Uploading Test Files in Aware

Prev Next

The Upload Test Files option in the Analysis Settings ( settings ) allows Aware administrators to upload state and national test data. Using the DAT files from state CDs and other sources, districts can upload external test data. Before uploading a test file, review our current list of supported file types.

You can also check the status of imported files done through Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

Note: File history entries that end with an asterisk indicate that the file was imported using the latest version of our importer.

Importing Test Files With SFTP

Test file imports via SFTP should be in the same format as the files you receive from assessment vendors such as the TEA, College Board, and others.

Note: Importing test files via SFTP is only supported with built-in test types. Custom test types are not supported at this time.

You can automate SFTP test imports and view their uploads in your import history under Aware > Analysis Settings (settings) > Upload Test Files > History tab. Visit Access Keys to learn how to connect your SFTP client to run test file imports.

State Test Files

As new state test file formats and new data from those files become available, the Eduphoria development team updates the importer schema to support the new data. Sometimes, districts will need to re-import files to display updated data for analysis.

To re-import a test file, select a file on the History tab, then click the Re-Import File button.
