Release Summary
nySTART
- Login Page
- Updated text with information about deployment.
- Lobby
- The following links under Bulk ISRs heading are enabled to access reports:
- 2007-08 NYSTP ELA
- 2007-08 NYSTP Math
- Bulk ISR
- NYSTP ELA and Math Bulk ISRs for 2007-08 have been loaded to the nySTART
application.
Not Available
- Under the Assessments section, the Interactive Reports (aka “Guided Analysis” reports) continue to be disabled in preparation for Guided Analysis rewrite/re-release. Users will be able to access only the Bulk ISRs.
- Summary Reports will be released in a future deployment.
Known Issues
- Out-of-District Placement Bulk ISRs are missing and
will be loaded in a future deployment.
- PDF files do not generate for Tested/Not
Tested reports. Suggested workaround: Download Excel reports instead, which
generate in seconds (15 to 30 seconds for small populations in the few
hundreds; ~1m for populations around 1000.) Use an average of 1m/1000 records
to estimate download time needed.
- Report layout in Firefox may not display
properly. If you experience this, please take screenshots and document
the click-path (steps taken to reach improper display page) along with
browser version (under menu path: Help > About Mozilla Firefox) and
nySTART account type. If you are a BUGtrack account-holder, log there.
If not, call NYSED's Information and Reporting Services unit at 518-474-7965
for contact info to which to send documentation.
Defects Fixed
- NYSTP 2007-08 Social Studies reports
were not generating. This fix was deployed.
