The Test Group Analysis view in Synergy allows the user to create test combinations that can be available to Teachers, Parents and Students.The combination of test(s) is solely dependent on what the district wants to make available. Example: Every district has students taking the MCA-III math test in grades 3-8 and grade 11. Some parts of these test parts appear in all grade versions (ex.

Synergy allows you to schedule jobs, and have those jobs generate a new job to run at a later date.  This happens on the ‘Advanced’ tab of most report interfaces.  The user has options to run the job once, daily, weekly or by month, and the report interface will change depending on the option you select.  There is a start time required and a start date/end date range that is required too (always recommend that you use an end date).  Most of the time Weekly is sele...
