with the user's account.

The Course Options Summary Report provides information about EdgeEX courses only. Report data populates through an overnight sync and therefore is current through the previous day.
