This applies to CTE but could also have implementations in K-12.

While it is possible to clone Standards Based Custom Report Cards and change the school year (Being able to do this automatically as part of the cloning processes at the end of the year would be great) if you are using an object in the report to limit the results that you see on the report you are bound to having to select those each year.

We are using Standards Gradebook Custom Report Card currently to show all tasks that a student has accomplished against and Academic Area. This works well when trying to see the overall progress towards the completion of the Program of Study but when you want to drill deeper into creating a task list for the individual career objectives you need to select which elements you want to see or not see on the report card. These individual items are tied to the specific year when the template was created regardless of having changed the school year in the main report options.

At present we have 216 Custom Report Cards that illustrate the level of progression towards completion of the career objectives but they do not filter any longer because the task elements are tied to the specific year they were added.

The problem of rectifying this is not just having to redo 216 templates but to select each and every element needed or not needed to be displayed. This is not a process that can be done every year!
I believe there are several ways we can go about handling this. One would be to have an area of reporting where we could list specific tasks/standards to be reported and saved as a template that is not year specific.

The second would be to have a display or report of each of the career objectives/standards groups with a percentage of completion indicator. This would help serve as motivation for the student to complete the few tasks/standards left to achieve the next objective.
