Make is easier to exclude children from reports
When a school has alot of mobility they need an easy way to exclude particular children from a report. Sometimes using entry date works well but for children that leave and come back, this is not useful as the original admission date is recorded in Sonar, rather than the restored date.
In OTRack and TT there is an easy quick way to filter a report and exclude 3/4 pupils (and swap selection is useful here too).10 votesMoved to Under Review.

Should be able to amend user email addresses / resend invitation email
Being able to edit the address directly would save time. Also having the option to resend the invitation email rather than asking the user to go through the 'forgot password' route.

Pupil Assessment History View
We're a school moving from INSIGHT. One of the things that we find invaluable on INSIGHT is the assessment view of a child, where you can see all the summative assessments of subjects as well as test scores and the % secured to date of formative objectives for each year on one page. It would be great to get this in SONAR as it is a great, easy to glance at history of assessment of pupils throughout the year.

Highlight pupil names in reports
The ability to highlight pupils' names to identify them as (for example) PP, EAL, SEN etc.
This provides a quick and clear way to show how these key groups are distributed across attainment and progress tables. It is particularly effective when used without names for governors' reports.
We have this function in Target Tracker where names can be in bold, underlined or in italics.9 votes -
Edit Summary View
In Target Tracker, it was an option to edit wha tyou want to see in the summary view. At the minute there is a lot of informaiton and it would be good to select which to get rid of (For example, we dont need to see any of the 'NOT' categories.
Also the Sig below and Sig Above columns are empty - so it would be good to get rid of those.

Data Entry Check Report
As a senior leader I would like a report that tells me which staff have yet to complete their assessments for the term. This would need to take into account pre-filled Effective Assessment entries.

EYFS Report Improvements
To be able to print the summative report so that all the areas of learning are along the top columns and the children's names are down the first column. This would allow practitioners to track pupils' GLD more easily.
AT the moment only the first five areas are shown on the PDF8 votesMoved to Under Review.

Alphabetical surnames Reports
Ability to sort by surname not forename in reports. I am so surprised this functionality is not already there. In order of forename is simply not practical in year groups with 90 children. There is not even the workaround to export to excel as it is PDF only.

Prior attainment filter
To be able to filter pupils based on prior statutory attainment. For example to be able to filter by which children achieved GLD, passed the Phonics check etc.
It is useful for schools to be able to track these key groups through the school.
This can only be done currently by making a pupil group which is static and time-consuming to create and manage.8 votesMoved to Under Review.

Undo function for accidental data entry
When you have flood filled, particularly formative data, if you have made a mistake it would be useful to be able to 'undo' this and put the assessment back to how it was.

Give an indication of whether a CTF uploaded is successful or not
Schools often leave the import process not knowing whether this was successful and have no indication that it wasn't, leaving them to call us later frustrated as they feel they have already imported it and weren't made aware of an issue.

Report percentages of set targets
Dissapointed to see that there was no way to see the parcentage of children target at the end of summer for different attainment levels. For instance, as we now set targets at the start of the year, I really could do with seeing what percentage of children have been targetted for B,JA,A etc at different cohort levels such as class, year group, key stage etc.

Bring end of year judgements over as baseline judgement for following year
As this is a point in time tracker, it would be good if judgements carried over to the beginning of the year from the end of the previous year. An expected child remains expected so the code could carry over. I now have all year groups below expectations and teachers would have to re-enter data. This work load could be reduced by bringing grades over as a baseline.

Usage Data
To ensure that time spent using Sonar is purposeful and useful, I want to be able to see how much time my staff are spending Sonar and what they are doing so that I can assess whether this is time well spent.

Baseline data
There needs to be the facility to add baseline data for Reception and nursery children at the start of the year. We assess whether they are ready for the curriulum that yr group delivers so use the codes from the year before. There is no facility to change expectations for colour coding at the start of the year so all these children show up red even though some of them would be ready to start Preschool or Reception. Otrack had this function but Sonartracker doesn't.
