As the Business Unit Administrator (BU Admin), you manage the diagnostics for your business unit (Figure 1). Business units tend to be a school district or principal preparation program but can be any group of participants (school leaders; e.g., principals, heads of schools, and assistant principals). As the BU Admin, you have the responsibility to:

  1. Invite participants
  2. Manage your business unit’s seats
  3. Deactivate or activate your participants
  4. Review your participants’ results

I. Invite Participants

There are three steps to invite a person to take the Diagnostic of Educational Leadership Practice.

  1. Invite new participants
  2. Verify (or modify) your invitation
  3. Send the invitation email

Step 1. Invite New Participants

To invite school leaders to take the diagnostic, click the action button “Invite New Participants” (Figure 3).

Step 2. Verify (or Modify) Your Invitation

After clicking the “Invite New Participants” button, select your product (diagnostic) and the screen will show the system-generated email (Figure 4). It can be modified by writing over the system-provided language. Do NOT delete the “Available data field” merge codes displayed as ${…}, e.g., ${linkInvite}.

After modifying and sending the invitation, the message will default to the original language. Although you cannot save your changes, you can modify the language each time.

Step 3. Send the Invitation Email

In the space shown below, you can either:

  • Type each participant’s email address, separating them by comma, semicolon, space, or line break.
  • Cut and paste the list of participant email addresses into the text field (Figure 5).
