Getting Started with Axiom

 

NOTE: As updates are made to the software and new data is provided in the data files, it is critical to RE-IMPORT all state test files and then RE-CALCULATE All Data!  This is your first option when trouble-shooting. 

        RE-IMPORT...then...RE-CALCULATE!

Once your Axiom license has been activated, follow these steps to start using the tool:

• Grant User Rights 

• District Level Users- District Data Viewers and Data Administrators 
  • Add the “Analyze Accountability Data” Right in Aware.
• Campus Level Users- The Principal Role automatically allows the user access to view accountability data on the Axiom Tab for their assigned campus.
  • Note: Adding the “Analyze Accountability Data” Right to the Principal Role will give the user district level accountability report access and access to all campuses. 

 

• Re-Import Data

• Go to Analyze Tab > Upload Test Files > History Tab > Select all of this years state files and select to Reimport.
• Axiom Tab > Recalculate All Data 

• In Aware Select the Axiom Tab

• Begin confirming Settings
• Step 1: Configure Campuses 
• Step 2: View Data Files
• Step 3: Recalculate All Data

• Step 1: Configure Campuses
  • Open the dropdown menu next to each campus to confirm that the correct information for the campus is displayed. 

                   

• Select the option to "Enter Additional Data"
  • Key in Domain 1 and Domain 3 Components for the campus.

• Step 2: View Data Files

• Confirm that all data files have been imported.
• If any are missing or are not the most recent version of the file, go back to the Analyze Tab and import/reimport the missing files.

These are the files to make sure you have imported into Aware.

• STAAR EOC Summer 2017
• STAAR EOC Fall 2017
• STAAR 3-8 Spring 2018 (with March 5-8 data)
• STAAR 3-8 Spring Alt 2 2018
• STAAR 5-8 SSI May 2018 Retest
• STAAR EOC Spring 2018 (Multiple Files)
• STAAR EOC Spring Alt 2 2018

NOTE: The CAF is not necessary and not needed for Axiom to work. 

• Step 3: Recalculate Indexes
  • This step Reloads/Refreshes the data.
  • Anytime you import or reimport test files you must Recalculate Indexes.
  • Anytime you update/key in Domain 1 and 3 components you must Recalculate Indexes.
  • Once the Recalculate Indexes process is complete, there will be a confirmation window that appears. 
  • Commit to your click!  Click and wait, it's actually works very quickly! 

 

• If files are imported/reimported or Domain 1 and 3 data is added, a warning banner will appear reminding you to Recalculate Indexes.
  • Note: This does not mean you need to reimport STAAR files, it means you need to click the Recalculate Indexes Button.
