Datawise+STAR+Report+Generation+Tips

Datawise/STAR Report Generation Tips I like to find out which students got proficient or advanced from the last school year in Datawise. I've had some difficulty in producing the report in the past, but Jayna Lovo helped me nailed down the details today. Here is my step by step procedure:
 * After entering MEASURES via Zangle, I click on Extended Reports and then New Performance Explorer (a similar result can be achieved by clicking on CST Math Scaled or CST ELA Scaled on the MEASURES front page)
 * Then, you must choose the appropriate Roster. For Fall 2010, choose 12-20-10. For Spring 2011, choose 06-07-11.
 * Click on the "customize" link to customize your "student set." Choose school, "Newbury Park." For teacher, choose your name. Then for Class / Period, choose the subject and period of interest. Finally, click on "Work with these students now."
 * For Test Set, select CST Math Scaled 10/11 - (admin, a)
 * You'll see Simple and Advanced options below and to the left, choose Advanced
 * Make sure Group By says "Test Description" and the next field should be changed to "select field"
 * Click the Analyze button
 * When the report information becomes visible at the bottom of the page, select Excel under Score Performance Levels (if you want to work with the data in Excel)
 * Finally, click on the number under Score Count for all students or one of the numbers under Score Performance Levels if you want data for just one performance level (like Proficient).
 * Hope this helps somebody else!
