User Account Preferences Help  -  Located Under the Tools menu > Manage Users / My Account [Edit Preferences] tab

 

         

The user account preference page has options to customize SIRAS at an individual user level.  After making any changes to the preferences, be sure to click the Update Preference button.

 

Main Navigation Menu 

This option allows the Student Info; the Reporting menu; and Tools to be located at the top of SIRAS or on the left side.

 

Skins

This option allows you to change the color of the browser skins in SIRAS.  Make SIRAS your own by personalizing a theme.

 

UI Animation

Some users do not like the motion effects of some of the reminders in SIRAS.  The default is to allow, but if the movement bothers you you can disable that effect.

 

Date Picker Preference

Normally date fields have a calendar gadget that shows a little calendar and you can select the date(s) to add into the date field. Some users who have visual impairments may prefer the simple date entry where they just type the date in the field, i.e. 10/2/2025

 

Icon for Completed Forms/Validations

The default is the green check, but if you want to personalize SIRAS select one of the other options.

 

Choose Student Default Number of Records per Page

The default of records to be shown on a list is 20;  click the green arrow button to view the next page of 20 records.  

If you want to view more records at one time you can change the default to a higher number.  Keep in mind that the greater number of records appear on a list the longer the load time.  If you have a fast computer and high wifi speed you can it may benefit you to increase the number of records per page; else if you should keep the default of 20 records per page.

 

Choose Student: default status search

When opening the Choose Student List or when doing a query or search you can control if you want to view only the Active records or Active and Pending records.  General Users default to view Active and Pending records while most Admin Access users default to Active records.  For information on how to perform a search or query click here.

 

 

Default Scope for Admin

If you have District or Site Admin access and have students assigned to you as a Provider, when you login into SIRAS you can default your scope of view to just the students you are providing services for rather that the entire district or school. 

If you want to view the entire district or school you would click on the little red school house  and uncheck 'view specifically assigned students' checkbox and then click the 'Go' button.

Hide Student Names from Error List

When running an error report, often those reports need to be shared with other staff.  For confidentiality purposes the error report will only show the SSID and not the name of the student if 'hide' is selected.

 

Default Home Page selected tab

After you log into SIRAS you can default which tab you want to be on.  This is helpful if your have particular responsibilities with compliance, transferring students, managing meetings, etc.

      

                        

 

Student Header - Identifier

This will allow the user to default the student header to the right of the name to appear the Student ID and the SSID.  Clicking on the number will show all the identifying numbers associated with the student.

                 

 

PDF Viewer

This should be left on the default 'Let SIRAS choose'.   Sometimes due to the unique configurations or issues with the users browser the PDF form in the Forms Manager do not open properly.  There are three other options that can be used to open a PDF form in the Forms Manager in SIRAS.  Seek SIRAS Support for assistance with this feature.
