Overview
In addition to a gridded weekly report, Planbook also offers a linear, daily report, that lets you choose a range of dates and courses and generate PDF, printed or emailed output.
Generating a Daily Report
The daily report is accessed from the Reports menu. To generate a daily report, please choose the Reports-->Daily Lesson Plan Report menu item. Once you choose this menu item, the main Planbook view will be replaced with a new view showing the generated report (as shown below).
Modifying the Daily Report
Changing the Range of Dates Displayed
Changing the Fields Displayed
You can choose to show any (or all) of the six text entry fields. If a field is selected to be shown, but a lesson does not have information entered into that field, the field will not be shown. You can also choose to show the Standards applied to a lesson, the keywords that a lesson has been tagged with, and the file/web link attachments.
Always Visible Fields
The lesson title and assignments are always visible in the daily report.
Modifying the Report Format
The Daily Report features a number of different font sizes for the different components of the report. The font size slider will adjust all the font sizes proportionally.
Adding a Header
You can change the font or font size of the report header by bringing up the Font panel using the keyboard shortcut command-T.
Sharing the Daily Report
Planbook offers three choices for sharing your Daily Report with peers, administrators or others.
- The Print button brings up the standard Mac OS print dialog and lets you print directly to any printer accessible from your computer.
- The Send as Email button generates a PDF of the currently visible report and opens a new Mail message with the PDF as an attachment. Apple's Mail application is the only supported Mail program.
- The Save as PDF button generates a PDF of the currently visible report and lets you choose a name and location for the file. This file can be attached to a non Apple Mail message, shared via USB drive or otherwise manipulated in the same manner as any other file on your computer.
Copying the Daily Report
In addition to the built in method for sharing, you can also select the text in the Daily Report and copy it into any application you choose (Apple Mail, Apple Page, MS Word, etc...). To copy the text into another application:
- Double click any word in the generated daily report.
- Use the keyboard shortcut command-a to select the entire text of the report.
- Use the keyboard shortcut command-c (or the Edit-->Copy menu item) to copy the text to the clipboard.
- Switch to the desired application and paste the text using command-v or the Edit-->Paste menu item.
Returning to Planning Mode
When you are done with the Daily Report, click the Return to Planning button to return to the editing mode you were using previously.
