__**Make your data work for you… Troubleshooting thru data mining…**__
Troubleshooting through data mining. Troubleshooting requires a methodical approach that will point the PowerSchool Administrator to one of several remediation processes. Some may be as simple as having a staff member correct something in the portal while others may require data management by the Administrator or Pearson. How do you determine which process to follow? This session will lead the way by presenting a methodical approach using data mining principles. Attendees will have knowledge of DDE, match function, exporting to Excel and pivot tables.
