The Summary Report is the most detailed analytics view in Aprenta. It takes a single observation form and breaks down results for every element in that form -- showing data tables, charts, and trend lines that help principals, coaches, and district leaders understand observation patterns at a granular level.

If no form is selected, the report shows the message: "Select a form to view the summary report."

The Summary Report panel occupies the left nine columns of the page, with the filter panel on the right.

Form Selector -- A dropdown at the top-left of the report panel. Click it to search and select from your observation forms. Only forms that have been used for at least one observation will produce data.

Export Button -- An "Export" button with a PDF icon sits at the top-right of the report panel. See the Export section below.

Section Tabs -- If the selected form has multiple sections, a row of section tabs appears below the form selector. Click a section tab to scroll directly to that section's elements. The active tab updates automatically as you scroll through the report.

Once you select a form, the report renders every element from that form in order, grouped by section. Each element displays:

Each form element type has its own reporting format, tailored to the kind of data it collects. The table below summarizes what you see for each type.

Every element with charting displays a Total Observations row at the bottom of its data table, showing how many observations contributed to the statistics.

Chart tabs appear below the data table for each element. The available tabs depend on the element type (see the table above). Click a tab to switch views.

The default chart mode. Provides an at-a-glance overview of aggregated results for the element. For example:

Shows how results change over time. Use this to spot improvement, regression, or stability in observation data across reporting periods.

Trend charts include a time period selector that lets you group data by:

This is particularly useful for tracking progress during a school year. For example, if coaches are focused on improving student engagement, you can use the Trend view on a Likert Scale element like "Students are actively engaged in learning" to see whether scores improve from the fall semester to the spring.

Available for Multiple Choice and Counter elements. Displays results side-by-side for direct comparison across options or count items.

For Counter elements, this helps you compare different behaviors being tallied during observations. For example, if a counter tracks "Teacher Questions" and "Student Questions," the Comparison view shows both side-by-side so you can assess the balance of classroom discourse.

Available for Likert Scale, Rating Scale, Multiple Choice, Multiple Selection, Ranking, and Matrix Scale elements. Visualizes data density using color intensity -- darker shades indicate higher frequency or concentration.

Heatmaps include the same time period selector (Month, Quarter, Year) as the Trend view, and are especially useful for spotting patterns across many options or scale points over time. For example, on a Likert Scale element with five response options, the heatmap quickly reveals whether responses are clustering around "Often" and "Consistently" or spreading across the full range.

Available only for Text Input elements. Displays the most frequently used words from observer text responses, with more common words appearing larger. This provides a quick visual summary of qualitative feedback -- surfacing themes like "transitions," "engagement," or "pacing" without requiring you to read every individual response.

Matrix Scale elements combine multiple rows with a shared response type. In the Summary Report, each Matrix Scale element is analyzed according to its sub-type:

Each row of the matrix is analyzed within the context of the overall element, letting you compare how observers responded across related criteria. For example, a matrix that evaluates "Classroom Environment" with rows like "Room is organized," "Materials are accessible," and "Student work is displayed" shows results for each row within a unified view.

Likert Scale elements in Aprenta can be configured as either unipolar or bipolar, and the Summary Report displays metrics differently for each:

Counter elements produce the most detailed data table, with five statistical measures for each count item:

These statistics help you go beyond simple averages. For example, if coaches are counting student hand-raises, a high standard deviation might indicate that engagement varies significantly between classrooms -- a signal worth investigating further.

The filter panel on the right side of the page applies to the Summary Report. You can:

When filters are active, all chart data and table statistics update to reflect only the matching observations.

You can export the Summary Report for the currently selected form as a PDF document.

The exported PDF includes:

The PDF filename follows the format summary-report-YYYY-MM-DD.pdf.
