# Creating Exam Print Templates (read time 4 minutes)

## Creating Exam Print Templates (read time 4 minutes)Creating templates to suit your requirements for the school’s term reports.

> We’ve recently updated our top menu navigation (July/August 2024). We’re currently updating our user guides to reflect these changes, so thank you for your patience while we work on this. The new menu is user-friendly, so you shouldn’t experience significant disruption. If you need help locating specific items in the new menu however, watch our quick videos for admin users [here](https://vsware.wistia.com/medias/isekqugfvf?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-99XHAvtzxcJKFQ7QDLy15ONvtyAB-isBlO-MAWC8wsK9tfBYLCq7uCuHKjR59jTrivjQFg), and for teachers [here](https://vsware.wistia.com/medias/sgw6j8shlr?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-99XHAvtzxcJKFQ7QDLy15ONvtyAB-isBlO-MAWC8wsK9tfBYLCq7uCuHKjR59jTrivjQFg).

 

Exam print templates are created in Microsoft word using a list of variables created by VSware, for example if the variable ${FullName} is used in the document, and then generated for a student it will put that student’s full name in place of the variable. A full list of variables is included at the end of this guide.

 

In VSware, you can generate the following reports:

**Term Report**

**CBA Report** ([Click here to read how to generate a CBA Report](https://support.vsware.ie/how-to-download-and-print-cba-reports?hsLang=en))

**Joint CBA and Term Report** 

 

1. **Generating a Term Report**
   
   Below is an example template with some VSware variables, including the Tutor and Year Head comments with absent and late count.
   
   **![](https://support.vsware.ie/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/uploads.intercomcdn.comio1869326217f407730a4f7faa841835beFile1487760239484.png)**

   Below is the same template that has been generated for a student with results entered.
   
   **![](https://support.vsware.ie/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/uploads.intercomcdn.comio186931859caab1f5e91183fee71df13bFile1487760149253.png)**

   A full list of variables is included at the end of the guide.
   
   ***Step one:*** When creating your template, it is best to use the generic template that will be in VSware for you already, you can then edit this to include your school header and any other information you need included. To access the generic template, you should go to Settings\> Exam Print Templates\> You will see existing templates that have been uploaded previously. When you click on a template it will then download and you can open it in Microsoft word to begin editing.
   
   ***Step two:*** When you are happy with the layout and content of your template you will need to save the document on your computer. You can do this by going to ‘File’ in Microsoft word and then ‘save as’. You can then select if you want it saved to a folder or the desktop, the name you give the file at this point will be the name it appears with in VSware.
   
   ***Step three:*** After the file has been saved you can then open VSware and go to Settings\> Exam Print Templates\> Actions on the top right corner and click Add doc, this will allow you to select the template you have saved and upload it to VSware.
   
   ***Step four:*** Once the template has been uploaded to VSware you can now use it to print reports for individual students or entire class groups. This can be done for an individual student by going to the personal page of that student and then to Actions on the top right corner\> Print Template\> a smaller window will then pop up where you select Term report\> Choose the exam you wish to print\> Choose the name of template you want to use, then click generate. It will then download at the bottom of your screen where you can open it and print from.
   
   **![](https://support.vsware.ie/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/uploads.intercomcdn.comio1812713035629bf4a545bb981466dcecFile1487074292213.png)**
   
   To print for an entire class group, you will need to go to the Classes tab and click View list on the class you would like to print for, then go to Actions in the top right corner and repeat the above steps. It will then generate the reports for all students in that class and can be printed.
2. **CBA Report ([Click here to read how to generate a CBA Report](https://support.vsware.ie/how-to-download-and-print-cba-reports?hsLang=en))**
3. **Generating a joint CBA and Term Report**

You can now generate a joint report that includes both CBA results and school exams on the same template. In order to do this, you must:

**a)** Use a specific template that is set up for this purpose. We have created a generic template that you may wish to alter to suit your own school's needs, this can be downloaded **[here](https://support.vsware.ie/hubfs/TermReport%20StateCBA%20Template.docx?hsLang=en).**

**b)** Ensure that any CBA you wish to appear on the report is published to parents.

 

To generate the joint CBA & Term Report:

Search for the specific student student \> 'Personal' \> 'Actions' \>  'Print Template' \> Generate 'Term Report' \> Select relevant term report i.e. Junior Cycle 2021 \> Select template to use for printing \> Generate.

Note: you can also generate this report for a group of students if you wish, but for the CBA results to generate, the students must of course have CBA results recorded on their profile. Therefore it wouldn't be advisable to use generate the report for 1st, 2nd and 3rd years in one go for example as 1st years wouldn't have any CBA records and that table on their report will be blank. 

Below is a rough idea of what your template might look like.
