Adding Students with Temporary IDs

You can add students in TIDE with temporary IDs. This is especially useful if you have a new student who needs to be added in TIDE for screening, but whose TSDS ID is not available at the time. Once the student's TSDS ID becomes available, you can edit the temporary ID and replace it with the student's real TSDS ID.

To assign a temporary ID to a student for screening:

1.From the Student Information task menu on the TIDE dashboard, select Add Students With Temporary ID. The Add Students With Temporary ID page appears. For more information about using record forms, see the section Navigating Record Forms.

2.Fill out the form in the same process as described in Adding Students.

3.Click Save. A confirmation message is displayed that includes the student’s temporary ID.

4.Click Continue to return to the Add Students With Temporary ID page.

You can retrieve the student’s record using the Find Student by ID feature (see Finding Students by ID or Users by Email Address) or from the View/Edit/Export Student page (see Viewing and Editing Students) to view and edit the student’s details and provide the student’s real TSDS ID.
