Creating and Using Snapshots

Creating Snapshots

Snapshots are created in the AE&R tab of a Learner's E-Portfolio and allow you to capture and save your ratings at a particular time. A snapshot creates a static view of the aggregate ratings you mark in AE&R. Snapshots are saved so you can view them later.

1. After you have applied ratings in the AE&R screen, click Create Snapshot.
   
   
2. Enter a short, descriptive name for the snapshot in the create snapshot window.
   
   
3. If desired, remove evidence or historical ratings by deselecting options.
   
   
4. You can also directly attach a snapshot to a Meeting Activity by selecting the meeting from the drop-down.
   
   
   
   Helpful Hint: Select the highlighted section to not include evidence and ratings that have not been shared in the Snapshot.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Click the Ratings & Snapshots button to specify the evidence and historical data you wish to display. Then click Apply.
   
   Helpful Hint: You can also use this button to view and delete your snapshots by toggling to the Snapshots tab.
   
   
6. Click Create Snapshot to complete the snapshot or click Cancel to exit the process.
