Before opening the Published Documents page, you will have to create the Documents to be published, for instance run a report and click on the Schedule or Export button.

When Exporting or Scheduling a report tick the Publish to MCAS box and either the Single Document or the Multiple Documents box.

Selecting Publish to MCAS will instantly publish the report to the parent on MyChildAtSchool under the Reports Widget.

Note: If several documents have been produced ticking the Single Document box will create a single export file containing multiple documents and the Publish to MCAS box will not be accessible. Selecting the Multiple Documents box will produce a single document for each report, for instance if the focus is on Student a single report will be produced for each Student.

If the Send Push Notifications option has been selected a Push Notification will be sent only when the new Document is Published on Today’s Date or 9.00 AM on the selected Date.

The page will refresh showing Published Date to the right of the selected rows.
