Use this guide to learn about the System Generated Reporting Groups Y, S and V.

• (Y) Groups
• (S) and (V) Groups

These Groups can be used in numerous places in Bromcom for example on the Dashboards or running Reports when selecting Class or Group. You can also create User Defined Flags and Fields from Report Groups as per the examples below.

(Y) Groups

(Y) Groups: these are System Generated Reporting Groups, which will create a Cohort of Students who meet the requirements of that Group, for the Academic Year listed in the Group Name for example (Y)(20/21) Boys, would be the Boys in the 20/21 Academic Year.

The system will automatically create the Groups for you, for the past 3 Academic Years, for Students who are On Roll with you in that Year, between the Ages of 6 and 16 who are Not Guest Students.

The Students are added to the Group if they meet the requirements of the Group at a point throughout that Academic Year. They are not removed from the Group if they cease to meet the requirements of the Group, this is to show the Students who are/were in that Cohort in the Year.

(S) are System generated Groups. These are groups created by Bromcom and are updated overnight.

(V) In General stands for Vulnerable, a few of groups have exceptions i.e. 

(V) Boys and (V) Girls and (V) Summer Born. These are Dynamic Reporting Groups which can have end dates for students. Therefore if  a student is no longer in the Group because it does not meet the condition it will be removed from the group. They will not be part of the Current membership. However, if you change Membership Display from Current to Show all membership they will be visible.
