How do I get full names on reports if I only enter pupil numbers?
Keep a separate “name key” file of code,name lines (for example 07,Sam) where your school allows, and load it only when you print or export. It is held in the page’s memory, never saved, and forgotten when you leave.
Step by step
- Make a plain text or CSV file with one line per pupil: code, comma, name (07,Sam).
- Keep it somewhere your school allows, not in the Report Writer.
- When you print or export, load the name key in the report writer.
- Print or download. Names appear only in what you print or download.
- Reload or leave the page and the names are forgotten.

Questions and fixes
The names don’t appear
Check each line starts with exactly the same code you used for the pupil, followed by a comma. Reload the name key after editing the file.
