# 29. How to Change Your School’s Target Settings in TrackAble
## TrackAble allows you to customise how targets are set and displayed for pupils, giving your school flexibility in tracking progress over time. This guide explains each of the options available within the Target Settings area.
### **Accessing Target Settings**
1. Go to **Admin \> Settings \> Targets**.
2. You will see a range of settings that allow you to adjust how pupil targets are generated, displayed, and managed.
### **1. Choose Between Key Stage Targets or Yearly Targets**
By default, TrackAble uses **Key Stage targets**, setting long-term goals for each pupil.
If your school prefers shorter reporting cycles, you can switch to **Yearly Targets**.
- Select **Yearly Target** to change your school’s approach.
- For detailed guidance on setting targets, refer to the article:
**How to Set Targets in TrackAble**
### **2. Predictive Targeting**
Predictive Targeting allows TrackAble to automatically calculate targets based on a pupil’s **average progression rate**.
### Increasing Targets Above Average
If you would like pupils to aim higher than their historical progression:
1. Enter a percentage in **Percentage Added to Predictive Target**.
2. TrackAble will add this amount to the predicted value.
**Example:**
If a pupil’s average progression suggests a target of 20% and you add **5%**, their target becomes **25%**.
### **3. Advanced Smartfill**
Advanced Smartfill gives you the flexibility to set targets **from Term 2 onwards**, rather than always starting from Term 1.
This is especially useful when:
- Pupils join mid-year
- Baselines are adjusted
- You begin using TrackAble partway through an academic year
### **4. Prediction Comment**
Prediction Comments help you keep a record of decision making.
When switched on:
- You can click the **subject name** in the Progression screen
- Add notes explaining why a target was set or changed
This is useful for:
- SEN reviews
- Pupil progress meetings
- Leadership discussions
- Evidence for inspection or moderation
### **5. Future Targets**
Future Targets allow you to start setting targets for the **next academic year** after **1st June**.
### To use this feature:
1. Go to the **Viewing Targets for** dropdown.
2. Select the following academic year.
3. Set your new targets as required.
This helps schools prepare for transitions and end-of-year reviews efficiently.
### **Need Support?**
