Provider (Teachers)
Providers in ASQ Online are equivalent to the teachers at each site. Providers have access rights to create and edit child records, and
enter child screening data. This role was designed for teachers who work directly with children in the program.
If you are a Program Administrator who also needs to enter in screening data for children whom you work with, you can add the
Provider role to your Program Admin role. As a Program Administrator, you are able to access child profiles, review screenings, and
add screenings into the system. If you need to be able to add a screening to a child profile, you can add Provider access to your
existing Program Admin user role. By assigning Provider access to your Program Administrator role, you will be able to access both
roles without having to create separate usernames and passwords.
SECTION 2: Getting Started with your Program (for the Program Administrator/Director)
Logging into ASQ Online
You should have received an email from [email protected] providing you with your username and steps to create a
password. If you did not receive that email, please email [email protected] .
The user will receive an automatic email from the system that includes their username and steps to create a password.
You will now have Provider access. At the top of page, you will notice a drop-down menu is now available. You will be able to switch
from your Program Administrator and Provider roles using this drop-down menu.
Note: If you need to add Program Administrator access to one of your teachers, you can select Add Program Administrator Access
when you are on Step 2 (above), and select the provider to add Program Administrator access to.
1. Program Administrator: The Program Administrator can add child profiles to the program, and then after they are added, the
Program Admin will need to assign the children to a Provider.
2. Provider: The Provider can add child profiles to the program and the child profiles will then be automatically assigned to the
Provider.
Many times the Program Administrator creates the Providers (Teachers) and then the teachers add the children to the program. The
children that the teachers add to the program will be automatically assigned to them. Program Administrators can see all child
profiles in the program regardless of who enters the child profile.
Next, you will need to add a caregiver to the Child Profile (the caregiver is the parent or foster parent or other relative in charge of
the care of this child). To add a caregiver:
1. From the child’s profile page, click the Add New Caregiver Quick Link.
Note: If the caregiver already exists in the system, click the Add Existing Caregiver Quick Link. Under the Caregiver Profile List tab,
click Add to the right of the caregiver name, and click Save.
2. Enter in the required information (required fields are indicated by a red asterisk [*]).
3. Click Save.
The final step in adding a Child Profile is to assign a Provider to the child. The Provider is the person in your program who will be
entering the screening information for the child. A Provider must be assigned to a child in order for that child’s screenings to be
entered into the online system. If the Provider creates the child profile, the child will automatically be assigned to that provider. To
learn how to assign a provider to a child profile, see the next step.
1. From the child’s profile page, click the Add Provider/Reviewer Quick Link.
2. Locate the provider you would like to assign to this child from the list. Put a checkmark in the box to the left of the Provider’s
name.
3. Click the Add button.
4. The provider will now be able to access and enter screening data for that child profile.
Assigning Multiple Children to a Provider
If you would like to create all of the child profiles first and then assign the multiple children to a provider at once, you can do that
following these steps:
1. Click Program.
2. Click Search Program Users from the Quick Links menu.
3. Click on the user’s name.
4. Click Assign Children to Provider from the Quick Links menu.
5. Put a checkmark in the box to the left of the child’s name.
6. Click Add.
7. The provider will now be able to access and enter screening data for those child profiles.
Running Reports
Within ASQ Online, there are multiple reports you can generate, pulling together aggregate data from your program. You can choose
to download these reports as PDF files, CSV files, or you can preview the report in a separate browser window.
When running reports, there are many ways to generate any one report so that it includes as much or as little information as you
would like. Each report has its own set of criteria that can be narrowed down to include the information most relevant to your
report. You can also include child profile custom fields in the report by selecting that option. These criteria are listed on the report
generation page as fields or drop-down menus. Leaving a field or drop-down menu blank, prior to generating a report, indicates that
you would like to see all data pertaining to that field.
