Configure the Quick Charts widget

The Quick Charts widget lets you run saved Quick Charts on a Page.

Note: The Page administrator can edit a Page to add, configure or delete the Quick Charts widget. Members associated with a Page can view the Quick Chart widgets on it. This widget is not available in the Student and Family portals.

Data displayed in the Quick Charts widget is scoped to the view in which it is run.

Example: A district administrator creates (and saves) a district-owned Quick Chart to review student assessment data. Then, she uses the Quick Charts widget to place it on a Page accessible by school administrators. When a school administrator loads the Quick Charts widget in the School view, only records associated with the school–not the entire district–appear on the chart.

To configure the Quick Charts widget:

  1. From any view (except Student and Family), click Pages, and then select a Page that you administer.
  2. Add a Quick Charts widget to the Page. The Quick Charts widget appears:
  1. At Saved chart, click Search icon.. The Report Wizard Pick List appears:

  1. Click the Filter drop-down to select a filter. The drop-down displays the default filters for the list page associated with the saved Quick Chart you selected, and the view you are in.
  1. Click Save. The Quick Chart name and the selected filter appear in the widget header. Select Click to load Quick Chart to display the chart.
  2. Do any of the following:
    • To refresh the Quick Chart data, click .
