Snapshots data allows you to “freeze” your data exactly as it existed on a given date. Snapshots data can be used for any type of historical comparison where a begin date and end date is reported to TEA Ed-Fi IODS.
Before you can use Snapshots you must set one or more dates to freeze. You must be an OnDataSuite administrator to set snapshot dates. The screen below illustrates the navigation to the screen to set dates.
Review the instructions on the screen and set the dates you wish to freeze.
- You may create three additional Snapshot dates for reporting.
- Snapshot Dates are options from the Snapshots menu only: Snapshots – Report Center (ad-hoc) and any reports available under the Snapshots menu (Student or Staff).
- Snapshot Dates do NOT apply to any other menus in OnDataSuite (Ex. Student, Assessment, Staff, etc.)
When creating a Snapshots ad-hoc report you will be required to select a Snapshot Date as illustrated below.
