Some reports in ASAP have dynamic reporting functionality.
In a dynamic report you can sort the data by each of the column headings. Select the column heading (grey area) and then click to toggle between an ascending or descending sort. By selecting and dragging the column heading into the blue row, the data is summarized. You could use this function to group the students by common responses to a data field.
Very specific sorts can be accomplished by using the operation (the equal sign) field. Select the operation from the dropdown choices. Click on the desired operation and then double click the corresponding green field to type the parameters.For example in the email column select the operation Contains and then double click the green area to type a company name. This allows you to generate a sort of all of the students associated with that company by email address.
