* you will see a list of your students, alongside their reports. A traffic light system indicates the status of each report:
 red - not started
 amber - in progress and saved
 green - completed
each square represents the status as it applies to the individuals who need to complete the various sections in each report. Reports with a red border on a pink background are overdue, a green border on pale grey are completed and those with a black border on a dark grey background indicates reports in the future which are not yet due.
