How Can I Filter the Play Log?
No filtering is required, but you can filter using these options if you wish.

Experience Type: Teachers and Administrators can choose between the 4 types of experiences (Core Skills, Guided Practice, Entry/Exit Check-Ups, and/or Free Play) and see events for each specific type.
-
- Core Skills: the primary experiences of Ignite through which children progress
- Entry/Exit Skill Check-Ups: shorter, "check-up" experiences that measure a child's skill level at the beginning and end of the school year. These do not impact skill progress.
- Guided Practice: practice experiences delivered to support children who show a need for support in a particular subdomain.
- Free Play: If a child completes all experiences in Ignite, the child may re-play the Core experiences for fun. These experiences are not scored and are called Free Play.
-

Domain: Filter the export to see only experiences that belong to certain Learning Domains of the 7 Domains in Ignite.

Display Time As: This toggle allows Administrators and Teachers to choose to display the child play time for each session in either seconds, minutes, or hours. The time will be displayed as a decimal.
-
Age: This filter enables Teachers and Administrators to choose to see data for children within the specified age range.
-
Grade: This filter enables Teachers and Administrators to see data for children within a specific grade based on the grade specified in each child's profile. Keeping the toggle set to ALL will include data for children without an entry in this field.
