Use Report Builder and export reports

6 min read Updated Sep 30, 2026

The Report Builder page is MarkTrack's workspace for running ready-made reports. It ships with a catalog of ready-made reports — attendance, grades, directory, Hifz, behavior, and billing — that you open, fine-tune with a few filters, and export as a clean PDF. There is nothing to set up: every report reads your live data, so the numbers are always current. This guide covers finding a report, customizing it, styling it, and saving it so you can re-run it later.

Reports can include one school or, when your account has access, all schools in the organization. Use the school and class filters shown for a report to narrow its results. School-scoped accounts only see the schools they can access.

Where to find it

In the left sidebar, click Report Builder. This tool is admin-only. If you don't see it, your account may not have the report builder enabled — contact your school owner.

Step 1 — Pick a report from the catalog

The Report Builder opens on a catalog listing available reports, grouped under tabs across the top: All, Attendance, Grades, Directory, Hifz, Behavior, Billing, and Profile. The Report Cards button in the page header opens its own workspace (covered in Generate and email report cards).

  1. Click a tab to narrow the list to one category, or stay on All.
  2. Or type into the Search reports box (top right) to filter by name, description, or category as you type — for example "absent", "balances", or "roster".
  3. Click a report row or its Run action to open it.

The report catalog: tabs and search on top, one row per report.

A few of the most-used reports, so you know what's in the box:

  • Attendance — Teacher Compliance (who's recording attendance), Daily Attendance, Student Summary, Chronic Absentees (students over the number of absences and tardies you choose), Below Threshold.
  • Grades — Class Grades, Class Averages, Failing Students (below 60%), Top Students, Distribution (A/B/C/D/F).
  • Directory — Student Directory, Parent Directory, Class Roster, Students by Grade Level, Teacher Workload, Missing Information.
  • Billing — Outstanding Balances, Family Summary, Payment History, Revenue Summary, Overdue Aging, and the seven reports from Billing › Reports with the same numbers: Revenue by Period, Deposits, Collection Rate, Aging Detail, Student Balances, Revenue by School, Revenue by Grade. Each Billing report has a Customize columns & download in Reports link that opens it here for the same school. Deposits covers the whole organization, so only admins who can see every school have it.
  • Hifz and Behavior — Hifz Progress, Inactive Students, Infraction Log, Repeat Offenders, Pending Follow-Up.

Step 2 — Choose report options

Select a report from the catalog to open its workspace. The report appears with inline controls for the filters that apply to it, such as a date range, class, or status. Change a control to refresh the results; reports without filters show their data directly. Use Back to reports to return to the catalog.

A report's available filters and results appear together in the workspace.

You may also see Ask for a report above the catalog. When available, describe the report you want; the tool can open a matching report and adjust its supported options. If the field is not shown, you can still select a report from the catalog.

Report controls depend on the report. Choose a date period, class, or other option when it is shown, then review the results. The selected school and academic-year context determine which records are included.

Step 3 — Download, print, or send

Use the actions above the report to choose how you want to use it:

  • Print opens your browser's print dialog.
  • Open Download, then choose PDF, Spreadsheet (CSV), or Spreadsheet (Excel).
  • For reports that show individual students and are eligible to share with families, Send to parents appears. Review the recipient list before sending.
The Student Directory report with the Download menu open to PDF, Spreadsheet (CSV), Spreadsheet (Excel), and Save to Your reports.
Download a PDF or spreadsheet, or print the report.

Step 4 — Save a report for later

To keep the selected report and its current options, open Download and choose Save to “Your reports”. The workspace confirms when the save is complete. Return to the catalog and open Saved to load a saved report or delete it from your list. Your reports appear in that menu under Your reports. Saved reports are personal to your account and school, and they use current data when opened.

The Your reports menu open in the Report Builder catalog, listing saved reports that can be reopened or deleted.
Open a saved report from Your reports.

That's the report builder

Choose a report, set its available options, then print, download, send when available, or save it. For the formal, per-student report cards that go home to families, see Generate and email report cards. Stuck on a number that looks off? Contact support.
