  1. 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!

    In today’s release of WISEid (9/22/16) you now have the ability to mark contacts for Student records, staff records or both.

  2. 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. Error Help

    It would be helpful to know what data fields are missing when getting this error message upon uploading a file to WISEid: Unexpected Data in File Detected. Please Verify that the File Has Complete Rows of Data Before Attempting to Re-Submit.

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Missing Entity IDs

    Please add the ability to update/add Entity ID's that are missing. Currently the only way to fix for a few is to upload another person file which is a lot of work for only a few missing records. Thanks.

  11. 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.

  12. help buttons

    Can you put a help button (?) next to each button? It would help tremendously.

    Also, put the order that work is to be completed at the top - left (before person). Every time I enter this program, I am at a bit of a loss on what to do next, in what order.

  13. need instructions on page

    Next steps. I think that we need more directions or information under each category. Example. I have uploaded my csv file. Then, I went to results and downloaded the new/comment filled csv file back from the State. I tried to clean things up and resubmit. I am now down to zero errors, but 4 potential match issues that I need help with. Instructions would help. Thanks.

  14. Button consistency

    Under Results, the Error and Match buttons do not look like buttons, but the little letter icon to the far left does. The buttons should be more consistent.

  15. WISEid Quick Reference Guide

    In the WISEid Quick Reference, it shows this URL: https://uaapps.dpi.wi.gov/secure/

    Can you put the current URL in that documentation? Thanks!

  16. 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?

  17. Shared Staff between Districts

    How are the staff IDs going to work between districts that share staff - such as substitute teachers and coaches? Will there be a database where we can look up these numbers? This will be a nightmare otherwise.

  18. New Staff ID numbers

    Why are the staff IDs changing? Why would we need to use a new number instead of the license number of entity number already in existence? Our Skyward systems already have this information and if it is encouraged that we upload from Skyward - there is no spot for some type of a new Staff ID? This would require manual input for every employee!

    You will not need to hand enter WISEid’s into your local system. The process will work much like WSLS. You will first generate a file out of your local system. Next you will upload this file to the WISEid application and wait for it to process. Finally you will retrieve a result file that you import into your local system that will populate the WISEid.

    Skyward has assured DPI that the have a field ready to store the WISEid that is separate from the Entity number.

    Both number are necessary due to differing requirement for persons to that need to be licensed and which persons are reported in the Staff collection.

  19. Develop better match criteria for students with two last names

    Students with two last names are frequently duplicated. Some districts might have used one or the other last name instead of both. Other districts might have last names in a different order. Another district might put a dash between two last names while another might use a space. Better matching criteria would help eliminate duplicates.

    Please work on a way to help identify students with two last names correctly in WISEid.

  20. Allow District-to-District transfer of students

    Districts could send/request students based on WISEid by flagging them for transfer and an accept/reject process. This would help avoid data errors and duplicate data entry.
