WISEid Automatic Email Reminders
It may be helpful to have WISEid send an automatic email to the user contact email address when there are changes (approvals & denials) so the School District contact person knows there is information waiting for them. I suggest providing the link right to the page the contact person needs to be at. Not all of us get onto this site immediately (especially in the midst of the beginning of the year) to take time to specifically log in and check this daily and within the seven days allotted for changes. An automatic email would ease this reporting. - Stephanie…
1 voteWe implemented both required and optional notifications. The optional notification types you can subscribe to in the application under Message Center – Agency Notifications.

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.

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.

Back button to Staff list
Back button to Staff List
1 voteWe deployed two solutions around this problem. One is when you open a staff person it opens in a new tab you can close out and go back to the original page when done looking or making changes for the person. Secondly we have a new button on the top right corner of the Staff List “Go to Navigator” that will allow you to navigate from person to person on the list without having to keep going back to the main page until you are done.

Name Change for Case Only
Can you eliminate name change requests when the only difference is a change in case? We're asked to approve a difference between an "old value" of SMITH and a "new value" of Smith. Unless case is important, it would be nice not to see those!
4 votesThis was fixed in the last year.

Email notification when a message/change request needs my attention
When a message/change request comes to my agency, I would love an email notification. Often times the seven days has come and gone before I even have a chance to see it.
37 votesWe have completed this finally. There are a few rough edges we are fixing in the next month or so, but the system is up and running. You can subscribe to emails from the WISEid/WISEstaff Admin Menu \ Agency Notifications page. Please suggest new ideas if there is any activity we currently don’t monitor that you want to get notifications for.

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.

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.

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.

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
