What each pre-flight blocker means

Every finding the Before you release panel can raise, its cause, and the page that clears it.

One answer, with what teachers ask next on the same screen underneath it.

  • Say whether it helped at the bottom of the article. That is the only way we learn it is wrong.
  • Anything in a green box is what the DepEd order says; anything in amber is where teachers get caught.

Each finding carries a jump link to the page that fixes it. Blockers stop the release; warnings can be acknowledged and passed. The dividing line: a card that would go out wrong blocks, a card that would go out incomplete warns — how much of a term to encode stays your call.

Blockers

  • "No learners on the roster." Nobody to release a card to. Paste your class list on the Learners page.
  • "No subjects yet." A report card needs at least one learning area. Add them on Subjects.
  • "Mathematics: grades are still recomputing." An edit landed a moment ago and the engine has not caught up. Wait, then reload Release.
  • "12 learners are missing conduct ratings." The card prints an observed value for each core value, for every learner. Mark everyone on Conduct; the link opens it on the right period.
  • "5 learners have no term comment yet." The Teacher's Comments box prints on every card. Report cards shows the card while you write and walks you to the next learner without one.

A Kindergarten to Grade 3 class has no conduct grid and no comment box — the narrative does that job — so the last two never appear there.

Warnings

  • "Nothing is encoded in Term 1 yet." Released now, every card would print blank. Named first so the panel never reads like a tidy checklist when it should not.
  • "Mathematics: no activities in Term 1." Nothing has been encoded for that subject this period, so it prints blank on every card.
  • "Mathematics: Written/Oral Works has no activities." That component carries a share of the term grade, so no grade can be computed until it holds at least one activity.
  • "Mathematics: 12 missing scores." A missing score is not a zero. Encode it, or mark it excused. Leaving it empty means the learner has no term grade and the card prints a dash.
  • "Dela Cruz, Princess Nicole has no scores in any subject." Enrolled but never encoded — often a learner who transferred in late, or a name that was missed during encoding. Check the roster, then either encode or remove them.
  • "Filipino: 4 learners have no descriptor." Kindergarten to Grade 3 classes only. A learner without one prints blank in this area on the Learner's Progress Report.
  • "3 learners have no competency ratings yet." Checklist-style classes only. Their checklist would go out empty; rate what you have observed on the Checklist page.
  • "3 learners have no narrative report yet." Kindergarten only. The card prints one narrative report per grading period with the parent's signature space under it; write each learner's report at the foot of the Checklist page.
  • "3 over the 20% absence threshold." DepEd Order 15, s. 2026 fails the learning area unless the absences are justified. Review attendance before you release, or acknowledge and carry on.

What if the panel never goes clear

A blocker on a subject someone else teaches is theirs to clear — the jump link opens their class record, but only the subject's teacher or a co-teacher can encode in it. The adviser's overview shows whose subject is still short. If a missing score belongs to a learner who has genuinely no work to submit, mark it excused rather than zero: excused leaves both totals alone, a zero counts against them.
