Hi, I really found your chrome extension useful, thanks for making it.

Have you come across a tool that allows an isams user to 'complete' a number of reports at once without entering each one and clicking a button?

thanks

Hi @briggs1209 First of all - sorry for such a late reply! It has been a very busy term at school... As for your question, I am not sure I understand it fully, but I will try to answer as best I can. If you are asking about iSams Mark Books, then no, there is no way to 'complete' several of them at once. If your question is about iSams Reports (as in Reports Wizard module), then yes, it is possible. Your iSams admin can enable downloading and uploading of templates - this way a teacher can fill download an Excel file of the report template, fill it out in Excel (or Google Sheets) and then upload it back. iSams will automatically mark all individual students in the report template as 'complete' - no need to click a million buttons in iSams. Your iSams admin will have to configure the Reports module properly to allow templates, and set up all the reports in the system, before you can start using the templates. Templates do save a lot of clicking compared to online reports writing, but they are not fool-proof - someone at your school has to know well how it works and be ready to jump in and troubleshoot problems teachers may have. If your iSams admin is not sure how the templates work in Reports module, I suggest you contact iSams and schedule some training with them.

Hope this answers your question!

PS: Since your questions was not about GradesPaster issues, I will 'close' this issue now on GitHub.
