# 45. How to Set Targets for a Single Pupil in TrackAble
## TrackAble allows you to set personalised targets for an individual pupil across one or multiple subjects within an assessment framework. This guide walks you through how to set those targets from the Assessment Screen.
### **Before You Start**
Check whether the pupil has been **baselined** in the subject(s).
If the “Year Start” column shows **NL + 0%**, this means **no baseline has been set**.
You must set a baseline before setting targets (unless NL + 0% is the correct starting point).
> See *How to Set a Baseline* for guidance.
### **Step-by-Step: Setting Targets for a Single Pupil**
#### **1. Open Set Targets**
From the right-hand side of the Assessment Screen, click:
**Set Targets**
This will display all subjects within the current framework for the selected pupil, along with:
- Year Start level
- Level Now
#### **2. Select the Target Level**
Each subject includes a target drop-down based on your school’s Target Settings (Key Stage or Yearly).
1. Click the **target dropdown** for the subject you want to update.
2. Begin typing the level (recommended to reduce scrolling).
3. Select the correct level from the list.
#### **3. Use Smart Fill**
Once you have chosen a target level:
1. Click **Smart Fill**.
2. TrackAble will automatically calculate **termly targets** using linear progression.
### You may adjust targets manually:
- Click any term’s dropdown
- Select a new target level
#### **4. Advanced Smart Fill (Optional)**
If your TrackAble Administrator has enabled **Advanced Smart Fill**, you can:
- Select which **term** the Smart Fill calculation should start from
- This is useful for pupils joining the school mid-year
#### **5. Save the Targets**
When all required target fields have been completed:
- Scroll to the top or bottom of the page
- Click **Save All**
Your pupil’s targets are now stored and will appear in reporting and assessment screens.
### **How TrackAble Calculates Percentage Progress**
TrackAble uses the number of statements and stars within a level to generate valid progress percentages.
### Example:
- Level contains **5 statements**
- Each statement has **3 stars**
- Total stars: 15
- Each star = **7%**
Possible progress values are therefore:
**7%, 14%, 21%, 28%, 35%, …**
These appear in the target dropdowns.
### **Self-Service Tips**
✔ If Smart Fill is not working as expected, check **Assessment Settings → Targets**.
✔ If target lists appear incorrect, ensure the **Levels tab** of the framework is in the correct order.
✔ If subjects are missing, confirm the subject is attached to the class in **Admin \> Lists \> Classes**.
