Reports

Aspen provides powerful reporting tools. The system comes with nearly 200 standard reports and, more importantly, the ability to customize these reports to suit your needs. Reports that are marked custom will never be overwritten during an upgrade. From the Reports side-tab, you can define new reports and customize existing reports by changing their details. State validation reports are also run here.

Make full use of system reports

For example, from the Student tab, Attendance side-tab, run the Attendance Letter and Attendance History reports. Administrators control which schools see which reports, and on which Report menus they appear.

Create a Quick Report

In Aspen, it's easy for users of all abilities to create their own custom report, known as a Quick Report. Select the fields and columns. Customize with sort orders, statistics, grouping, formatting, and an output type. Save your report and even share it with other users in your school or district.

Report data to the state

Aspen includes a framework for supporting state and federal reporting requirements. The system extracts data from the live database for state reports and can create a single extract for all schools in your district. As part of the implementation process, we will provide the necessary state and federal reports for you to submit to your state.

Use a dedicated report server

Aspen can be configured to run reports on a dedicated server. This option is useful for larger districts and offloads resource-intensive operations like state reporting exports, monthly attendance registers, and quarterly report cards to a separate computer. Such a configuration is transparent to users; they continue to access the application normally without suffering a performance loss.
