SCRIBE Help Desk

This tutorial details the student-level attachments report. For more information on the other levels of attachments reports, go to the Attachment Reports folder in the Help Desk. 

There are several new reports in SCRIBE that list attachment details like attachment name, file type and tags for the seven different levels at which you can attach documents. These new reports are an easy way to see where attachments have been uploaded, when, and what types of documents they are. 

Student Level Attachments Report

All attachment reports are in SCRIBE under the Reports tab. If you do not see the Attachment option, submit a Help Desk ticket so they can be added to your SCRIBE student. 

1. In SCRIBE, click Reports > Attachments > Student Level Attachments 
2. Select the Report Filters:
   1. Participants By Program(s): Check the box next to the Program(s) students are assigned to, if applicable. Only students assigned to the selected Program(s) that have attachments will be displayed in the report. 

Note: This checkbox pertains to Student Programs. All students assigned to the selected Program(s) that have attachments will be displayed in the report, regardless of whether their attachments have been associated with a program. To filter the attachments’ program(s), see Programs filter at the bottom of the report filter page (details below).

1. School Year(s): Select the school year(s) to display the schools that were active during those years. There may have been different schools active earlier in your grant cycle (e.g., middle schools) than schools active in the later years (e.g., high schools or post-secondary institutions). As you select different school year(s) you may see the School(s) displayed change.

Note: School Year(s) filter does not pertain to the school year during which the attachments were uploaded to SCRIBE. The report will display all attachments that have been attached at the school-level for whichever school(s) you select under School(s). To filter the attachments displayed on the report by the date they were attached in SCRIBE, use the Attachment Date filter (details below). 

1. School(s): Select which school(s) whose student-level attachments you would like displayed on the report. Only those schools that were active in SCRIBE during the School Year(s) selected will be available to select in the School(s) filter.

1. Grade Level(s): Select the grade level(s) of students whose attachments you would like displayed on the list. The grade level(s) will correspond to the selected School Year (for example, if the 2020-2021 School Year is selected and 8^th Grade Level is selected, any student with an attachment who was in 8^th grade in the 2020-2021 school year, who attended the selected school(s) will be displayed in the report).
2. Entry Code: If selected, only those students with the selected Entry Code(s) that have student-level attachments will be displayed in the report. 

1. Entry Date: If dates are entered, only students whose entry dates fall between the dates entered that have student-level attachments will be displayed in the report. 

1. Exit Code: If selected, only those students with the selected Exit Code(s) that have student-level attachments will be displayed in the report. 

1. Exit Date: If dates are entered, only students whose exit dates fall between the dates entered that have student-level attachments will be displayed in the report. 

1. Attachment Date: Select Custom from the dropdown menu and enter a custom date range. Only attachments that were attached at the student-level between the date range will be displayed on the report. 

Select Month from the dropdown menu. Then select the month and year from the dropdown 

menus that will appear. Only attachments that were attached at the student-level during the month selected will be displayed on the report.

If no Attachment Date is specified, the report will display all attachments that have ever been attached to student-level attachments. 

1. Attachment Types: Select which type(s) of files you would like displayed on the report.

If no Attachment Type is specified, the report will display all attachment types that have been attached to student-level attachments. 

1. Attachment Tags: Any student-level attachments that have been tagged with the selected tags will be displayed on the report. Tags are added when the file is uploaded to student-level attachments. You can check the tag boxes any time after the attachment is uploaded by editing the attachment. Find additional information about tags in Attachments on the Help Desk.

If no Attachment Tag is specified, the report will display all attachments that have been attached to student-level attachments, whether they have tags or not. 

1. Programs: Any student-level attachments that have been associated with the selected Program(s) will be displayed on the report. You can associate an attachment with the program when the file is uploaded to student-level attachments. You can associate the file to a program any time after the attachment is uploaded by editing the attachment. Find additional information about programs in Attachments on the Help Desk.

Note: The Programs filter is specific to whether the attachment has been associated with any program. This does not have anything to do with whether students are associated with any programs.

If no Program is specified, the report will display all attachments that have been attached to student-level attachments, whether they are associated with a program or not. 

1. Uploaded By: Select a person from the dropdown menu. Only attachments that were attached at the student-level by that person will be displayed on the report. 

If no Uploaded By person is specified, the report will display all attachment types that have been attached to student-level attachments. 

1. Report Format: Select EXCEL or PDF. Best practice is to run the report as an Excel file (spreadsheet) so you can sort, filter, rearrange, and otherwise manipulate the report if desired, whereas a PDF is a fixed file that cannot be edited. 

1. Click Generate Report.
