The Map Standards function allows administrators to copy the supporting narrative and evidence from one standard to another. This is useful when an institution has multiple accreditation standards that contain similar sections, such as the Institution Mission and Goals. By mapping existing content, considerable time can be saved by avoiding the re-keying of duplicate information.

 

Mapping is a copy function which creates a new instance of the narrative and evidence in the target standard.

 

A standard may also be mapped automatically using an import file provided by Concord. This function is used, for example, when updated to a newer version of an agency standard.  

To Map a Standard Manually

1.Select the Target standard

2.Click Submit

3.Select the Source standard (see below if the source standard is in Response mode).

4.Click Submit

5.For each applicable target row/section, select the relevant source using the drop-down

6.When complete, click Submit

Note: Only those target rows that are to be mapped need be identified in the drop-down; the remainder may be left blank.

 

If the source standard is in Response mode, a drop-down is provided to select the cycle to be used for copying narratives and evidence. The drop-down will default initially to the current cycle. You may select other available cycles, including the original submission. If you want to copy evidence from more than one cycle, for example the original submission plus the current response cycle, map using the first required cycle and then map again using the next required cycle and so on; the evidence will be copied cumulatively. Note however that the narrative is not cumulative and is overwritten with the last selected cycle.

To Map a Standard Automatically

1.Click on the import file link

2.Browse for the mapping (.xms) file provided by Concord

3.Check the box if you want the due dates from the source standard copied to the target standard

4.Click Submit

The system will look for the source and target standards defined in the file. If you do not have these loaded on your system the mapping will not function.
