LOGIN
Several years ago the state of Alabama converted to
INOW for their record keeping program. Sets is
integrated with INOW.
Your new INOW login and password is now also
your SETS login and password.
YOU MUST login into INOW one time and change
your password before you can get into sets. I can do
it for you if you would like,
For those of you who do not use INOW regularly you
will only have to do this one time and then never get
on INOW again until your password expires.
Here is how you find INOW:
On your computer go to Shelby County Webpage.
Select Teacher and Staff. Go to Logins. INOW Portal.
When the INOW screen opens you will se this
Your user name login will be the same as
what you use to sign onto your home
directory / email. e.g. wmcgrath
You must check with your school to see if they
already assigned you a generic password that
you must CHANGE. If your school did not
assign one then I did. My generic password for
you to try is
Shelbyco2014.
Once you know the password, you go to the
main INOW login screen and put in your user
name and generic password either that school
gave you or mine. Click login.
At the next screen it should either list your
school or ask which school you want. You
should see academic session 2014-15. Click
continue. (for this school does not matter)
If it is your first time to log on (if I have not
already set your password up) you will see
the following screen.
Password must
be at least 8
characters
including at
least 1 number
and 1 letter.
It cannot be the
same as your
network
password.
Shelbyco2013
When task bar on left comes up go to last
item and click PREFERENCES.
Change Password.
Another

Click ok
It will ask for old password which is the
generic one you got from me or school.
Then put in a new password that you can
remember. I cannot tell you what you put.
Important!
Do not leave the generic password!
Sometimes it appears that the
password did not take. Ignore because
it probably did unless it said it did not
meet criteria.

USER DESKTOP
Desktop Overview
In the STISETSWeb desktop, users will see their caseloads populating the Student Number, Student Name,
Relationship, LRE, Special Education Status, Exceptionality, School, DOB, Gender, Race and Grade fields.
A user’s caseload consists of students who are associated by way of Case Management, Special Education Service
and/or Related Service. The caseload will appear on the User Desktop after the user logs in to the program. Once a
User sees the Desktop, they have several ways of viewing children.
Relationship
A user’s caseload is set up based on the relationship that user has to a student. For example: If you are a student’s
Case Manager, the designation Case Manager will appear in the Relationship column for that student. Additional
relationships may be defined by an Administrator or Manager in the Utility Desktop. Relationships may be
assigned by the manager from the Caseload Assignment option, outlined in the Utility Desktop.

bottom of the selected student area. Simply click on this link to view and add
entries to the electronic record of access. You have the ability to print the
record of access here or from the Reports Desktop. (STISETS is designed
to enter automatic entries for anyone who selects the student and is not the Case
Manager for a child.)
• Services: The Services link provided in the bottom right corner
allows the user to view services provided for the selected student.
• Progress: One of the ways to enter progress for a student
This is a read only page for teachers. Please review every
student file you have on your caseload to make sure all of
the critical areas are filled in correctly.
Every form is accessed through the process
manager.
Process Manager
The Process Manager allows the user to view and
manage all processes assigned to a student. A
Process is defined as a group of forms that must be
completed within a specified time period. In order to
work on specific forms for a student, the user must
first assign an appropriate Process (containing all
required forms) to the student.
Perform the following steps to assign statedefined processes and to track Special Education
forms:
• Upon login, the teacher’s Caseload will be displayed
onscreen. Select a student by double-clicking on the
student’s name.
• At the next screen, click Insert to assign a process to the
selected student.
Insert
On the next screen, click the down arrow to
select the specific process, such as Referral
Process. Then click OK to save.
• The screen displays the selected process.
o
Once a process is begun, all the forms that need
to be used for a student in that process should
be marked “completed” in that process.
In other words, if a referral process has been
opened and data entry has begun, there is no
need to go to the IEP Process to complete an
IEP.
If needed at this point in the special education
process, users should complete the IEP that
exists in the referral process.
The buttons on the left are defined as follows:
o Insert: Allows the user to attach a new process to a student.
If a process is not listed after Insert has been clicked, verify
that the process is not already open for the current student.
o Delete: Allows the user to delete a process from a student’s
file.
NOTE: If you have completed ANY forms in the process you
cannot delete the child.
o Deactivate: Can only be done by managers.
o Complete / Re-Open: This button may display differently
depending on the process you are working with. Complete
allows the user to close a completed process, which will then
enable the user to create a second instance of a process. ReOpen allows a
user to return to forms or processes that have been previously
completed. NOTE: You cannot open the another process that is
the same until the previous one has been completed
o Forms: This button will bring up all forms that are
associated with the highlighted process. When this button is
selected, the forms will appear on the work area of the screen.
A process must be marked “complete” if another of the
same kind is to be used in the future.
For example, if an annual IEP process is not completed,
then another annual IEP process cannot be opened
when a given student needs it. In order for a process to
be marked “complete”, all opened forms within the
process must be marked “complete”.
If a form is open and then it is determined that the
form is not needed in the process, the form can be
removed by going to Edit and Remove Form.
.
All forms needed in the Process should be displayed on
the screen. A colored square icon displays to the left of
each form. Rest the mouse cursor on any icon to
display descriptive screen tips and the version and form
number for the selected form.
o Green: Designates a form that is Open. The form is in
draft status, meaning changes are allowed. All forms
except forms sent home for signature will print with a
Draft watermark until the form is completed.
o Red: Designates a Completed form. No changes are
allowed except through creating an Amendment.
o White: Designates Form has not been opened
o Blue: Designates Open (Amendment). This is a
previously completed form with an Amendment
attached.
o Purple: Designates A Completed Amended Form
File Menu
• Save Changes – F10: Allows user to save the changes

