In Elevate K-12 Analytics Admin Settings, you can create and assign custom assessment periods and assign assessments to the custom periods. This allows you to distinguish commonly named assessments given at different times, and enables the tracking of data across assessment periods. You can assign assessment periods to individual assessments, or you can bulk assign a filtered group of multiple assessments.
Note: Custom assessment periods is an optional feature. If you wish to have it turned on for your district or school, contact your Customer Success Manger (CSM).
