Tool Search: Report Comments
The Report Comments tool provides schools and districts a way to include specific comments on printed versions of student Report Cards, Transcripts, and eTranscripts. These comments could indicate state requirements that must be included on all transcripts, or a graduation requirement regarding GPA guidelines on report cards.
If a report comment is marked active for a student's transcript, it is also active on the student's eTranscript. There is no separate option for adding a comment to an eTranscript report.

See the Report Comments Tool Rights article for information about rights needed to use this tool.
Only report comments marked as Active on the Report Comments tool are available for selection on the student's Report Comments tool.
There is no limit to the number of comments that can be chosen to appear on a report. It is advised that the number of comments be limited to only those that are necessary, as these comments will affect the display of the report and may alter the page length and the layout of the report.
Required Setup
Before selecting report comments for a student and before a comment appears on a report, the following must be done:
- Create desired comments to appear on reports in the Report Comments tool in System Administration.
- Mark the Report Comment option on the Report Preferences.
