  • LEADS THAT NEVER STARTED REPORT: Use this report to ensure the accurate status of leads, examine reasons for failed starts and reengage with them.
  • GRADES NOT POSTED OR ENTERED REPORT: This report drives accuracy in SAP and student transcripts by showing assignments without a grade and gradebooks that have not been posted.
