Efficiency or Effectiveness?

I'm in a debacle as to whether to record the specific feedback I provide to our Learners or simplify identify whether they were a 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, or 1.0. If I record the feedback, I can better monitor their progress and respond to it. Recording that daily feedback will take more time. However, if I simply record their proficiency level of our Formative Assessment (FA), it's quicker, though less informative for teaching and learning.

This first image, with the Learner's name off screen to the left, has the Date, the Standard, Type, specific Feedback, Class Section, and Proficiency Level. This can identify the specific feedback that was provided to the Learner.




This second image is our Google spreadsheet of grades by Standard of the Formative Assessments (FAs) once graded. Many initial ones are ungraded. 


My question is whether to take the time and effort to record the specific or simply the proficiency level of the Formative Assessment.

Please share your thoughts as to what is ideal for our Learners and our learning. Thank you!
