# 105. What does the colour coding on TrackAble mean?

## On the Assessment Screen in TrackAble, pupil names are colour coded to give you a quick visual indication of how well each pupil is progressing against their targets. This allows staff to see at a glance whether a pupil is: Below target On target Above target

### **How Colour Coding Works**

The colour shown next to a pupil’s name reflects how their current progress compares to their target.

The point at which colours change depends on the **percentage thresholds** set by your **TrackAble Administrator**.

### **Default Colour Thresholds in TrackAble**

By default, TrackAble uses **10% thresholds**. Using these settings, progress is displayed as follows:

- 🔵 **Blue**  
  **10% or more above target**
- 🟢 **Green**  
  **Up to 10% above target**
- 🟠 **Amber**  
  **Up to 10% below target**
- 🔴 **Red**  
  **10% or more below target**

### **When Colours May Differ**

The colours you see may vary if your school has chosen to use **custom thresholds** instead of the default settings.

In addition:

- If **targets have not been set**, pupil names will display in **white**

💡 If you’re unsure which thresholds your school is using, contact your **TrackAble Administrator** for clarification.

### **Why Colour Coding Is Useful**

Colour coding helps you to:

- Quickly identify pupils who may need support
- Spot pupils exceeding expectations
- Monitor progress trends without running reports
