WISE Application Release Notes

WISEdata Portal: Modify Course Titles and Descriptions

When the Roster: Courses export was downloaded as an .xls file, a special character was appearing in the Excel file (—) in places where a long dash (—) was typed into a course title or description (e.g., Health Care Sciences—School-based Enterprise was displaying as Health Care Sciences — School-based Enterprise).

The file type was adjusted, and the export now reads legibly.

WISEdata Portal: Alerts Screen Ack/Unack Buttons

The ‘Acknowledge’/’Unacknowledge’ buttons on the WISEdata Portal Alerts screen were refreshing the screen content, but the buttons were not switching status once clicked. This bug has been fixed, and the buttons are correctly switching status once clicked to align with screen content.

WISEdata Portal: Bug Fixes to New CTE Exports

The Career Connected High School (CCHS) export and the College and Career Ready (CCR) export in WISEdata Portal were not visible when the 2023-24 school year was selected in WISEdata Portal. They are now visible for the 2023-24 school year and onwards.

• Both exports now display the programs listed below as Work Based Learning (WBL) Programs:
• State Co-op Ed. Skill Standards - DPI Employability Skills
• State Co-op Ed. Skill Standards - DPI Occupational
• State Co-op Ed. Skill Standards - DPI Youth Leadership
• Youth Apprenticeship

WISEid/WISEstaff Updates

WISEid: User Guide updates

The Advanced Search Feature within the WISEid User Guide has been published. New for the 2024-25 school year, users can now refine the results of the WISEid Person Search with an Advanced Search. You can only reach the Advanced Search tool by conducting a standard Person Search first.

The Match Review section of the WISEid User Guide has also been updated. Only records uploaded without a WISEid in a person file upload are put through a match review process. The match review process is done to try and find an existing, matching WISEid. The match review process has been refined for the 2024-25 school year to reduce the amount of scrolling and clicking, allowing you to see results much more clearly and quickly.

The WISEid Files and Templates webpage has also been updated for the 2024-25 school year.
