If your school uses Sentral, this is your main path for getting reports to parents. Publishing generates the student PDFs and uploads them into Sentral in one action – you don’t need to run Generate PDFs separately.

Before you start

Your Sentral API connection must be configured. If you see a “credentials are not configured” banner, click the cog (Sentral API settings) and enter your Sentral details first.

Publish

  1. Choose the Reporting Period.
  2. Choose the Year Groups to publish.
  3. Click Publish to Sentral. WAVE generates the PDFs and uploads them to Sentral.
  4. Watch progress in the jobs list – use Refresh to update the status.

Good to know

Because publishing already generates the PDFs, you only need Generate PDFs separately if you want a downloadable backup set, or if you’re not publishing to Sentral at all.

You’re done when

The publish job completes and the reports appear in Sentral for parents.
