If you are new to Arbor or are changing your Arbor Assessments to the HFL Education Easy Tracking Assessment model, the guidance document DMS218 will take you through how to set up this for the first time.

NB: The dates for Assessment Periods (on page 5) may not be within the current academic year or the dates you wish to use for your data collection periods, so you may need to change these appropriately. It is however strongly recommended that there are no gaps between these periods, the dates must NOT overlap, and your Endpoint end date must be on the last day of term.

Setting up Easy Tracking Arbor Assessments for the new Academic Year 

Arbor will not automatically carry forward a previous year’s Assessments into a new academic year. There is a process available to copy last year’s Assessments into the new year. Guidance for this process can be found in DMS316.
