 ## Local development
 
 ### Database
+
 This project uses PostgreSQL to store data.
 
 Install Postgres and get it up and running first.
 
 #### Docker
+
 Postgres can be quickly and easily be installed using `docker run`
 
 Simply copy and past the following command into your machine running Docker:
+
 ```
 docker run --name sqm-postgres -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=MySuperSecretPassword -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust -e POSTGRES_USER=$USER -v ~/postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data --restart always -d postgres:13
 ```
+
 Just change `MySuperSecretPassword` to the password you want to use with Postgres, and `~/postgres-data` to the folder where you want to store the database data.
 
 Then, confirm it is running using `docker ps`
+
 ```
 $ docker ps

+
+```bash
+bundle exec rake 'report:survey_item:create[Example School Name, 2023-24]'
+```
+
+Or for an entire district:
+
+```bash
+bundle exec rake 'report:survey_item:district[District Name, 2023-24]'
+```
+
+Other report generation tasks currently available include:
+
+- `report:measure:district[Example District]`
+- `report:measure:sqm`
+- `report:scale:bll`
