titleHow do I CREATE A LOCAL accommodation?
Creating+a+Local+Accommodation.mp4

From time to time you may have an external accommodation that is sent from the vendor that does not have a specific match in TestHound. If this happens you may need to create a local accommodation. This will allow you to match the incoming external accommodation to a locally created TestHound accommodation.

Clickon the Accommodations tab in your District Management Menu. Then select New.

Next, select the desired subject(s).

Select the Type of accommodation.

Then you will need to type what the accommodation is in the Title box. Then click submit.

The locally created accommodation will then show in the main accommodations list.

Click on the Auto Pilot link to navigate back to Auto Pilot and the local accommodation will show in the Test Accommodations list to be selected for mapping.

*Best practice is to use the TestHound accommodations that are initially created in the system, and utilize AP notes to add any additional information. However, on rare occasion there may be times when you need to create a local accommodation using the steps above.

titleWhat updates were made for TELPAS in Auto Pilot? (NEW! TELPAS accommodations added)
TELPAS+Accommodations+Jan+4.mp4

  • NEW! TELPAS Accommodations (TX) have been added in Auto Pilot. Districts can now map any incoming TELPAS accommodations from their vendors to TestHound. This may require deleting previously null/voided accommodations and remapping them to the new accommodations. If your vendor sends accommodations for TELPAS, you may need to adjust your map to associate these with the new TELPAS accommodations in TestHound.

  • The DTC will see a Last Published Date on the AP landing page beside each map name

  • Ability to export the mapping table to an Excel file

  • Add accommodations to students from multiple vendors

  • Lockdown accommodations for students updated via Auto Pilot

  • The ability to turn off vendor notes

  • Being able to search the map for external accommodations or TestHound mappings

  • Mapping more than one external accommodation to one TestHound accommodation simultaneously.

  • Downloading the vendor file to aid in researching errors.

  • Mapping partial data from the vendor file and publishing that to campuses while waiting to map the other data.

*Note: If your accommodations vendor is not providing TELPAS accommodations and you wish to use the same accommodations received for reading, you can map the reading accommodations to TELPAS.

titleWhy do I have a CLICK ME error in Auto Pilot and how do I clear out?

This error occurs when the accommodations vendor is sending accommodations for students assigned to a campus (i.e. 121) that your district does not have listed in TestHound. The vendor is placing the students whose id numbers are listed on the non-existent campus. To resolve this issue, you’ll need to contact the accommodations vendor and ask them to stop sending data for campus (i.e. 121), as the campus does not exist in your district, which will clear the error.

However, if campus i.e. 121 is an actual campus in your district, you'll need to add it to TestHound, which will also resolve the error.
