Step-by-Step Instructions
In this video, you’ll get a step by step demonstration of how to submit your annual AES report using Digital Measures.
Who reports: Each project participant should report on his or her individual effort. The project PI should complete an AES report summarizing the combined accomplishments of all participants.
Step 1: Log in to Digital Measures:
-
Using Firefox or Safari, go to https://digitalmeasures.oregonstate.edu/
-
For those of you who have never been here before, let’s take a quick look at the home page.
-
Notice the training tab, full of instructional videos.
-
Find the Digital Measures support contact for your college.
-
Right in the middle of the screen, find the login portal. Your onid credentials will open your profile.
Step 2: Locate and open the reporting screen:
-
The landing page for Digital Measures has a number of sections, each with its own reporting screens. Sections include general information, teaching, outreach and engagement, scholarship/research/creativity, and service.
-
Find the AES report screen in the Scholarship/Research/Creativity section. Click on the live link to open the screen.
-
Most of the buttons you’ll require are in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
-
Let’s start by adding a new item.
Step 3: Enter your report
-
This is a fairly straight-forward form that was customized for the AES report. Start at the top and work your way down, completing the fields as you go.
-
The reporting year will usually be the calendar year that is just ending.
-
Enter the Collaborative or Multi-state project title specific to your project here.
-
Do not enter anything in the “brief description” field.
-
Most projects will fit into one of the federal focus areas. If none are obvious for your project, or you are unsure, leave this blank.
-
If yours is a Multi-state project, choose the appropriate region.
-
Select the appropriate scope, but if you are unsure, leave it blank.
-
Projects are either Multistate or Collaborative.
-
The rest of the fields, including the brief program description, should be familiar.
-
Add any related publications from the pick list. This list is a compilation of all of the publication records that have been entered into your profile. To enter additional publications, select a number of publication rows and add them.
-
Complete the form by indicating whether there were barriers to the original plan, and what you intend to do during the next reporting year.
Step 4: Save your report. Your entries will be available when the AES Annual Reports are downloaded and the full federal report is written.
