Pulse Administration Best Practices

Updated on

This article will walk through a list of best practices around creating and managing pulses.

Clean up Your Pulse List

At the start of a new school year declutter your Pulse list by Archiving any Pulse(s) that you will not be using this year.

1.  Go to Pulses.

2.  Select the three dots icon for any Pulse(s) you do not plan on repeating/using.

3.  Select Archive.

NOTE:  You can always search for any archived pulses by selecting Archived in the status bar. Learn more about the Pulse List Page by going to:  Pulse List Page

Add a Pulse Window

Add a new Pulse window rather than recreating a previously administered Pulse.  

Example:  The district wants to see longitudinal date across multiple academic years.  Rather than creating a new Pulse with the same questions, you can simply add new Pulse window(s) to continue into the next year.  Read more about it here:  Repeating/Managing Your Pulse Schedule

Clean Up Users

At the beginning of the school year we recommend that system administrators review and update their admin users lists, especially for those users that may be manually managed (e.g. system admins, district admins, and site admins such as principals, counselors, etc). You can find more information here about Manage Users.
