Generating a Query Report
Step 1: Enter the Analytics module.
Step 2: Select Reports.
Step 3: Select the Query tile.
Step 4: Give your query a title.
➡️ Query Population
Step 5: Select your population by defining your cohort. Once at least one value is selected in a single Population category, you'll be able to toggle on "Exclude" for that category, excluding anything within the values you set for the category.
➡️ Query Criteria
Step 6: Determine the Criteria. This can be single criterion or multiple criteria.
Adding Multiple Criteria
If you choose to add more than one criterion, you'll want to choose between And and Or.
And - students have to meet both (all) criteria set.
Or - students have to meet at least one of the criteria.
As you adjust your criteria, it will calculate the number of students that have populated in the query in the upper-right corner
➡️ Matrix Values
Step 7 (optional): Add a Matrix Value. By toggling on the matrix value, a point value, chosen by you, will be awarded to the students who meet these specific criteria.
Step 8: When you have completed the steps above, select Run Report.
