Progress Detail
Selecting Progress Detail from the Reports menu creates a report that has two main sections.
The top portion gives drill by drill detail, showing them in order by drill number. A description of each column is listed below.
The bottom portion gives overall summary results by type of drill, and grand total averages. See Progress Summary Report for details.
While viewing this report, if you are not sure what something means, Context Help is available. Locate the arrow/question mark icon in the upper right corner of the report. Click there, then click on the label or number in question. A pop-up box will open with detailed information about what the item is and how it was calculated. To get help on another item, simply click the icon again and click on the new item in question. Each box will disappear as soon as you click anywhere on the screen.
Following are the columns listed on the Progress Detail Report and a brief synopsis of their contents.
This is a sequential number identifying each practice drill and skill measurement session saved. These are stored automatically if at least 50 strokes were entered in any practice mode. Drills under 50 strokes are not saved. (This default minimum can be changed by the Administrator.)
Date and time when the practice was recorded.
Total number of keystrokes (excluding backspaces and the original strokes the backspaces erased.)
This is the total count of erroneous strokes. It excludes erroneous strokes that were corrected by backspacing in a Measure Skills session.
Elapsed time in seconds between the time of the first correct stroke and the last stroke. Time stops after the last stroke and excludes the delay until the [Esc] key was pressed or the flag was clicked.
This is the number of net correct digits entered, divided by the time from the first until the last stroke in the drill or skill measurement.
This is the Learning Mode used during the drill. The "Flash Keys" phrase refers to the process used in the "Learning to Touch Key" mode.
This is the setting of the decimal slider at the end of the drill. This is used in the Summary Reports to show which precision entry modes require more work. You will see differences in speed and error rates depending on the setting of the decimal precision slider.
Indicates whether the drill or skill measurement was performed using the tenkey pad or the top row of number keys on the QWERTY (full alphanumeric) keyboard. Practice on the QWERTY keyboard will speed your OVERALL typing skills, not just those needed for numeric data entry and computations.
