Add a Content Standard or SOCK

  1. Select either the Standards tab or the SOCKS tab.

  1. To add a new Level 1 standard or SOCK, click Add New and skip to step 4.

  2. To add a standard or SOCK at any level, hover over the name of the standard/SOCK for which you wish to add a child or sibling. Additional action buttons appear.

    Do one of the following:

    • To add a content standard/SOCK at the same level (that is, a sibling), click Add Sibling button.

    • To add a content standard at the level below (that is, a child), click Add Child button. Child SOCKs are supported but not used.

  3. Using Table 11 as a reference, enter the field values for the new standard or SOCK row that is displayed at the specified level.

  4. Click Save. A window appears, displaying the row you added, along with its parent, if applicable.

  5. To continue, click Next. ITS validates the additions to ensure no validation issues are generated.

  6. If validation issues are generated, the issues are listed in the pop-up window. Fix any errors and click Next. ITS presents the items or tests affected by the additions.

  7. To continue saving the new standard or SOCK, click Save. A confirmation message appears, indicating that the standard or SOCK has been successfully added. Click OK.
