Real Fast Reports - User Guide
Can I reuse comment banks?
Yes. Click the "Import" icon at the top right of the comment bank.
If you have more than one class, a list will appear at the bottom of the popup where you can choose which other comment banks to use.
This way you can easily reuse comments between classes of the same subject and level.
Can I import comments from outside of Real Fast Reports?
Yes, click the "Import" button at the top right of the comment bank. There are two ways to import.
If you have ready-prepared statements then you can import them as-is.
You can also enter old school reports you have previously written. We will use AI to extract re-usable comments from them.
There is a character limit on each import, but you can import as many times as you like for each class.
Can I delete comments from the comment bank?
Yes - when you hover over a comment a red cross will appear.
Click the red cross and then confirm to delete the comment.
Can I paste in students' names?
Yes, you can paste in names directly from a spreadsheet. There is no need to add more rows before you paste - they will be added automatically.
You can paste names in any format (e.g. just the first name, or first name then surname, or surname comma first name).
You can also paste in genders and even comments too if you have them in a spreadsheet.
Can I import all class lists in one go?
Bulk import of class lists is available for school customers.
You can import the names and genders of all students and all classes, saving teachers even more time.
We can also bulk export completed reports to be imported back into your MIS.
For more info see our schools page.
Can I export the reports to a spreadsheet?
Yes. When you have generated two or more reports a "Copy All" button will appear at the bottom of the page.
Click this button to copy all the completed reports. You can then paste them all directly into a spreadsheet.
What is the "Gender" used for?
You have to enter the gender of each student as F, M or X.
This determines which gender pronouns our system will use when generating a report for the student.
F will use she/her, M will use he/him, and X will use they/them. We do not currently support any other pronoun options.
How do I change the word/character limit?
Click on the help icon next to the word/character count.
In the popup you will see a link to change the length.
If your school has set the length of reports for you then you cannot change it.
Can I add rules to the Report Checker?
We automatically check all reports and highlight basic errors (e.g. wrong student name).
School customers can add additional rules to check for (e.g. particular spelling, abbreviation or capitalisation rules).
This reduces errors dramatically, speeding up the proofreading and correction process.
This feature is only available to school customers. For more info contact us on [email protected].
