Note: Filters can be applied and removed at any time.

How to Filter the GL Data Dashboard

1. Click Insights and Reports on the Testwise home screen. This will display a number of reporting options.

Note: The filter pane can be minimised by clicking the arrow next to the 'Filters and Save Selections' heading.

6. You can use the Save or Load Bookmarks functions within the filter pane to either save the dashboard with the applied filters or to open a previous version of the dashboard.

Bookmarks allow you to save the current view of the report (page and filters applied, including Academic Year selected in Whole School View).
