INFORMATION AND SUPPORT FOR DALLAS ISD EASYIEP™ USERS
Reports Provide Data Entered
Reports can only provide information that has been entered in databases such as EdPlan and PowerSchool. Reports return available data based on the parameters selected.
Placement Screen Errors
Staff are getting the “PEIMS-2” error message from the Placement screen after digital signatures have been entered. This happens when Instructional and/or Related Services are updated after the Placement screen has been saved and is compliant. Until a compliance check is completed the screen will appear compliant.
To avoid receiving the “PEIMS-2” error message be sure to open the Placement screen and check compliance before adding your signature. You will be glad you did.
PEIMS-2: You have not indicated the placement for the student. Please return to the Placement page and make all the appropriate placement selections.
