Useful Tip: Use the Siras ‘SSID List (CSV)’ in the search query builder. You can search for lots of students by using the SSID separate by commas. Ex. Searching 4 students all at once with their SSIDs by using the following string method Just put the SSIDs all in a line, separated only by ‘,’ commas. EX: 1234567890, 2345678901, 345678912, 456789123
Report/Export Options:
- Report Type: Monthly or Daily
- Include Only/Exclude only: This allows staff to include or exclude specific services.
- Group All Services: Toggle calculating totals all combined or individually.
- ESY Services Only: Only include services indicated as ESY.
- Include Absent Logs: Default is off to comply with original CDE IEP Implementation monitoring instructions. If that has changed, then be sure to check this option to include absents for local reporting purposes.
- Expected Minutes: This is an estimate of how many monthly minutes were expected during the month. See * as this function is a work in progress.
- Differences: Calculate and show the difference between delivered services and expected.

Export Log Functions:
Search: Use the Search to search ‘between’ 3/1/2023 and 4/28/2023 to search for all your students who have these logs.
Display Minutes Report: Click this first to view the minutes report.
Export Log Data: If you want just the log data exported by itself.
Export Minutes Report: This is the export that CDE is wanting which can be used to compare delivered minutes to the expected minutes for a found set of students.
By default Siras includes all applicable services grouped together in column F
Then after the last month included in the report is the ‘Total Provided’ column
This the column where all the service minutes are added up as best we can.
When one student gets services with varying frequencies, ex: daily, weekly and monthly we have to convert them to daily for the given month.
Not all months have the same number of days so this is estimated number.
Staff can export raw service logs to do their own by hand calculations if they wish to compare.
Use the ‘Export Log Data’ button for that purpose.
