Create/Edit a Site – DnA & ISE

This lesson will guide you through manually creating and editing school sites in DnA. After the initial sites.txt import, site data is managed entirely via the Site Management page.

Verify the site being created does not already exist.

Where to Start

Select the Administration Gear.
Under School, select Site Management.

Add a Site

The Site Management page with Add Site labeled as step 3, and the edit and delete buttons labeled as step 4.

If you are sure the site does not already exist, select Add Site.
To edit an existing site, select the paper/pencil icon next to the appropriate site. To delete a site, select the red X.

Site Details

The Create Site page, with Site ID labeled as step 1, Site Name labeled as step 2, Parent Site labeled as step 3, Start and End Grade labeled as step 4, and the Save button labeled as step 5.

Enter a Site ID (for DnA, this should match the ID from your SIS).
Enter the Site Name.
Parent Site for a school should be the district, in most cases.
- If you make another school the parent site to a new school you are making, you will encounter issues using the student scope selector in DnA pages and reports that search for student data.
Select the Start and End Grade levels for the school site. This determines grade levels available when generating reports and student searches.
Select Save when done adding information.

Additional information to enter includes the site's address, if it should be excluded from reporting, and CRDR fields. The fields listed above are the primary fields used in DnA.

Sites can also be set to be Excluded From Data Imports. This allows specific sites to be ignored in the Core Data Imports, so that if data is being sent from the SIS for sites that is not needed in DnA, records will not be created for those excluded sites.
- This option can be useful for administrators seeking manage incoming data for preschools, feeder schools, summer schools, and alternative education schools.
- Exclude From Data Imports can be turned on and off as necessary. For example, summer schools can be excluded from data imports until the district is ready to begin rostering and enrolling students for the summer term.
- Excluding unneeded sites from data imports prevents the creation of extraneous data validation errors.

A confirmation appears at the top of Site Management to verify the site has been created.

Next Steps

All active sites need terms to have students enrolled and rostered to them. To learn more, visit Create/Edit/Delete Terms using the Term Manager.
