Before an organization can take part in a test administration, the organization must indicate its participation in that administration.

Manage Participation for a Single Organization

To manage participation for a single organization, follow these steps:

  1. From Setup > Organizations, change the Find Organizations setting to ignore participation in your currently selected administration to list all organizations, otherwise all that are listed are those already marked as participating. Search to find and select the organization(s) you are managing or click the down arrow next to the Search button to reveal and select the option to show all results and select the organization(s) from the list.

  2. Open the task list and select Manage Participation. Click Start.

  3. Select an organization from the list at the left of the screen. Select the box next to Participating and click Save. 

    Marking your organization as Participating means that you can create groups in that organization, assign tests to those groups, and assign students in those groups. You cannot participate in a test administration unless you mark this.

    Marking Participation Entry Complete, here or under Manage Completion Statuses, outlined next, indicates both the organization's intent to participate in the test administration and that the organization has finalized any data necessary to participate.

Manage Completion Statuses for Participation or Enrollment Counts for Multiple Organizations at Once

To manage completion status for participation or to manage enrollment counts for multiple organizations at one time, follow these steps:

  1. From Setup > Organizations, search to find and select the organization(s) you are managing or click the down arrow next to the Search button to reveal and select the option to show all results and select the organization(s) from the list. 

  2. Open the task list and select Manage Completion Statuses. Click Start. 

  3. View or change these settings. If you make changes, you must click Save to apply your changes.

    Participation Entry Complete indicates whether your organization has marked whether or not it will participate. This setting is the same as Participation Entry Complete in the first procedure on this page. 

    Enrollment Counts Entry Complete indicates whether the enrollment count information for the test administration has been entered. This setting is the same as Enrollment Counts Entry Complete in Edit Enrollment Counts as described in Manage Paper Tests.
