Refer to http://www.naviance.docufide.com/edocs/ts16.shtml for troubleshooting tips. The test link has failed. What do I do? A test link failure indicates a firewall or proxy server is blocking the test transmission being sent by the Client. If this occurs, you can pass the information included below to your school’s IT department to resolve the issue. Make sure the firewall permits Internet traffic through the SSL secure port 443. If your firewall uses a whitelist, configure it to allow send/report by the Client application. Also, any packet filtering performed on the network should allow inbound and outbound traffic to the eDocs server, IP address = 207.178.213.163 (upload.docufide.com). If Internet traffic is routed through a proxy server, configure the Client to send through the proxy server by following the steps listed below. 1. Double-­‐click the Client padlock icon in the System Tray to open the Client User Interface. 2. Select the Proxy Server tab, click the checkbox labeled Use proxy server for your LAN, and enter the proxy server IP address and port in the fields provided. 3. Click OK to close the Client UI. After completing any necessary firewall or proxy server configuration, try the link test again. If the link test is successful, proceed to the next step; sending test transcripts to verify full Client program functionality.

Why would I opt out of the Common App integration? If you do not want to use eDocs for the 2011-­‐2012 school year, you are able to opt out of the Common App integration in order to use the Common App Online website as you have in previous years. Note: This is only recommended for schools NOT planning to use eDocs. How do I opt out of the Common App integration? To opt out of the Common App integration, follow the steps listed below. 1. Go to Setup > Preferences > eDocs 2. Click the opt out link How do I get a list of colleges that are electronic submission and ones that are paper submission (mail)? The Application Manager will show a list of schools your students are applying to. If you sort by Delivery Type, the list will sort based on the submission type (i.e., Common App, electronic, paper). There are three icons that indicate the submission types. Computer screen with “CA” on it – a Common App college Blank computer screen – a Docufide college (electronic submission) Postage stamp – Paper (does not accept electronic transcripts) You can view a list of all the electronic destinations by going to a student’s eDocs folder and clicking the link View Naviance eDocs Destinations or using the link included below. www.docufide.com/hp2/general/edocs_destinations.jsps How do I find last year’s documents? To find documents that were uploaded during last year’s submission season, go to the student’s eDocs tab from the student’s folder and click the Previous Year link. How do I reset the FERPA waiver? You can reset the FERPA waiver and allow your students to complete the form again only if you have not submitted documents through eDocs to Common App. Once forms have been submitted to Common App, the FERPA waiver cannot be reset. To reset the FERPA waiver, follow the steps listed below. 1. Display the student folder for the student whose consent you need to reset. 2. Click the eDocs tab – you will be on the Prepare Forms page. 3. Click the Reset Consent link. 4. When asked to confirm, click OK.

How do I delete colleges from the student’s application list? Once school forms are sent to a college via eDocs, that college cannot be deleted from the student’s active application list. This is to prevent technical difficulties that can arise if an application is accidently deleted after materials have been submitted electronically. If a student is no longer applying to a college, we recommend that you cancel the application. To cancel the application, follow the steps listed below. 1. From the student’s profile, click the Colleges tab. 2. Check the box next to the college you are canceling. 3. Select Cancel Applications from the Select app and: drop-­‐down menu. 4. Click Go. Does the school profile get uploaded for all students? Yes. Why doesn’t the student’s account match with Common App? This occurs when the student does not enter the correct information for the FERPA agreement. A lot of students enter the Family Connection login information and not the Common App login information. If the student is sure the correct information was entered, contact Naviance Support at 866.337.0080, option 2 or [email protected]. Be prepared to provide the student’s Common App username and password so the situation can be investigated. Why does it say the Common App school is not in the student’s list? The ‘Not in List’ message appears because the two accounts (Naviance and Common App) have not been matched on the Send Forms page. Go to eDocs > Send Forms. There will be a yellow message box displayed. Follow the instructions provided to match your student’s accounts. Once this is done, you should see the Common App status change and be able to submit your student’s forms. If you have already successfully matched the student’s accounts, you will see a link to manually sync the Naviance Send Forms page and the student’s Common App account. Syncing these accounts will provide you will the most up-­‐to-­‐date information and should resolve the Common App status in the student’s profile. How do I complete a NACAC Fee Waiver for my students? Once the student completes his or her application on the Common App website and requests a fee waiver through the Common App, the fee waiver request will show as a special alert below the college name on the Send Forms page. It will only be available using the Detailed View and you must have permission to “Submit SR, OR, MR, FR forms online” to complete the NACAC fee waiver.

