Students in Separate Setting
We wanted a way to periodically check which students were classified as being in a separate setting. This includes all students in all other settings: Separate School, Residential, Home/Hospital.
As with all of these reports, they identify irregularities within parameters. This parameter is rather large so most students listed on this report are exactly where they are supposed to be. However, as these students represent students receiving higher level of care in unique settings, they are worth reviewing periodically.
Here is how the final report is constructed
Here's a what the Results Objects and Query Filter looks like:
Remember, after creating the initial report, all editing of a report happens in the Design window. This button is found in the upper-right hand corner of the SAP window.
The difference between useful to usable is in the design and formatting.
Advanced Input Controls
Add Input Controls on Case Manager to allow for removal of/focus on critical sub-populations.
The settings are a little different for this one. I wanted to exclude any separate settings from showing on the report.
Refresh on Open
In Properties -> Document, set the report to Refresh on Open.
Add a footer with "="This report was generated on: " + LastExecutionDate()"
Manage Breaks
For this report, one school per page. Organized by School.
Plan breaks and sorts to match grain size of distribution or remediation.
Add School Name to Title
I like having the school's name in the title.
="Separate Setting (Separate School, Residential, or Home/Hospital) from " + [School Name]
