Staff and Student Indicators on Screens
On the Change Request screen and the WISEid Edit Screen, indicate if it is for a staff or student. Spent several minutes trying to locate the person in our SIS only to find out they were a staff member. Not everyone deals with both student and staff.
4 votesWe added filters on the Message and Change Request for Staff vs Students now so you can focus on just those. On the WISEid Edit Screen we have the Local Person ID section which shows for agencies if its staff or student. We also include that info when you search for a person now in the results.

Match Review
The match review is cumbersome and time consuming. Madison has over 300 to review, it will take a long time to to do this.
4 votesWe have over last two years optimized our matching. Please let us know if problems continue.

WISEid enhancement to Requesting/Dependent Agency
I would like to see an enhancement to the WISEid for Requesting Agency and Dependent Agency to be listed alphabetically rather than by LEA #. Most users do not know (or care) what another agency LEA # is, they want to find the agency in a quick and fast manner, hence alphabetically.
Thanks!
4 votesThis has been fixed so the drop downs are sorted alphabetically.

One Match Request Per WiseId
If a student is already on the change request list, don't add another request. Match on WiseId
4 votesLast year we changed the system if there is a pending change request and a new upload creates the same Change Request no new change request is created.

Do not deny Parent Name Change Requests
When a parent informs us of a name change, while sometimes documentation is provided, we do not require it, in order to update our SIS. We do however, take the necessary steps to ensure that a name is not duplicated, incorrect, or wrong. I can see the need for the match-review process with students (and legal documentation), but the denial/appeal process with a parent name seems redundant.
3 votesWe decided just to get rid of Parent Name Change Requests entirely since it was too complicated.

Creating a New WISEid
Suggestion sent in by River Valley School District:
When creating a new WISEid, it would be helpful for the WISEid # to display after all information is entered and saved. Currently, I have to re-search for the person to get the ID#. (Unless I'm missing a step somewhere) Thanks for considering an update.
3 votesWe added the WISEid to the top of the Edit Person page awhile back. So now at end of completion you return to Edit Person the WiSEid is showing before the persons name.

Students with 2 different items to approve/deny. Separate WISEid alert for each specific "item" for approval/denial.
I often receive WISEid alerts for a single student that have two items in a single alert. Example: One line item is a name difference; Another line item is a race/ethnicity change.
I would like the ability to approve or deny a single line item.
The issue is that the District may need to Approve one of the line items and Deny the other line item. This option is not available; a District can either Approve ALL line items or Deny All line items.

Last Enrollment Information History
In Last Enrollment Information, it was helpful to have the movement of the student all the years in school? Right now you can only see the Last Enrollment Information. It helps me as a Registrar, especially when the parents don't tell you all the schools the students have attended and trying to get records. It helps at the High School level with suspicious expulsions as well. The movements tell you things and seeing them is helpful.
2 votesWe have had this for about a year. To see in WISEid you must also be set up in WISEdata Collections Portal with access. If you have then the enrollments are visible in the Search Results and Match Review if you expand the details for a person there is a section Enrollments that shows last 2 enrollments for that person.

Provide a student download for approved change requests
The Student Downloaded by Local Person ID is a file that shows students who have now left the district . So is there a way to pull a file (or download a file) that will tell me all the students who have been requested by another district. I would prefer to have a file rather than looking at the approved through Change Request one by one

File Layouts on Google+
I am assuming the file layouts posted last week are for the export files from our HR system. Can you also post on the website the file layout for the result file of WISEids we will be able to download?

Local Person ID should be mandatory
In order to better leverage benefits provided by the localrowkey and to simplify DPI development efforts is it feasible to require a localrowkey be provided.
2 votesWith the expansion of the WISEid Local PersonID is not required by the system.

Differentiate Contacts - Student/Staff
For WISEid "Contacts" we should probably be able to select a Primary/Secondary and Generics for each area... Student/Staff. Right now, there is no way to determine what group a contact works with. If not fixed, this will be very confusing when trying to reach someone. Thanks!
1 voteIn today’s release of WISEid (9/22/16) you now have the ability to mark contacts for Student records, staff records or both.

Instead of requiring birth city, make it optional.
Birth certificates do not always give the city of birth. Many birth certificates only list county. Requiring this information means creating additional records be kept because the annotated birth certificate should be what is on the birth certificate, not what you verbally ask a parent.
1 voteThe birth city is optional already.

URGENT Training on WISEid Student Application Process & Expectations
I was startled to find out about the impending change from the WSLS to WISEid system for student tracking. While I have heard whispers of info, finding out about the need to exit students this July and enter into a new process and system is concerning at this date and time. I would respectfully request that trainings, videos or conferences be made available to us who work within these systems every day. At a District level not only do I need to learn the student side of the application( I have worked w/ WISEstaff) I now need to learn, understand…
1 voteWe have the https://dpi.wi.gov/wisedata/help/wiseid Help page. On this we even have E-Learning course and documentation.

Entity # Duplicates
Suggestion from Oshkosh Area School District: In addition to the Report Duplicates for WiseId's we hope to have a Report Duplicates for Entity #'s - we had 2 cases recently that had the wrong number & could not fix or report the errors.

Thanks!
I am not sure who this should go to - so please route. I think that the report submission went so much better this year! When everything is 100% the way it should be, it will be very easy to use. I also liked being able to print out the report for my files. Thank you for the hard work.

Link to Google Community
It is probably on here somewhere but could you add a link to the WI DPI WISEdata discussion community on Google? Maybe under the help tab? I had trouble finding it this afternoon.
1 voteI implemented. If you click help and then the application the Google Community will be on the list of help options.
