The tasks available in the Monitoring Test Progress task menu allow you to generate various reports that provide information about a test administration’s progress.
Plan and Manage Testing Report: Details a student’s test opportunities and the status of those test opportunities. You can generate this report from the Plan and Manage Testing page or the Search Students by TSDS ID page.
Test Completion Rates Report: Summarizes the number and percentage of students who have started or completed a test.
Test Status Code Report: Displays all the non-participation codes for a test administration.
Test Session Status Report: Displays status reports of active and inactive test sessions happening in your district for the current day.
How district-level users view report of students’ current test status
TIDE includes a Plan and Manage Testing report that details all of a student’s test opportunities and the status of those test opportunities.
Because the report lists testing opportunities, a student can appear more than once on the report.
From the Monitoring Test Progress task menu on the TIDE dashboard, select Plan and Manage Testing. The Plan and Manage Testing page appears (refer to Figure 46).
In the Search Students panel, select the parameters for whose information to include in your report:
From the Enrolled Region dropdown list, select a region if applicable.
From the Enrolled District dropdown list, select a district if applicable.
From the Enrolled Campus dropdown list, select a campus if applicable. You may select one or more campuses from this list. You may also select all campuses. If you select more than 20 campuses or if you select all campuses and the district contains more than 20 campuses, the report will only be available to export to the Inbox.
Optional: If a single campus was selected, choose a teacher from the Proctor dropdown list. The Proctor dropdown list includes all campus-level users, such as teachers, test administrators, and principals associated with the selected campus. When you select a person from the Proctor dropdown list, TIDE performs a check to see if the person is associated with any roster. If no rosters exist for the selected person, no data is displayed when you generate the report. If the selected person has an associated roster, the Plan and Manage Testing report shows the test attempts of the students included in the roster.
If you do not select any person from the Proctor dropdown list and use the default value of All to generate the report, you will see all the tests taken in that campus, irrespective of roster associations.
It is important to note that the proctor’s name displayed on the Plan and Manage Testing report does not imply the name of the teacher. The proctor is the person who creates the test session. This can be the same as the teacher or it can mean a different person.
Optional: In the TSDS ID field, enter a TSDS ID.
Optional: In the Student’s Last Name field, enter a student’s last name.
Optional: In the Student’s First Name field, enter a student’s first name.
Optional: From the Grade dropdown list, select a grade. You may select one, multiple, or all grades from this list.
Optional: In the Gender field, select Male or Female.
Optional: In the PEIMS ID field, enter a PEIMS ID.
In the Choose What panel, select the parameters for which tests to include in your report:
Select a Test Type. NOTE: TFAR Teacher Authored Test selection is only for tests created by teachers in the Authoring system. For all other tests, including STAAR, STAAR Alternate 2, TELPAS, TELPAS Alternate, and others, use Texas Provided Tests.
From the Test dropdown list, select a test category.
From the Administration dropdown list, select an administration.
From the Test Name dropdown list, select the test for which you want to generate the report. You may select one, multiple, or all from this list.
Optional: From the Advanced Search panel, select a specific test accommodation or demographic to filter the report. If you select a test accommodation or demographic, a Values filed is displayed. Select the required filter criteria from the available options.
In the Get Specific panel, select the radio button for one of the options and then set the parameters for that option. The following options are available (parameters for each option are listed in {brackets}):
Students who {have/have not} {completed/started} the {1st/2nd/any} opportunity in the selected administration.
Searching for students who have not started the 1st/any opportunity will return results for students who have not started their first opportunity on the selected test.
Students on their {1st/2nd/any} opportunity in the selected administration and have a status of {any/completed/started/paused}.
Search student(s) by {TSDS ID/Name}: {TSDS ID/Student Name}.
Students whose current opportunity will expire {in/between} {number/range} days.
If you select “in,” you may enter any number in the displayed text box to determine tests expiring in the specified number of days. You may also enter “0” to see opportunities that expire that day.
If you select “between,” you may enter two numbers in the displayed text boxes to signify a range of days (such as 1–3).
Students who have a status of {student test status} in the selected administration.
Students whose most recent {Session ID/Test Administrator Name} was {Optional Session ID/Test Administrator Name} between {start date} and {end date}.

How district-level users view report of students’ current test status by student ID
You can also generate participation reports for specific students by TSDS ID. This section describes how to generate participation reports for one or more students using students’ TSDS IDs.
Because the report lists testing opportunities, a student can appear more than once on the report.
From the Monitoring Test Progress task menu on the TIDE dashboard, select Search Students by TSDS ID. The Search Students by TSDS ID page appears (refer to Figure 48).
Do one of the following:
To enter students’ TSDS IDs, select Search by TSDS ID(s). Next, enter one or more TSDS IDs, separated by commas, in the Student IDs field. You can enter up to 1,000 TSDS IDs.
To upload TSDS IDs, select Upload TSDS ID. Next, select Browse and then use the file browser to select a Microsoft Excel or CSV file with Student IDs listed in a single column. You can upload up to 1,000 TSDS IDs.
Select Generate Report. The Participation Report by TSDS ID appears (refer to Figure 48).
For descriptions of the columns in this report, see the table “Columns in the Plan and Manage Testing Report” in the appendix.

How district-level users view test session status reports
District-level users can view status reports of active and inactive test sessions happening in their district for the current day. These reports show how many students in each campus are testing and how many have started, paused, and completed their test.
District-level users can also view campus-level test session status reports for each campus in their district. These reports show each active and inactive session ID for a campus, along with information like proctor name, test name, the start time of the test session, the total number of students taking the test, and the number of students who have started, paused, and completed the test.
From the Monitoring Test Progress task menu on the TIDE dashboard, select Test Session Report. The Test Session Report page appears.
From the Region dropdown list, select an ESC.
From the District dropdown list, select a district.
From the Campus dropdown list, select an individual campus to view a detailed report for that campus or select multiple campuses to view a summary report for the campuses you select. To view a summary report for all campuses in your district, select All Campuses.
Select Generate Report. If you selected an individual campus in Step 4, skip Step 6.
If you selected multiple campuses in Step 4, a summary report page appears. For a description of the columns in this report, refer to the table “Columns in the Summary Session Report Page” in the appendix.
Select a campus from the summary report page to view a detailed report for that campus. If you selected an individual campus in Step 4, a detailed report would appear after you complete Step 5.
