- The options you select as you move down the list of criteria. As you select options, subsequent fields with dependencies on those options may change. (Common fields that produce these changes include REPORT TYPE, LEVEL OF ANALYSIS, and DISPLAY OPTIONS.) When this happens, the page reloads to display new or adjusted fields.
To create an Interim Assessments report:
1. Open the Create a Report tab in the Reports Center by doing one of the following:
- If you are a Teacher, Administrator, or above, click the Reports menu at the top of the page at any point after signing in. Select Classic if provided a drop-down option.