SECTION 3: Information for Providers (Teachers) (and Program Administrators with Provider
Access)
Next, you will need to add a caregiver to the Child Profile (the caregiver is the parent or foster parent or other relative in charge of
the care of this child). To add a caregiver:
1. From the child’s profile page, click the Add New Caregiver Quick Link.
Note: If the caregiver already exists in the system, click the Add Existing Caregiver Quick Link. Under the Caregiver Profile List tab,
click Add to the right of the caregiver name, and click Save.
2. Enter in the required information (required fields are indicated by a red asterisk [*]).
3. Click Save.
1. Manually: The provider can log in and enter a screening into ASQ Online.
2. Family Access: A parent/caregiver can click on the Family Access link and add a screening through Family Access that is later
accepted by the Program Administrator into the program.
3. Import: The Program Administrator can download the screening import template and import screening data from a csv file into
ASQ Online.
Screening data can only be entered into the system as a Provider. If you are the Program Admin and need to add screening data for a
Child Profile, you must switch to your Provider role. If you have a completed paper questionnaire (a prior ASQ or more current ASQ)
that needs to be entered into ASQ Online, you can add it by following these steps:
a. Select the caregiver who completed the screening from the drop-down menu.
b. Select the questionnaire type from the drop-down menu.
c. Select either the Long or Short Form. (The Long Form looks just like the paper questionnaire, but without the pictures. The
Short Form has only the spaces to enter the answers and is intended for quick and easy data entry.)
d. Enter the screening date. ASQ Online will then recommend the interval.
e. Click Save.
4. Fill out each area of the questionnaire. When finished, click Save in Progress. Then click the Finalize button.
5. Once finalized, the Information Summary Sheet will appear and the questionnaire will be available within the Child
Screenings section of the child profile.
If your program would like to create screening task reminders, you can do so by following the steps below. Screening tasks can be
created from the Tasks section within a child profile or from the Screenings section within Screening Management. Creating a
screening task will help to remind you when to rescreen a child. When you create the task, the system will tell you what the
recommended interval is for the date that you schedule your screening task. (NOTE: If you would like to have the system
automatically create screening task reminders for your program, you can set up Screening Preferences. For more information on
Screening Preferences, see Section 5 Screening Preferences in the Program Admin manual available in the ASQ Online Help section.)
Follow these steps to create a screening task:
Note: The Completed Date field will be auto-completed by the system when you print the questionnaire from the Packets section
(and then the screening task will appear in the Screenings Out section in Screening Management). The Returned Date field will be
auto-completed by the system after you enter the questionnaire into the ASQ Online program (the screening task will appear in the
Screenings Completed section in Screening Management.)
To summarize, here is the life of your screening task: Create the screening task; it appears under Screenings Due; when task
becomes due, you print out the questionnaire from the Packets section and the screening task moves from Screenings Due to
Screenings Out; the screening is completed by you or the parent, and once it is entered into ASQ Online, the screening task moves
from Screenings Out to Screenings Completed.
Setting up Alerts
As a user, you have the ability to set up alerts for your screening tasks which can be sent to yourself via text message or email. To
set up a screening task alert, follow these steps:
1. Click on My Profile.
2. Click My Alerts from the Quick Links menu.
3. Under the Task Reminders section, the type of reminder, when you should receive the reminder, and then select Screening from
the task type dropdown menu and then click Add.
4. The alert will appear. Make sure you select the Status as “On”. You can create as many alerts as you would like.
Running Reports
Within ASQ Online, there are multiple reports you can generate for the children to whom you are assigned. You can choose to
download these reports as PDF files, CSV files, or you can preview the report in a separate browser window.
When running reports, there are many ways to generate any one report so that it includes as much or as little information as you
would like. Each report has its own set of criteria that can be narrowed down to include the information most relevant to your
report. You can also include child profile custom fields in the report by selecting that option. These criteria are listed on the report
generation page as fields or drop-down menus. Leaving a field or drop-down menu blank, prior to generating a report, indicates that
you would like to see all data pertaining to that field.
If you have a large amount of data, the report may take a little longer to run. Once you have started to run a report, you can leave
the page and continue your work in ASQ Online. To check the status of the report, you can select the “Recent Reports” tab on the
Reports page. Once the report has finished running, you can then download it from this page as well.
