Adding/Editing User Sources of Data

Individual users can add, edit, and remove Sources of Data in their own User Defined list for the SE FIE program through the SE FIE menu using the following steps.

 Pro Tip: The User Sources of Data list is visible across districts.

Coops and SSAs

Changes to the Sources of Data in one district will not affect another district in the Coop/SSA. Consider creating a single master district with all the desired Sources of Data.

Your individual users may import the desired Sources of Data into their individual User Sources of Data list. Since the User Sources of Data are tied to each individual user’s login, they will be able to see their User Sources of Data across all districts.

  1. SE FIE
  2. Edit User Sources of Data
 Note: Any assessment added/edited by a user will display in the FIE Sources of Data table with the phrase “-user defined” at the end. This allows users to quickly identify their own sources of data while still being able to select from the district source of data list. “-user defined” only appears on the title page of the FIE; it does not appear in the individual sections or on the final printout.

Adding a Data Source

To add a Source of Data from the District Source of Data List, select the desired assessment from the dropdown titled "Select a Source of Data Template to import."

Once the option selected, click Import Template.

Editing an Import/Data Source

To edit an imported or created Source of Data, select the assessment to be edited from the "Select a Source of Data to edit" dropdown.

Users may edit the name by editing the text in the "Name of Source of Data" field.

 Note: If multiple versions of the same Source of Data are needed, each can be distinguished by simple changes in the title (e.g., change 4th to Fourth). We do not recommend adding your initials or special characters to the title as they will appear on the final printout of your FIE.

A test description may be added in the "Description of Source of Data" text field.

You can alternately select Remove Source of Data from Available List, as needed, to remove a selected Source of Data.

 Note: Clicking this button will result in the selected Source of Data being deleted from any draft FIEs. Any locked FIE that is unlocked will also have the Source of Data deleted.

Adding a New Component

Click Add New Component to add a new Source of Data Component (e.g. Subtest and/or Composite Names).

 Note: If any Source of Data Fields other than Results and Interpretations are added, at least one Source of Data Component must be created to ensure the desired table appears on the printed FIE. Do not exceed 75 total.

Enter the Component Name and click Insert to add the Source of Data Component to the table.

You can alternately click Cancel, if needed, to cancel the process of adding the Source of Data Component.

Adding a New Field

Click Add New Field to add a new Source of Data Field and enter the desired Field Name (e.g. column headers such as Standard Score, Percentile Rank and/or Qualitative Descriptor).

Select the Field Type from the dropdown menu. Field types include Yes/No Radio, Yes/No/NA Radio, True/False Radio, Below/Avrg/Above Radio, Single Checkbox, Textbox, Date, Numeric, Large Text box.

 Note: The Large Text Box is a multiline text field and may only be used in Column Position 99.

Enter the Position of the field. The Components Column (subtests and composites) are always the first column of the table. The column positions in the Source of Data Fields are displayed as the 10’s place Each new column would be the next 10’s place, ex. 20, 30, 40.

 Note: Table width is limited to six columns, including the Source of Data Components (Subtest and Composite Names). To ensure tables print as desired, do not exceed six columns (Column Position 60). Exceeding six columns will result in the additional columns wrapping to the next page, creating an odd page break and the Large Text Box field type may only be used in Column Position 99.

Click Insert to add the Source of Data Field. Or, click Cancel, if needed, to cancel adding the Source of Data Field.
