Report Parameters Report parameters are options that you can select in order to refine the scope or applicability of your report. Combining your selections from the different parameters enables you to tailor the report output for your specific need or reporting period. A red asterisk displayed next to the parameter name indicates that the parameter is mandatory; therefore you must enter a value or make a selection for the parameter. Typical common parameters include: · Choice of school or district. · Applicable dates or date ranges (start and end date of report). · Choice of student by name.
