TIM Tools 7.5 Administration Guide

Using TUPS, TIM-O, TIM-R, and TIM-LP Templates

1. Download (and Save) Your Raw Data

Go to the Admin Center within TIM Tools and select the specific tool you want the data for. Each download area provides options for setting parameters if you don’t want to download the entire data set. For example, the TUPS downloader allows a choice of all surveys or only submitted surveys, frameworks, schools, roles, date range, and whether you want the data anonymized. Once you’ve made your choices, just click the Download button and save the Excel file in a convenient location. (Click adjacent image to expand.)

2. Download (and Open) the Related Template

Go to the Report Templates page. Click the button for the type of template you want. Download and open the template. (Click adjacent image to expand.)

3. Import Your Data into the Template

When you opened the template in step 2, you probably noticed that it was already populated with some sample data for illustrative purposes. To switch to your own data, click the “CHANGE DATA SOURCE” button. This will take you to a sheet from which you can select the file you downloaded and saved in step 1. Your raw data will be imported into the template, replacing the sample data. If you are importing many thousands of records, this may take a moment to process. When it’s finished, the template will now display your own data. (Click adjacent image to expand.)
