- Category Name, if using categories
- Selected Assessments, Question Groups, or Standards that make up the category
- Selected settings for linking to the category
Settings that cannot be changed in a field once it has been created are the following:
- Field Type (1) cannot be changed. if a new field type is needed, create a new field. Delete the incorrect one.
- Category Type (2) cannot be changed. If a new category type is needed, remove the old category and add a new one.
Any fields removed or deleted and have been placed on the Report Card layout, will need to be remapped. In addition if data has been previously entered and the field has been removed or deleted, data entered will be erased and removed from the report card.
