Running eligibility

Running eligibility

Good morning,

I work with the athletic department and I am needing a way to be able to run eligibility for a specified group that I place in under "Activities: Fall Sports" right now it is running the whole school with failing grades and I just need the specified student-athletes that I have placed under that specific category.

 

Is there any way you can help me with this?

You can search for the students in your activity by searching

 

[field name]=1

 

You can then run your report for the selection instead of the whole school.

Our school is new to Powerschool, but I created a "Stored Selection" of the students on the team (on the start page), then I run progress reports for the team using the Special Functions option.  This may be a roundabout way to do it, but it is working!

I get exactly what you’re trying to do, and honestly running eligibility for the entire school when you only need a specific group can be really frustrating. If your system allows filtering by activity categories like “Fall Sports,” there should be a way to narrow reports to just those tagged student-athletes instead of pulling everyone with failing grades. It might be worth checking if there’s a custom report or grouping filter option, similar to how tools like sportzfy app keep things focused on selected players or teams rather than the full roster. If that feature isn’t obvious, your system admin or support team may need to enable or guide you to the right filter setup so you’re only tracking the athletes you’ve assigned.

I completely understand what you're attempting to accomplish, and it may be rather annoying to run eligibility for the entire school when you only need a particular group. There should be a mechanism to limit reporting to those student-athletes who have been tagged, rather than pulling all those who have failing grades, if your system permits filtering by activity categories like "Fall Sports." Similar to how apps like the Sportzfy app keep things focused on specific players or teams rather than the entire roster, it could be worthwhile to see if there is a custom report or grouping filter option. Your system administrator or support staff may need to enable or direct you to the proper filter configuration if that function isn't immediately apparent so you're just monitoring the athletes you've designated.
