Troubleshooting Common Issues

Workspace Not Loading

Confirm you’re logged into the Pack Portal and have the correct permissions.

Missing Permissions

Contact the Office of Accreditation and Assessment to request access or role changes.

Upload Errors

Ensure your file name does not contain special characters.
Try uploading from a different browser if issues persist.

Dashboard Not Displaying Data

Confirm that your program has completed mapping and entered outcomes.
Dashboards may take time to update after new data is entered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit findings after submission?
Yes, but only during the active reporting window. Contact the assessment office if you need access outside that timeframe.

How do I know if my outcomes are mapped correctly?
Use the Mapping menu or check within the Outcomes, Methods, and Findings section. Dashboards will reflect mapped outcomes.

Who reviews my End of Cycle Summary?
The Peer Review Committee evaluates summaries using a standardized rubric every two years.

What if I have multiple workspaces?
Your role may span multiple programs. Use the workspace selector at the top of the Nuventive interface to switch views.

Accessibility Tips

Nuventive is web-based and generally compatible with screen readers, but some dashboard visualizations may not be fully accessible.
Use keyboard navigation for form fields and menus.
When uploading documents, ensure they are accessible (e.g., tagged PDFs, alt text for images).
