Additional Status Options for Measures

Overview

This article explains how Planning & Self Study administrators configure, add, or remove custom Measure statuses within institutional Assessment Plans, and outlines where these statuses appear across platform reports.

Configuring Measure Statuses

Administrators select the available tracking options for Assessment Plan Measures globally across the organization by following these steps:

  • From the Planning & Self Study homepage, select Admin from the left-hand administrator menu.
  • On the following screen, select Configuration Settings.
  • Under the Data Objects section, select Measure Status.

    The Data Objects section showing a list of configuration items with the Measure Status option highlighted.

  • Review the list of available Measure Status options on the configuration page:

    • Met (selected by default)
    • Not Met (selected by default)
    • Not Applicable
    • Partially Met

    The Measure Status section showing four status options with checkboxes for Met, Partially Met, Not Met, and Not Applicable. The Met and Not Met options are selected, and the Save Selections button highlighted.

Note: The system locks the "Met" and "Not Met" options by default so users cannot deselect them. Administrators can freely select or deselect the "Not Applicable" and "Partially Met" options based on institutional preferences.

Impact on Reporting Features

Once an administrator saves the configuration, the active options apply to all dynamic Assessment Plan Measures. The chosen settings automatically update the layout and terminology across these specific areas:

  • Comprehensive Plan Export Comma-Separated Values (CSV) files
  • Plan Measure Detail CSV files
  • Plan Insights Measure Status Chart dashboards
  • Plan HTML and PDF reports
  • Strategic Plans modules
