# Reports

## Main Report Page

In SIMnet, reports are saved report queries that will automatically update each time you view the report. There is no need to recreate the report every time you want an update. For example, if you create a class overview report, the report will automatically update with the latest lesson and exam results for your entire class every time you view the report.

### :writing\_hand: 1. Report Name

On the Main Report Page, the names of saved reports appear in alphabetical order. You can change the Name filter to display reports that contain a specific sequence of words, those that starts or end with a specific letter, those that do not contain a specific word, and so on.

### :card\_box: 2. Report Type

Next to each saved report, the report type is displayed. You can choose to filter the saved reports to have all reports of the same type appear grouped together. You can also change the filter so that only one type of report is displayed at a time. You can do so by changing the type filter to display reports that contain a specific sequence of words, those that starts or end with a specific letter, those that do not contain a specific word, and so on.

### :page\_with\_curl: 3. Actions Menu

From the Reports Actions Menu, you can **view** a selected report in the Course Manager in SimNet. This will display all of the information included in that report regarding the students, lessons, grades, exams, projects, and other associated assignments for the report. You can choose to **print** the report as a PDF or onto paper for your records. Some reports will have the option to **export as an Excel spreadsheet**, which you can save to your hard drive for your records. Lastly, if you have a duplicate report or a report that is no longer relevant, you can **delete** the report from the actions menu. This will initiate a pop-up to confirm that you really want to delete the report.
