You can assign tests to it when creating a test from Test Management > Tests.

Once you've assigned a test to a program, the program's performance objectives, windows, grade levels, and content areas cannot be changed. Make sure to plan and configure the program carefully before assigning tests. The checkboxes on the General Settings tab and the ISR Settings can be modified later, even when students are taking tests.

The following settings are available on the General Settings tab.

• Program Name – Enter a name for the program, such as Interim Assessments 2023. This name will be used when selecting a program in the performance reports, so it should be easy to recognize.
• Program Code – Not required. Not currently used or displayed on reports. 
• Scored – Select this checkbox for tests delivered through the ADAM player. Leave this checkbox unchecked for tests delivered externally (such as through TestNav). A program cannot contain both ADAM and external tests.
• Active – Select to make the program available when assigning a test to a program and in reporting. You can leave this unchecked until you are ready to use the program.
• Standards Reporting – Standard subscores will be calculated and standard reporting will be available to teachers and administrators. For ADAM-delivered test only.
• Item Analysis Reporting – Item analysis reporting will be available to teachers and administrators. For ADAM-delivered test only.
  • Show item content, answers, and student responses – This checkbox becomes available after selecting Item Analysis Reporting.
• Show Student Their Results – Allows students to see their results in ADAM. For ADAM-delivered test only.
• Show Student Item View – Allows students to see the test items in ADAM. For ADAM-delivered test only.
• Available Testing Windows – Enter the testing windows used in the program. You will need to manually type each window name, and then press Enter. Click X to remove a window. You can add multiple windows. (Note that testing windows do not exist elsewhere in ADAM.)
• Available Grades – Select the grade levels to use in the program. You can select multiple grades.
• Available Content Areas – Select the content areas used in the program, such as Algebra or ELA (these are defined in System > Client Settings). You can add multiple content areas. Content areas are similar to subjects but more specific. For example, Math is a subject while Geometry is a content area.

On the right side of the screen, define the performance objectives, such as raw score, that will appear in reports. The available objectives will vary based on whether the Scored checkbox is selected. Raw Score and Percent Correct appear by default. You can add additional objectives from the Add Objective dropdown. You can rename objectives in the Objective Name field.

Important: The objective configuration is a template that can be changed at the test level. For example, if you define cut scores here, they can be changed on individual tests when assigning them to the program. 

• Raw Score – Always available. Reports will show raw score if selected as a primary or secondary objective (see below).
• Percent Correct – Always available. Reports will show percent correct if selected as a primary or secondary objective (see below).
• Performance Level
  • Select the Input Variable: RAW_SCORE or PERCENT_CORRECT (or another input based on an objective you have created). This value will be used to determine the output score.
  • Enter the Label, Text description (such as "Above expectations"), and Cut Score. Select which of the performance levels are Proficient. You can also import a CSV file. Optionally, select new colors by clicking an existing color.
  • If performance level is used, it is usually the primary objective.
    
• Lookup
  • Enter a database key in the Objective Key field, such as LOOKUP_Scale. This field cannot be blank.
  • Select the Input Variable: RAW_SCORE or PERCENT_CORRECT (or another input based on objectives you have created). This value will be used to determine the output score.
  • Enter the Cut Score and Output fields. You can also import a CSV file. The cut score starts at zero, so the lowest value you enter can be greater than zero, but you may use zero if you define a cut score for every raw score. Optionally, select the Use Color Picker checkbox to customize the colors of the score groups.
    
• Dynamic Metadata 
  • Enter a database key in the Objective Key field, such as DYNAMIC_METADATA. This field cannot be blank.
  • Select the Score Calculation: NUMBER or PERCENT.
  • Click the Select Metadata button to select an item bank.
• External – Only available when the Scored checkbox is not selected (i.e., tests are delivered in TestNav).
  • The Objective Key must match the external passed data, for example SCALE_SCORE.
  • Select the Score Calculation: NUMBER or PERCENT.
  • Enter a default Range Designation (the low and high scaled scores or number of questions, with 0 in the Min field). The range for each test can be defined later when tests are added to the program.
• Calculation – Currently disabled.

Select one Primary and (optionally) one Secondary objective. The primary objective is the main focus of the report and will be emphasized on the report. The secondary objective will also be visible but not as prominent. For example, the primary objective may be Performance Level and the secondary objective may be Raw Score Percent Correct. Performance reports will emphasize score groups (with colors) defined in the Performance Level objective, while the secondary objective provides the score used to determine the performance levels.

You may define additional objectives that feed data to the primary or secondary objectives shown on the reports.

You can set up the Individual Student Results report on the ISR Settings tab. The ISR settings can be modified at any time, even during test taking. The ISR report can be accessed from the Performance Report: drill down to the class level, and then select View ISR from the more menu. At the top of the report, you can select a student in the class.

The following general settings are available:

• Report Title – Enter a name for the report.
• Report Logo – Optionally, select a logo by browsing or drag-and-drop. The following image file types are supported: JPG, PNG, and GIF.
• Show ID – Show the student ID on the report.
• Show Date of Birth – Show the student's date of birth on the report.
• Show Grade Level – Show the student's grade level on the report.
• Show School Name – Show the student's school name on the report.
• Show District Name – Show the student's district on the report.

After defining the general settings, you can select and configure each section you want to include on the individual student report.

• Add Report Section – Click this button to add a report section. Each section may contain one or more report components. 
• Section Title – Enter a name for the report section.
• Add Report Component – Click this button to add a report component to a section. You can add one or more components to a section. For each component, select a single Content Area, one or more Test Windows, and an Objective (database field).

The following components can be added to the ISR:

• External Named – Only supports external data (currently TestNav). The External Objective is from TestNav data, such as scaled score.
• Growth – Shows a graph with performance over time. For performance levels, score groups will appear as background colors on the chart. Supports both ADAM and external data from TestNav.
• Metadata Performance – Similar to the Growth report but using a grouping of items, such as reading comprehension or writing ability. Supports ADAM data only. 
• Outcome Table – Only supports external data from TestNav. You can build a table with up to 2 columns and as many rows as needed.
• Score and Performance – Shows the scaled score and a bar with colors for each performance level. Select the checkboxes to show test information, score group summary statements, and school and district averages. Supports ADAM data only.
• Score with Bar – Only supports external data from TestNav. Similar to the Score and Performance component but with an objective from TestNav data.
• Simple Level Output – Select a Performance Level Objective. Supports ADAM data only.
• Text – Use this component to share text information, including links Enter a Heading and text or links in the Content area.

Note: If data does not exist for an ISR component you have defined, it will not appear on the report.
