The Outcomes Library stores all outcomes, excluding PLO or CLO levels; this includes outcomes for Institutions, Colleges, Departments, External (Accreditor), Administrative Divisions, and Administrative Units. Outcomes can be grouped into outcome sets, which can be associated with programs and related to Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) or mapped directly to courses and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). Outcome sets can also be included in Data Collection for assessment planning and reporting. Utilization of the Outcomes Library is limited to Institution, College, and Department Admins.

Outcome Set Statuses
|
Draft |
When an outcome set is first created, it will be in Draft status. In this status, edits can be performed via the Details and Outcome Designer pages. Via the Outcome Set Homepage, Publish can be clicked to transition an outcome set to Published status. 
|
|
Published |
In Published status, no edits can made to the Details or Outcome Designer pages. To perform edits to a published outcome set, Revise can be clicked via the Outcome Set Homepage to transition an outcome set to In Revision status. 
Once in revision, the Outcome Sets Library will display two versions of the same outcome set, one in Published status and one in In Revision status. 
If the published version is viewed for an outcome set that is currently in revision, Go to In Revision Version can be clicked via the Outcome Set Homepage to navigate to perform edits. 
|
|
In Revision |
While in In Revision status, edits can be made to the Details page except for the Outcome Set field(s) used to define the outcome set type. During revision, edits can be made to associated outcomes via the Outcome Designer page. Once edits are complete, revised outcome sets can be published via the Outcome Set Homepage by clicking Publish. Product Tip Revising outcome sets will not affect previously collected assessment data. To update associated programs with revised and republished outcome sets, the Program Outcome Sets page should be updated for each associated program.
