Introduction Introduction What s New in 2015 16 for the Test Operations Management System (TOMS) Adding and Managing Users Feature Username New user roles Secondary local educational agency (LEA) CAASPP coordinator role Batch upload Reset passwords Change A TOMS username is the user s e-mail address. User roles have expanded; see Table 1 on page 6 of this manual or the User Roles in TOMS Web page at http://www.caaspp.org/ administration/toms/toms-users.html for a complete list of California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) user roles. LEA superintendents may designate secondary LEA CAASPP coordinator(s) who will be given the same access to TOMS and other CAASPP systems as the LEA CAASPP coordinator and will receive the same CAASPP communications as the primary LEA CAASPP coordinator as long as they provide the requisite forms. Upload a.csv file of your users directly in TOMS. A user can reset his or her own password by requesting a new password if he or she has forgotten a permanent password, or a different temporary password if he or she never logged on using the temporary password that was sent initially. Passwords for users can also be reset by LEA CAASPP coordinators in the TOMS user interface. About This Manual 1.

Data displayed on the Web pages or forms shown as examples in this manual are for demonstration purposes only. 3. Web pages may appear slightly different under Macintosh, using various versions of Windows, or because of differences in browsers or browser versions. About TOMS TOMS is a secure site that permits LEA CAASPP coordinators to perform a number of tasks for the CAASPP assessment system, which comprises the Smarter Balanced online summative assessments, the California Alternate Assessments, the remaining paper-pencil tests in science, and the remaining paper-pencil Standards-based Tests in Spanish in reading/language arts. LEA CAASPP coordinators will be able to perform the following tasks in TOMS: Manage the LEA s testing windows; Verify contact and address information, including delivery and e-mail addresses; Updated April 12, 2016 2015 16 TOMS Adding and Managing Users Guide 1

Introduction Note: If your mailing address is incorrect, you need to contact your California School Directory (CSD) coordinator to update this address on the CSD. Add and configure online student test settings (accommodations, designated supports) and indicate which students are taking which science and/or reading/language arts paper-pencil tests; and Manage CAASPP user access to TOMS. Adding and Managing Users in TOMS Add Users LEA CAASPP coordinators must add CAASPP test site coordinators and may add other user roles to TOMS to enable the designated users to administer, monitor, and manage the online Smarter Balanced summative and interim assessments. Table 1 on page 6 contains a list of definitions for the user roles. You should refer to the LEA s privacy policy regarding student information when making decisions about user roles. CAASPP test site coordinators may add test administrators, test examiners, test administrators & test examiners, Interim Assessment Administrators, and Educators at the test site to TOMS. TOMS User Roles LEA CAASPP Coordinator Test Site Coordinator Test Administrator Test Examiner Test Administrator & Test Examiner IA Administrator Only Educator District Educator Test Site Educator Roster Note: Persons occupying the roles of test examiner and test administrator & test examiner must be licensed or credentialed employees only. Each user can be assigned one TOMS account, no matter how many different LEAs or test sites they are associated with. Users who require access to TOMS on behalf of multiple LEAs or test sites can have the same e-mail username for each assignment. Figure 1 shows an example of a hierarchy in which one user has roles at multiple locations.

Introduction The LEA superintendent may add additional personnel within the LEA that will be granted LEA CAASPP coordinator level access to TOMS by completing the Superintendent Designation Form. The secondary LEA CAASPP coordinator(s) will be added as a user after he or she submits the electronic Security Agreement. The primary LEA CAASPP coordinator will bear overall responsibility for all of the added users within his or her LEA. The appointment of a secondary LEA CAASPP coordinator affords extended TOMS access only. Secondary LEA CAASPP coordinators do not have additional responsibilities with the California Department of Education or CalTAC. Manage Security It is the responsibility of the LEA CAASPP coordinators to have, on file at the LEA, a signed CAASPP Test Security Agreement from each CAASPP test site coordinator to whom access has been granted. It is the responsibility of each CAASPP test site coordinator to have, on file at the school, a CAASPP Test Security Affidavit from each test administrator, test examiner, or other staff member to whom access to systems has been granted. Forms are linked on the CAASPP Forms Web page at http://www.caaspp.org/administration/forms/. CAASPP test site coordinators should contact their LEA CAASPP coordinators if they have questions about accessing or using TOMS. Test administrators, test examiners, test administrators & test examiners, and other school staff should contact their CAASPP test site coordinator if they have questions about accessing or using TOMS. Reset Passwords LEA CAASPP coordinators can reset passwords for their CAASPP test site coordinators. CAASPP test site coordinators should contact their LEA CAASPP coordinators directly for this service. CAASPP test site coordinators can reset passwords for the test administrators, test examiners, and other staff at their schools. Staff should contact their CAASPP test site coordinators directly for this service. Note that all users can reset their own existing passwords by following the instructions in the Passwords, Access, and Logon Manual. TOMS Requirements TOMS supports the following Web browsers: Internet Explorer 10 and above Mozilla Firefox 10 and above Google Chrome 41 and above Safari 5 and above Google Android (all) ipad Safari (all) System functionality and screen displays may operate or appear different due to different browser and operating system capabilities. The TOMS Web site is optimal when viewed using a resolution of 1280 x 1024. Important: While it is possible to open more than one browser tab or window at a time, only one session of any module of TOMS should be open in a browser tab or browser application window for editing at one time. Updated April 12, 2016 2015 16 TOMS Adding and Managing Users Guide 3

Introduction Gaining Access to TOMS LEA CAASPP coordinators may access this module permitting them to add and manage test site users only after the proper designation and security forms have been submitted to the California Technical Assistance Center (CalTAC): the Superintendent s Designation of LEA CAASPP Coordinator for the 2015 16 School Year ; and the 2015 16 CAASPP Test Security Agreement for LEA CAASPP Coordinators and CAASPP Test Site Coordinators. These electronic forms are linked on the Web page at http://www.caaspp.org/administration/forms/. After these forms are submitted, the LEA CAASPP coordinator will receive an e-mail to verify his or her username (which is the user s e-mail address) and temporary password from caaspp@ets.org that will allow access to TOMS. During times of high volume, logon credentials may take as long as two business days to arrive. Note: If necessary, ask your e-mail administrator to white list the e-mail address caaspp@ets.org to ensure you receive your logon credentials. 4 2015 16 TOMS Adding and Managing Users Guide Updated April 12, 2016

Adding and Managing Users CAASPP test site coordinators can download the template from caaspp.org and enter users and roles manually. 1. LEA CAASPP coordinators should coordinate with CAASPP test site coordinators to decide who will be uploading user information because if a user has already been assigned a role, that user can no longer be included in an upload (and must be changed manually). 2. LEA CAASPP coordinators can submit only user information for schools within their LEA. CAASPP test site coordinators can submit only user information for their school. Edit the File of Past Users If you received a.csv file of users of the 2014 15 version of TOMS as an attachment in an e-mail from CalTAC, you can manually add and delete users from it and then upload the updated file into TOMS. (LEA CAASPP coordinators who did not receive a.csv file of past users from CalTAC can contact CalTAC by phone at 800-955-2954 or by e-mail at caltac@ets.org to request one to make edits to the list of past users.) These users, while included in the 2015 16 version of TOMS, are considered inactive until you activate them either via batch upload or using the one-by-one method. While a.csv file is best updated using Notepad or another plain-text editor, you can update it in Microsoft Excel provided you save it as a.csv file. See Appendix A for the specifications of the.csv file. Create the File from the Blank Template 1.
