    Master the AI-powered report generation process from selecting criteria to refining your final comment.

    The Report Generation Process

    ReportRocket generates personalised report comments based on curriculum criteria you select and any custom notes you provide about the student.

    Step 1: Select a Student

    From your class page, click on a student to open their report editor.

    Step 2: Choose Subject and Criteria

    Expand Subject Sections

    Click on subjects (English, Mathematics, etc.) to reveal their categories and criteria.

    Select Criteria

    Tick the criteria that apply to this student's achievement. Each criterion has proficiency levels:

    • High – Above expected standard
    • Medium – At expected standard
    • Low – Working towards expected standard

    How Many Criteria?

    Select as many or as few as relevant. Your selections are woven into a cohesive paragraph.

    Step 3: Add Custom Notes (Optional)

    The Notes field is powerful. Add specific observations like:

    • "Loves reading fantasy books"
    • "Struggled with fractions but improved after term 2"
    • "Natural leader during group work"
    • "Needs reminding to show working in maths"

    These are incorporated naturally into the comment.

    Step 4: Generate the Comment

    Click Generate Comment. Within seconds, you'll see a personalised, curriculum-aligned comment.

    Step 5: Review and Refine

    Read the Comment

    Check that it accurately reflects your selections and notes.

    Refine if Needed

    Click Refine to request adjustments. You can request to:

    • Make it longer or shorter
    • Emphasise different achievements
    • Adjust the tone
    • Add or remove specific mentions

    Edit Directly

    You can also edit the text directly in the editor.

    Step 6: Save

    Your comment saves automatically as you work. The student's card shows "Complete" when finished.

    Tips for Great Comments

    1. Be specific in notes – "Improved in reading" is less useful than "Moved from level 18 to 22 readers"
    2. Select relevant criteria only – Don't tick everything; focus on what you're reporting
    3. Use refine for tweaks – Faster than regenerating from scratch
    4. Review before moving on – Each comment should feel personal to that student
