Watchlists allow you to track and easily view key metrics for selected groups of students in Elevate K-12 Analytics. You can easily create a watchlist using Quick Start Templates, which automatically generate watchlists based on pre-selected criteria. After previewing a template-generated watchlist, you can modify the search criteria and the displayed columns as needed.
Alternatively, to create a watchlist without any pre-selected criteria, you can build your own watchlist. Learn more about creating a static, dynamic, or dynamic watchlist based on points.
