# 41. How to Set Targets for a Class in TrackAble
## TrackAble allows you to set targets for a whole class within a single subject directly from the Assessment Screen. This ensures consistency across pupils and helps teachers plan learning and progression effectively. This article explains how to set targets step-by-step and highlights important considerations such as baselines and Smart Fill behaviour.
### **Before You Begin**
Make sure pupils are **baselined** in the subject you are targeting.
If the “Year Start” column shows **NL + 0%**, this indicates the pupil has **no baseline set**.
You must set the baseline before adding targets (unless NL + 0% is their true starting point).
> **For help with baselining pupils, see the Baseline article.**
### **Step-by-Step: Setting Class Targets**
#### **1. Open the Assessment Screen**
- Select the **Assessment Framework**.
- Select the **Class** you want to work with.
- It does not matter which subject you initially choose.
#### **2. Click *Set Targets***
On the right-hand side of the screen, select:
**Set Targets**
TrackAble will default to **All Subjects**.
#### **3. Select the Subject**
Use the dropdown menu to choose the subject you want to set targets for.
TrackAble will display all pupils in the class for that subject.
Check the “Year Start” column:
- **NL + 0%** = baseline not set
- Other values = baseline already established
Establish a baseline first if required.
#### **4. Choose the Target Level**
1. Go to the **Key Stage** or **Year** dropdown (depending on your school’s settings).
2. Start typing the target level to filter the list.
3. Select the correct target level.
Tip: Typing more characters narrows results and avoids scrolling.
#### **5. Use Smart Fill**
Click **Smart Fill**.
TrackAble will automatically generate **termly targets** using linear progression.
### You can adjust targets manually:
- Click the dropdown for any term.
- Choose a different target if needed.
### If a pupil joins mid-year:
If **Advanced Smart Fill** is enabled by your TrackAble Administrator, you can select the term from which targets should begin.
#### **6. Save All Targets**
When you are happy with the targets:
- Scroll to the top or bottom of the page
- Click **Save All**
Your targets for this subject and class are now complete.
### **How TrackAble Calculates Percentage Progress**
TrackAble uses the number of **statements** and **stars** within a level to determine percentage increments.
Example:
- Level contains **5 statements**
- Each statement has **3 stars** → 15 stars total
- Each star = **7% progress**
So possible percentages are:
**7%, 14%, 21%, 28%, 35%, etc.**
These predefined increments will appear in the dropdown.
### **Self-Service Tips**
✔ If Smart Fill doesn’t behave as expected, check your school’s **Target Settings**.
✔ If pupils are missing, verify they are allocated to the correct class.
✔ If target options look incorrect, review the **Levels** in your assessment framework.
