South Dakota Compensation Website
“How To Edit” 

Here is the basic information you need to update your school district information. You may print this page to use as a reference. Also, if you are using a Windows computer you can use Alt-Tab to toggle back and forth between this page and the compensation pages.
 

Step 1: Log In
To log in you can click either on the "Create User" or "Edit Information" button from the menu bar.
 

Step 2: Change your Username and Password.
If you have not already done this, then on the main form click on the "Create User" button. This is on the right end of the top menu line of the Main form.

All school districts start off with their district name as the username and password. It is HIGHLY Recommended that you change this.  Otherwise people could guess your username and password.
 

Step 3: Edit the School Information.

A) The most important step each year:
The Salary Survey has been redesigned to store each information year after year. So, the first step you HAVE to do is enter the new contract year.

On the Edit Information menu click on the "Set Contract Date" choice. This will take you to a form where you enter the starting and ending year of the contract. 

You do this only once per year.

Once you have set up the contract year, to edit the information for your school district click on the "Edit Information" button on the menu. A list of pages will appear. You can click here to go to a help page that briefly describes each edit page.

The Three Most Important Things to Remember About Editing
A) On each edit page there is an "Edit" button or link. You MUST click that to start the edit process.

B) After you click Edit the page will reload. You will now see an "Update" button. To save your changes you MUST click the Update button after you make your changes.

C) Next to the "Update" button or link is a "Cancel" button. If you want to get rid of all your changes you can click the "Cancel" button.

You can click here for a  more detailed guide that uses screen shots to illustrate the process. Also, if you want there is a help page which shows you each item on the "Edit Information" button and the related page.


The rest of this page will give you a quick overview of how to edit school district information and how to manage the users who can edit information on behalf of your district.
