Article summary

Assigned outcome matrices present program outcomes, core abilities, general education outcomes and external standards assigned to courses in the program (program map).   Most matrices will print to the page.   Sometimes very large matrices (usually external standard reports) need to be sent to the report queue for processing.   

1

Select the number of columns needed for the report.  Many reports can print on letter size paper. If there are more than 30 columns in the report OR if the report is using standard rather than rotated text, select legal size paper.

2

Select the courses to use in the matrix. Selection criteria determine the list that appears under the Select Items header on the report toolbar.  This allows you to select the courses that appear in the matrix or print the matrix by configuration.  

3

Select the header row format.  Rotated text truncates after 40 characters.  If your course titles and numbers are more than that, select standard text.

4

Enter a document title and select a document type from the dropdown list.

5

Make your selections using the Show/Hide Options selector.  By default, external standards are usually turned off for the matrix reports.  Turn them on to print them, or turn off other related outcomes that are not needed.

6

Click Send to Report Queue. WIDS generates the report while you continue working and saves it in the Documents tab, My Program Documents page for this project. It can take several minutes for the report to generate. You will receive an email and WIDS notification when the report is ready. Rotated text appears only in PDF and Word reports.
