eLearning:
FormWorks® Integration
Custom online forms can be created in DMAC’s FormWorks application (purchased separately) and integrated within T-TESS. When creating templates in FormWorks, they must be tied to T-TESS in order for them to be available for Appraisers to complete.
On the top right of a Teacher’s file click the New button and select FormWorks Form. Identify a Subject, Grade level and change the date, Start and End Times, if needed.
Check if it was Announced or Virtual and select a Template from the drop-down. The document will not appear unless the template was tied to T-TESS when created in FormWorks).
Complete the information on the form and click Save. When you click Exit, you will be asked if you want to Publish the document. If so, click Yes. This action will lock the document after the Teacher inputs their signature. You can also send the Teacher an email after clicking Publish to notify them it is ready for review.
Data collected from any forms in T-TESS can be viewed or exported in the Reports section of T-TESS.
Upload Walkthroughs or Other Files
Appraisers have the option to upload .pdf files in T-TESS. This can be attached as Walkthroughs or you can upload evidence samples and other documents that are relevant to the Teacher’s appraisal.
On the top right of a Teacher’s file click the New button and select Upload Walkthrough to add a copy of a previously completed walkthrough that will require signatures. Select a Subject/Grade Level/Date/Time and whether it was Announced or Virtual and then use the Select button to locate the file on your device; click Save. After saving, click Exit and Publish to make it available for teacher viewing.
Please note: data is not available in the Reports section for uploaded Walkthrough forms.
Select New > Upload File to upload other documents or supporting evidence you want to share with a teacher. Both the Appraiser and Teacher can view/upload .pdf files. Note: Uploaded files do not include signature fields. Up to 10 files can be uploaded at one time.
