How come I see “Not Set” in some of the dashboard categories as well as in the Midterm Grades Output grid? What does this represent?

How come I see “Not Set” in some of the dashboard categories as well as in the Midterm Grades Output grid? What does this represent?

When you see “Not Set”, it means that there is no value for the student for that particular category.

For example, students studying at the graduate level do not have an Academic Level; as a result, you will see “Not Set” for those students in the Students by Year KPI (visual).

Another example is that not all students have a Student Attribute; as a result, if you elected to include Student Attribute on the Midterm Grades Output grid, you will see “Not Set” for those students.