How do I change the class size on the SR and other forms? To change the class size manually, you will need to change the school profile information on the NACAC SR by following the steps listed below. 1. Click on the eDocs tab of a student’s profile. 2. Under the Counselor Documents section, select NACAC SR. 3. Click the enter the standard high school profile information link at the top of the screen. 4. Edit the class size at the bottom of the screen. 5. Click Save. Note: When you change the class size on the NACAC SR, it also changes the class size on the Common App SR. Why isn’t the highest GPA showing up on the SR/MR/FR? This is likely because on the student’s SR form, for the question, How do you report Class Rank? you selected, “None.” This selection indicates that you do not report class rank. What is the ED agreement process in eDocs? To send an ED agreement for a student, three parties need to sign the Common App Early Decision Agreement (EDA): the student, parent and counselor. The student and parent will complete this via Common App and you should complete this via the eDocs tab in Naviance Succeed. First, the student will specify in Common App that he or she is applying to a college using the early decision plan. Next, the student will complete his or her part of the EDA in Common App. The student will then invite a parent (via email) to complete the parent portion of the EDA and the parent will do so in Common App. Alternatively, the student will specify that his or her parent does not have an email address, which exempts the parent from completing the EDA. When all three parties have completed the EDA, Naviance will get information from Common App to flag the application as an Early Decision application. This can happen either when the student is first matched or when Naviance runs the nightly process to update student data from Common App. An early decision application will have a special alert on the Send Forms page. If the SR for the application has not been submitted yet, it will be disabled until the EDA has been submitted. If the SR has already been submitted, there will not be a problem for the EDA submission. You will click the link in the ED alert to open the EDA window. When you click the Submit button, the EDA will be immediately submitted to Common App. If the submission is successful, the ED alert will be removed from the application and the SR, if already prepared, will be enabled for submission. You will also see a bullet at the top of the information for that college that states, “An Early Decision agreement has been submitted for this application.” Can I do a batch transcript upload? No, transcripts must be uploaded and matched individually. Why is one of my students not showing up in the student roster? When you notice a student missing from the student roster, update the roster in your Docufide account by following the steps listed below. 1. Log into your Docufide account. 2. Click the Preferences link. 3. Click the eDocs link. 4. Click the Update Student Roster button. Copyright © 2011, Naviance Inc., a Hobsons company.

Does the printer change the format of the transcript? What does it look like? The printer converts the transcript to a PDF. The transcript will look like the original version, in PDF format. What is the cover sheet? The cover sheet is an optional field where introductory text can be entered when uploading a transcript. The cover sheet appears before the transcript when the transcript is sent. Is the transcript official? Yes. Why am I getting a matching error? Generally, a matching error is the result of the student’s name in the roster not being an exact match to the name found in the transcript. For example: -­‐ John vs. Jonathan -­‐ A suffix -­‐ A hyphen -­‐ Student’s date of birth is missing A matching error may also occur if you are scanning the transcript to an image or if your SIS produces an image of the transcript before selecting File > Print. If the transcript is an image, Naviance eDocs may have difficulty parsing the name from the file. How do I clear transcript mismatches? If there is a transcript mismatch, you will receive a notification on the Home page in Succeed. To resolve the transcript mismatch, follow the steps listed below. 1. Click the Matched link in the eDocs Alert box. 2. Compare the name in Succeed with the name on the transcript. 3. If it is the correct transcript, select the Match To radio button. You can also Skip or Discard at this point if it is not the correct transcript or you are not ready to resolve the issue. 4. Click Next. 5. You will see a summary of the transcripts that have been successfully matched. 6. The alert on the home page will disappear if there are no transcripts that need to be matched. How do I upload a Transfer Transcript? You must have the latest Docufide Client/eDocs Printer version 5.2.5. Follow the steps outlined in How do I send a test transcript? but select one of the following as the Document Type: Transcript 1, Transcript 2, Transcript 3.

Can I upload a recommendation for the teacher(s)? Yes, but this is not recommended. You will only be allowed to upload one recommendation per student, per Succeed account. Why am I only allowed to upload one teacher recommendation per student? This is because Succeed has to make the connection with the Common App form. Does the teacher have to do a Common App form? Can I do the form for them? If sending to a Common App college, a Common App form must be included in the submission.

Why can’t I send any documents to a Common App college (the documents are grayed out)? Check the following items: -­‐ The correct documents are uploaded -­‐ The matching with Common App has occurred -­‐ The student has added the college to his or her list in Common App Note: The required documents for a Common App initial submission are SR, Written Evaluation, Transcript and School Profile. If you are sending midyear documents, a transcript and Common App MR are required. For final, a transcript and FR are required. Also, you must send the initial documents before midyear documents which must be submitted before final. How do I know if the college has received the documents I submitted? There are two ways to view the submission status for a student: 1. In the student’s eDocs tab, click the Submission Status link. This provides the report for an individual student. 2. In the College Reports section, view the eDocs Online Application Form Submission Status report. This report provides a list of all your students. What do the submission statuses mean? Submitting – The form is being submitted to Common App or Docufide. Submitted – The form was submitted from Naviance eDocs and is awaiting receipt confirmation by either the Common App or Docufide system. This status will be displayed if you submitted the form within the same day that you are viewing this report or if the college is a Common App destination and the student no longer has the college in his or her list on the Common App website. Delivered – The date the form was delivered to either the Common App or Docufide system. Exported/Downloaded – The date the form was marked as exported by the college. Printed – The date the form was marked as printed by a Common App college. Expired – The college has not downloaded a document 60 days after it was submitted. Docufide will remove the college’s ability to download. Why do some of the submissions have a tracking ID while others do not? Docufide colleges give a submission confirmation ID that you can use to track documents within the Docufide system. There is not a confirmation ID for Common App or paper destinations. Error 3026 The 3026 error occurs when duplicate submissions are sent to Common App. When one of these submissions goes through successfully, the duplicate submission generates the error. Do no attempt to resubmit for 3026 errors until you have consulted the submission status page and checked for a successful submission 24 to 48 hours after you receive the failed message.
