Edsby provides a powerful report card fill feature. The Field picker enables teachers to select any data-fillable field on the report card sheet, including drop-downs such as Learning Skills, and quickly fill it with the required information. Fill can target blank cells, all cells, and cells for selected students. It also supports replacing cell contents.

Comment Field

Teachers can choose to fill the comment fields of blank cells, all cells, or cells for selected students.

In this example, Beth Archer has typed a comment in the comment box of one of her students and would like to use the same comment for another student. With the cursor in the comment box, Click Fill.

To use a part of a comment,  Highlight the comment that will be used. Click Fill.

The Field drop-down will automatically be set to comment and the comment will be translated into standard Edsby comment mechanisms.

Select Fill Selected Students. The students in the class will be visible.

Select the students you wish to apply the existing comment to and click Fill.

The comment will be added to the report card sheet.

Teachers can follow this same procedure to fill All Cells or Blank Cells with an existing comment from the report card by highlighting the desired comment and selecting the appropriate option in the Fill window.

Grade Field

Teachers can choose to fill the Grade fields of blank cells, all cells, or cells for selected students.

In this example, Beth Archer would like to assign a grade of 85 to multiple students in her class. She will fill the grade field of one of her students with 85. Highlight the grade and click Fill.

The Field drop-down will automatically be set to Grade.

Select Fill Selected Students. The students in the class will be visible.

Select the students you wish to apply the same grade to and click Fill.

The grades will be added to the report card sheet.

Teachers can choose to apply the same grade to any blank grade cells in the report card by selecting Fill Blank Cells.

Teachers can also choose to apply the same grade to all students in the class, if desired, by selecting Fill All Cells.
