ion has a pre-defined list of common CBM's. To view the CBM's in the library, click the "book" icon in the upper right hand corner of the CBM panel.

A dialog will appear offering a list of CBM's available in the libray.

To add a CBM, click the Plus icon next to the name.

CBM's are logically divided into two "parts" - the CBM (typically - the vendor's name - such as AIMSWeb or FastBridge) - and the Measure. Before a measure can be created - a CBM (vendor) record must be created. They are hierarchical.

To create a new CBM - click the plus at the top of the CBM panel.

A dialog will appear. Fill in the CBM Name, select the CBM Type, and be sure to mark it "Active."

Click "Save."

After clicking "Save" - the new CBM will appear in the list. To add a new measure, hover over the cog icon, and click the green Plus.

At a minimum, enter the Measure Name on the Measure Editor (see below) panel, and click "Save."

Components of the Measure Editor

1. Measure Name: The name of the measure.
2. Measure Code: If available, the EXACT (case-sensitive) code used by the vendor for the measure. If ion is syncing data - this code is required to match data in the export files with data in ion.
3. Source: Where is the data coming from.
   1. Web (Default): Data is coming either from the Web (app) or a file.
   2. Weekly Attendance: When selected, ion will capture weekly attendance from the attendance tables and enter it into a plan as a CBM.
   3. Course Grades: When selected, ion will capture weekly course grades from the assessment tables and enter it into a plan as a CBM.
4. Assessment: In some cases, CBMs may also be entered as Benchmark Scores. Linking a CBM to an assessment will give users the opportunity to mark a Progress Monitor as a benchmark - and have it populate into data walls.
5. Use Errors: Activates the "Errors" text box on Progress Monitoring and Group Checkin Pages. Will chart errors on CBM graphs in a plan.
6. Use Accuracy: Activates the "Errors" text box on Progress Monitoring and Group Checkin Pages. Will chart accuracy on CBM graphs in a plan.
7. Hide: Use this checkbox to hide a measure. No data will be deleted. The measure simply won't be available in any drop-downs.
8. Points: Consider scores as points.
9. Default Skill: When importing data from a progress monitoring source (EasyCBM, FastBridge, etc) - ion will attempt to link data in the file with data in a plan. If a plan (or associated skill) does not exist, ion will create one. Select the skill that should be created by default when ion encounters CBM data that does not have a plan or skill built.
10. Display Percentile Bands: By default, ion displays the 25, 50, 75th percentile bands on a CBM graph. You may override by entering percentile cut sccores in reverse numerical order, one per line.
11. Norms Tab
12. Goal Tab: To establish a custom goal form for this CBM, use this panel.
