Strive
For Appraisal Administrators:
Archive goals and evaluations at the end of each year.
Use the Strive Setup Checklist to evaluate your processes and determine if any changes need to be made after the archive is complete.
For Professional Learning Administrators:
Import and export portfolios with a WXE file.
Note: User Portfolios can be exported to a WXE file from one district and imported into another district. If users are leaving the district they may request a copy of their Portfolio WXE file to take with them. New users to your district might bring their WXE file from their previous district for you to import.
Update elements in your system, including categories and training locations. Add new credit types and instructors and guests as needed.
Warning: Do not delete credit types of instructors as deleting credit types can impact historical data.
eCourses continue until you archive them. Archive eCourses or copy and open them as new courses for the new year.

Run roles and rights reports and check the Roles and Rights Spreadsheet to set user roles and rights aligned to district policies.
Warning: To avoid a data breach, ensure all district and school administrators have appropriate access to information pertinent to their role for each application.
Review your schools and departments list to create schools and departments or free up licensing by merging and closing schools and departments.
Warning: Deleting schools can affect some data and may cause data loss. Instead, retire irrelevant information with a name change.
