If Comments are limited to 250 characters, I wish it would not allow you to keep typing. It's hard to try to figure out how much you have to delete so it will fit. Thanks.

We are verifying. If this is true we will get this fixed.

Requests to Approve or Deny
We just received an item that we are supposed to approve or deny. I don't understand how we could possibly make a decision on this. It is to approve or deny a last name change for a teacher who left our district in the summer of 2015. We have no way of knowing any information about her since she hasn't worked here for a year. Maybe there should be another choice to acknowledge this--like unknown? Thanks.

Attempts at trying to get this to work did not pan out, unfortunately. As of 10/5/17 will put on our list to reexamine if the latest development date tools can resolve this issue.

Updating a person should be done by an active district and require confirmations from other active districts via inbox messaging
Updating a person should be done by an active district and require confirmations from other active districts via inbox messaging.
Active reporting districts should be able to update any information, but it should be held in limbo until all other active districts with conflicting information "Accept" these changes via a home screen message in an inbox within the application. - no calling unless to remind someone to go into the app and accept changes
DPI then has ability to override, but no need to manage individual changes.

Search by either last or first name and birthdate
I used to find it helpful to search a student by their first name and birthdate only to make sure I am looking at all possibilities for a match. For example. if a student has two last names and I don't enter them in the right order. Or if a parent enrolls their student with a non-legal last name. We just had our Human Resources person discover that she requested new WISEids for young staff members because she didn't know their former last names. At least if you have a match on first name and birthdate, you could check further…

I suggest the WISEid system lists "Comments" chronologically, with the most recent comment, at the top of the list instead of the bottom.
It is natural for our eyes to go to the top of the list looking for the most recent event. I feel that anywhere there is a list that includes dates, the newest item should be listed first.

Error List from Results screen is cumbersome.
When looking at the errors returned from a file:
(1) the count is a count of persons with errors, not the error count; maybe this is ok, but it wasn't what I expected
(2) to view the errors I have to click on every single person which is very tedious if there are hundreds...

Cumbersome process to add multiple person names
The CSV upload allows only for one alternate name. As we are making this initial loads, we have several staff with multiple names. Our only options are to load multiple files to get all names or do some work by hand. We may decide to only enter the 2 names.
