Getting Started

• The Disability Service Provider needs to identify a campus Information Technology (IT) Professional who will oversee the installation of SAM V2 and manage persmissions and implementation.

• Installation of SAM V2 is performed by the institution.
  • SAM V2 requires the institution to have a web server with PHP and MySQL.
  • The IT Professional can access SAM V2 installation specifics and SAM V2 architecture here.
• SAM V2 is a relational database application, and as such, an understanding of the database terms and concepts is essential.

Instant Access to the Information You Need

• SAM V2 is comprised of a number of different tables that allow you to organize, sort, and find student information from individual files to large data sets.
• When asked, you will have disability information, student accommodations, case note history, and contact information right at hand.

Report and Communicate All Your Information

• Transform data by choosing from a host of pre-defined report templates.
• Create your own reports using SQL.
• SAM V2 offers a sophisticated Find feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.

Built-in Network Sharing and Permissions

• Users can login to SAM V2 and access the same student file simultaneously.
• SAM V2 offers levels of access permission so you can determine what your users can do and see.

Implementation

• The institution is responsible for configuring SAM V2.
  • Configuration is performed by adding or modifying records in the database located under the administration menu.
