Adding/Editing User Sources of Data

The User Sources of Data feature in SE FIE allows individual users to create, import, edit, and remove sources of data used in Full Individual Evaluation (FIE) reports. These sources often represent assessments, evaluation tools, or data-collection methods used during the evaluation process.

Each user maintains their own "User Defined Sources of Data" list, which can be managed through the SE FIE menu.

Co-ops and SSAs

For districts operating within a cooperative (co-op) or shared services arrangement (SSA), sources of data behave differently across districts.

• Changes made to sources of data in one district do not affect other districts within the co-op or SSA.
• Districts may choose to maintain a master district list containing the preferred sources of data.
• Individual users can then import the desired sources of data into their own "User Sources of Data" list.

Because these sources are tied to a user’s login account:

• Users can access their sources of data across all districts they work in.
• Imported or custom sources of data remain available to that user in any district.
