# What each analytics view shows

> The five views on an assignment's Analytics tab, what each answers, and why one may be missing for you.

export const updated_0 = "19 September 2026"

export const page_0 = "/teachers/insights/analytics-views"

Five views, one assignment. Two of them need at least three graded submissions, and one exists only for question-based work.

## Overview

How the class performed, at a glance. **Class mean** with the median, **Range** from lowest to highest, and **Submitted** as a fraction of the class. Then a **Performance summary** written from the graded work, a **Score distribution** with a one-word verdict such as **Consistent** or **Split class**, **Score bands** in tens, a **Criterion breakdown** (or **Section breakdown** for question-based work) whose lowest rows are the best candidates for a reteach, **Top performers** and **Students to follow up with**, and **Top findings**.

What it can't answer: how one student is doing over time. That's Standards.

## Question analytics

Question-based assignments only. One row per question: the percent of students who got it right, the count, and a chip reading **EASY**, **MEDIUM** or **HARD**. Red flags a whole-class reteach; amber usually means a small-group review. Expand a question for its **Answer distribution**, the average points earned, and any **Misconceptions** it links to.

"Right" means the answer matched the key for multiple choice, true/false, matching and ordering, or the top level on every criterion for rubric-graded questions. Partial credit doesn't count as right here.

## Strengths & weaknesses

Needs three graded submissions. Three columns, **Class strengths**, **Class weaknesses** and **Common misconceptions**, each a set of patterns clustered across the class. A card names the pattern, the criterion or question it comes from, how many students share it, and **Representative evidence** quoted from real work. A link at the bottom points at Recommendations.

## Scores table

Every student against every criterion or question. Sort any column, switch between **%** and **Points**, turn on the **Heat map**, and select **Export scores** for an Excel or CSV file. [Export scores and reports](/teachers/share/export-scores)

The **Status** column here uses older words: **Returned**, **Completed** and **Pending review** mean **Shared**, **Ready to share** and **Needs review**.

## Recommendations

Needs three graded submissions. Concrete next steps for this class, ranked by impact. Each card carries a **Whole class** or **Small group** chip, the share of the class it affects, and, expanded, the student group and ready-to-use **AI prompts** you can copy or open in ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity. There's nothing to tick off; the list refreshes as grades change.

## Why a view is missing

| Missing                                         | Because                                                                                           |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Question analytics**                          | The assignment is rubric-graded. The Overview's criterion breakdown is the equivalent             |
| **Strengths & weaknesses**, **Recommendations** | Fewer than three graded submissions, or the pattern analysis hasn't finished. A banner says which |
| Everything, with a lock                         | The analytics gate. Pro, the add-on, or a free preview                                            |
