Copy 

Select Application Users by clicking the checkmark to the left of their name and then selecting the blue Apply button. Then select Copy to Selected Users. A copy of the chart will appear in their saved ”My Charts” NOTE: A copied chart may not be edited by the recipient.

Share

The chart can be shared as editable or non-editable.  The recipient will receive the shared chart in their “My Charts” file in the Charts Application.  If the chart is shared as editable, the recipient can make changes to the chart's configuration.  These changes will also take effect in the original version.  No notification will alert the recipient that a chart was shared with them.

Schedule 

Within the application of the charts is the ability to schedule reports to be delivered to a specific user or a group of users.  The user receives an in-app and email notification to download the report(s) directly.  A chart can be scheduled for different occurrences to meet your needs.

First, confirm you are scheduling within the correct school year. Next, click a date on the calendar for your first delivery, then select the time. The application will allow you to select more than one date. Continue to click any other dates/times you may wish the report to be delivered.   When finished, click Save and Continue. 

Use the Add Recipient button to view the selector.  A new selector menu will appear at the bottom of the page. 

Select a Role (optional - Administrator, Teacher, Specialist, Employee, Student) and Type (optional - All, Filter, Select) from the drop-down menus. Once you have selected the intended recipient(s), click Save to save your chart scheduling.  If you would like to edit, delete or view the report, it can be found under My Charts.
