Reading reports
Reports on Schoolwati all work the same way. This article covers the pattern. For each specific report, see its individual article.
Where to find reports
From the menu: Reports. Reports are grouped:
- Admissions — funnel, sources.
- Attendance — daily, monthly, watchlist, staff.
- Finance — collections, defaulters, expenses.
- Payroll — monthly, statutory.
- Academic — marks distribution, top performers, subject performance.
Filters
Most reports have:
- Date range — defaults to current term or month.
- Campus — defaults to the campus you're on (Institution Admins can pick "All").
- Program / class — narrow to one stream or class.
Drill-down
Click any number on a chart or any row in a table to open the underlying records.
Example: in the Defaulters report, click on a student row → opens that student's page with their unpaid invoices.
Export
Every report has an Export button. Choose:
- CSV — for spreadsheets and further analysis.
- PDF — for printing or sharing.
- Excel — formatted for management review.
The export uses whatever filter you have applied — so an exported CSV with "October" + "Grade 5-A" only contains data for October and Grade 5-A.
