Manage notifications

When you begin administering tests to students, the test administration balance is adjusted based on the assessment group and mode of administration (OMR or online testing). You can set a low-balance threshold for each assessment group that will trigger an email alert when your test administration balance reaches the specified level.

To manage test administration notifications:

1.   Sign in to your DataManager account with your Account Holder username and password.

2.   From the Administration menu, select Manage Testing Activity.

A table lists all of your assessments, including the balance of tests, positive or negative, that you have purchased for students. If you are using both online testing and OMR modes of administration, two tables appear.

3.   In the Manage Testing Activity table, locate the assessment for which you want to manage notifications.

4.   In the Action column of the assessment, click Manage Notifications. A page displays the percent and number of remaining notifications.

5.    Do one of the following:

• To set a threshold based on the percentage of test administration credits remaining, in the Percentage of Administrations Remaining list, click the current setting and then select one or more predefined notification threshold values. The default threshold value is five percent.
• To set a threshold based on the number of test administrations remaining, in the Number of Administrations Remaining list, click the current setting, and then type up to six notification threshold values.
  
  

6.    Click Save.

7.    To manage notifications for another assessment, click Back to return to the Manage Notifications page and click Manage Notifications for the next assessment. Repeat as needed.
