Getting Your Client Started



Now that you have successfully set up your SkillsOne.com account and purchased reports, it is time to direct your clients to your assessment site. If you want to create a unique URL that will give your clients one-click access to the specific assessment you want them to take, create a batch by navigating to Client Management from the top navigation bar and selecting Batch Management. Select Create New Batch. Select an assessment and enter a batch name. If you would like to email your clients a URL that will take them directly to the assessment, then check the box “I want a URL entry point to this assessment.” Then click Submit.

After you have created a URL, you can either click the envelope icon to e-mail the URL to your client, or copy and paste it into your own document. When your client clicks on the URL, he will be sent directly to the assessment.

If you are using the classic assessment access, use the following instructions as a guide.

Download client instructions for taking an assessment

Your Assessment Site is located at
https://online.cpp.com.
  1. Client enters preassigned Login (case sensitive).
  2. Client enters preassigned Password (case sensitive).
  3. User ID is configured for the client upon completion of his or her first assessment (leave blank for now unless a client is returning to resume taking an assessment or to take a different one).
  4. Client clicks BEGIN next to the appropriate assessment. Next, he or she is asked to provide some personal information. (Note: Only first name, last name, and gender are required; all other demographic information is optional.) Client clicks SUBMIT when finished.

    As the administrator you can view client responses to the personal information questions by going to Client Management in the top navigation bar and selecting View User Log.

  5. After completing the assessment, the client clicks DONE. (Note: It is helpful if clients write down the User ID provided upon completion of their first assessment. Having clients use their original User ID for all assessments can simplify tracking of results for the administrator.) To ensure clients are aware that their assessment(s) have been submitted, a dialog box appears that says, "Your consultant has been emailed."

Generating Reports

Overview
  1. Select Generate Reports from the top navigation bar.
  2. Select from the drop-down menu the assessment for which you wish to GENERATE a report.
  3. Select a report to search for all your clients who have completed the assessment, or enter your client last name to search for a single client. If desired, you can narrow your selection by choosing Batch(s) or a date range. Click CONTINUE when you are ready to proceed.
  4. Select the clients you wish to generate reports for and click GENERATE TO PDF.
  5. You have the option to personalize the report cover page. Please type in the Facilitator Name, Company Initials, and Company Name. This information will appear on the cover page of generated reports.
  6. Click the down arrow icon to download the client's report in Adobe® .PDF format to your computer.

    You may also email your clients their results by clicking on the envelope icon. Enter an email address and a short greeting and click SEND EMAIL to send the .PDF-formatted report.

    Note: With .PDF formatting, the report you print looks exactly like the report you see online regardless of what type of computer or browser platform you use. To view a .PDF file, you must have Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® (available as a free download from
    www.adobe.com) or Adobe® Acrobat® installed on your computer.

 

Reported or Verified Type



Reported Type is the type that results from an administration of the MBTI assessment.

Verified Type is the type that you and your client determine to fit best as a result of a standard feedback process.

Note: Reports generated using Verified Type will not include the Preference Clarity Index (PCI) Chart.

 

Batch Management


Client "batching" acts as a filing system, allowing you to group and organize your clients into "folders," and is recommended when you are managing numerous client data files. You may distinguish groups of clients by creating batches with relevant names such as "Workshop01" or a counselor’s name: "Stevenson." Your batch names will appear in a drop-down menu on your personalized assessment site.

Setting up batches helps you manage your data and expedite the process when you are generating reports for groups of clients.

To create a batch, go to Client Management from the top navigation bar and select Batch Management. Select Create New Batch. Select an assessment and enter a batch name. If you would like to email your clients a URL that will take them directly to the assessment, then check the box “I want a URL entry point to this assessment.” Then click Submit.

After you have created a URL, you can either click the envelope icon to e-mail the URL to your client, or copy and paste it into your own document. When your client clicks on the URL, he will be sent directly to the assessment.

If you don’t want to use this feature, you can just leave unchecked the box “I want a URL entry point to this assessment.” You may still create batches as before and your clients may access them at https://online.cpp.com.

To edit a batch, navigate to Batch Management and click on the name of the batch you wish to edit.
