This program will display a heat map based on options selected for Student's Attendance, Attendance Zone, Test Scores, Grades, GPA, Discipline. A heat map is a graphical representation of data where the individual values contained in a matrix are represented as colors. This map will show where the students reside.

Security: In User Management, the user will need a "Category" of SIS/Maintenance and the "Program" will be DMS Mapping - RW.

  1. The map will appear and can be viewed in a Street Map or Satellite layout.
  2. The user will first select a sub-menu from the Options drop down located in the top right corner of the page.
  3. To see the Zones, go to Options -> Attendance Zones and pick the zones you want to view as previously drawn in the DMS System.
  4. The user will choose the criteria in the various setup boxes as shown above. Ex: Students, Attendance, Test Scores, Grades, etc.
  5. Then the results will display with heat spots. For each additional criteria set will result in a different color, starting with purple, then gold, then blue, then red, then aqua, then amber, then green, then fuchsia, then magenta, in that order.
  6. To view a list of students in a specific area of heat spots, use the icons Spot.png located on the top of the screen, drawing a polygon or rectangle around the desired heat spots. Some users prefer the polygon over the square for pinpointing more oddly shaped heat spots. And the hand icon will move around the map to find additional heat spots.
  7. Once that has been done, a list of students will display with student information.
  8. In the Students list, to show more student's information hover over the student's name to access the iGEAR. For more information about the iGEAR follow this link: Using the iGear.
