Live Reporting

Live Reporting lets your school publish achievement results and NCEA result notifications directly to caregivers through the edge mobile app, rather than waiting for a printed or published end-of-term report. Staff configure which assessments and year levels are shared on a single Configure and Publish page, and caregivers receive a mobile push notification whenever results are published. Live Reporting must be enabled for your school — contact support if you don't see it in your menu.

Before you start

• Live Reporting is found under Reports > Live Reporting > Configure and Publish. You need the Manage Student Reports permission to open the page.
• Assessment types must be enabled from Achievement > Assessment > Achievement > Assessment Configuration > Setup of Assessments before they are available for live reporting. Assessments your school has not set up appear greyed out on the configuration page.
• Caregivers receive results and notifications through the edge mobile app, not the caregiver web portal.

Configure live assessment reporting

The Live Reporting Configuration page is split into two sections. The first, Live Reporting of Achievement Summary, controls standardised and curriculum assessment results.

1. Go to Reports > Live Reporting > Configure and Publish.
2. Tick Enable Live Assessment Reporting. Until this is ticked, the whole section is greyed out.
3. Use the learning-area tabs — English, Mathematics, Science, Arts, P.E. & Health, Soc Sci, Languages and Technology — to find each assessment you want to report on. Assessments are grouped within each tab (for example English contains Reading, Writing, Spelling, Listening, School Entry and Curriculum – English groups).
4. For each assessment, tick the year level columns (Y1 to Y13+) you want to publish, or tick All. A Select/unselect all row is available when more than one assessment is in use.
5. Choose how each assessment is published:

• Publish now — publish a one-off snapshot of results when you click the Publish Now button.
• Auto publish on data change — automatically publish whenever results change. These two options are mutually exclusive for an assessment.

1. Optionally tick Include notes, and Include previous year's notes if you also want earlier notes shared. Notes options are only available when the assessment is set to publish.
2. Click Save Config to store your settings. You'll see a confirmation that the reporting configuration saved successfully.

Publish results now

1. Select the learning-area tab containing the assessments you want to publish. Only assessments in the currently selected tab are published.
2. Make sure each assessment has year levels ticked and Publish now selected — the Publish Now button is only enabled once at least one assessment qualifies.
3. Click Publish Now. A confirmation dialog lists the assessments and year levels that will be published — click Yes to continue.
4. The publish runs as a background job: you'll see a message that the job has been put into the queue, and you are notified when it completes. Caregivers of the affected students then receive a push notification (for example "Student name – New Achievement Results").

NCEA assessment notifications

The second section, NCEA Assessment Notifications, only appears for schools with year levels 9 and above.

1. Tick Enable NCEA Notifications.
2. Choose which notifications to send: Progress Result Notifications and/or NCEA Result Notifications.
3. Choose Send notifications now or Auto notify on data change, and optionally Include notes / Include previous year's notes.
4. Click Notify Now to send immediately — a confirmation dialog asks you to confirm notification of NCEA results — or Save Config to store the automatic settings.

Caregivers receive an NCEA push notification such as "Student name – New NCEA Results".

How the options fit together

Publishing is per assessment and per year level — there is no per-class setting. Only students currently enrolled at the school in the selected year levels are included.
