We use different grade plans for PE, Fine Arts and Academics. In the new report card builder each grade has to be in its own column. It looks OK for a quarter but as soon as you have multiple grading terms showing up on a cumulative semester or year report card you get too many columns. On a year report card for our middle school I would need 16 columns.
I'm surprised this hasn't been voted up higher; I would suspect that more schools experience this problem. In the old report card builder, I created three columns and got a choice of which grade to include from each grade plan per column. Now I have to create nine columns because the grade is selected first. Maybe I'm missing some configuration that lets you merge multiple columns into one, but I can't use the new report card until this is fixed. Example below of our "old" configuration - worked great.
