When outcome sets are in Draft or In Revision status, outcomes can be added or edited via the Outcomes Designer page accessed via the Outcome Set Homepage. Outcomes can be added or edited manually via the platform interface (1), and while in any status, the Outcomes Designer page can be exported (2) to PDF format or printed.

Editing Outcomes

💡

Product Tip

Revising outcome sets will not affect previously collected assessment data. The Program Outcome Sets page should be updated for each associated program to update the associated programs with revised and republished outcome sets.

Outcomes can be edited until an outcome set is published. Once published, if revision occurs, the name, code, and description of an outcome cannot be edited. Instead, it must be copied to make edits to a previously published outcome; from there, edits can be made to the copy.

  1. To make a copy of an outcome to accommodate edits, navigate to Outcome Set Homepage > Outcome Designer and click Revise.

  2. Once the outcome set is in Draft status, select the Outcome Designer from the left-hand menu and click Edit.

    1. Because previously published outcomes cannot be edited, click the Copy function to create a duplicate of an outcome.

    2. Once an outcome is copied, the copy will display at the bottom of the Outcome Designer, and the original outcome code will be amended with ‘copy’ (1). Edits can be made to the code, name, and description by clicking the pencil icon for each field (2).