must exist in both processes. There is an additional rule for
moving a form: The form may only be moved if it is less than
30 days old, excluding the months of June, July and August.
If the form is over 30 days (excluding those month), a new
process must be added and the form must then be recreated.
• Create Amendment: An Amendment may be created to make
changes on a completed form.

Working on a Form
Rules have been added to the forms that
require the user to complete certain
designated fields before a form may be saved
or completed. Some data fields on the forms
may be typed in, while other data will be
entered using pick lists. Pick lists are lists of
items that may be selected to fill in a field on
the form. Some pick lists may have additional
items added for user selection.
Some forms may feature hyperlinks, such as
AL Learning Exchange.
The profile page now includes bullets that
address the required areas of the profile. All
must have something written in them except
Other and EI (unless an EI PK student)
Be careful when doing IEP’s that you get the dates and schools
year and grades correct. If IEP goes over 2 schools years put both
of them.

There are three ways
to enter progress on
IEP goals. You may
choose whichever is
easiest for you.
1.This is the easiest way to do progress reports. It allows you to
select your whole caseload and fill in the data without having to
pull up each individual student. Select your name, school, school
year and grading period and your caseload will come up when you
hit refresh. You can then select the student and enter progress.
#2 and #3 are identical.
Progress is entered in the
same way in each.
2
Selecting 2 or 3 will require you to first select a student on
your caseload, open their file and then select one of the
above. You will have to do this for each student on your
caseload.

To create a service, simply click on the Insert button. For both the
Special Education tab and the Related Services tab, a Service Type
field is the first field in the window to be addressed.
a. In the Special Education window, select the service type from the
drop down box which will have only two choices: “speech therapy”
and a blank.
1) If you have a student with any disability, other than SLI, the user
will select “blank” from the drop down and manually enter the
actual service provided in the Service Details field. For this student,
speech therapy is a related service, and those services should be
entered under the Related Services tab.
a) If the user needs to create a speech goal page for this student
(where the Area field at the top of the page is articulation, for
example), then he/she must enter the speech service in Related
Services, and must also address the Special Education tab because it
is required to complete each goal page.
b) This will require the user to enter, for example, “See Related
Services” or some similar directive in the Special Education field.
This entry will satisfy the program’s requirement that this field is
addressed.
If you have a student with Speech and Language Impairment, as identified
on the eligibility report, the user must select “speech therapy” from the pick
list and then address the details of his/her special education (which for this
child will be speech therapy) in the Service Details field. These details must
be manually entered into the program. For such a student, related services
would be comprised of services other than speech, such as physical therapy,
occupational therapy, etc. Speech for this child is Special Ed not related
services.
In the Related Services window, select from the pick list, the service to be
described.
The only related services to use from drop down menu in Shelby Cty are:
Itinerant Hearing, Itinerant Vision, OT, PT, Speech, Vocational Rehab,
Orientation and Mobility, Adapted PE. Any other in list are Usually not
used.

Important Facts
Each case manager is responsible for entering into SETSWEB the
entering information on the transfer if records did not transfer.
Use the following procedures:
1. You must have a completed referral process or a re-eval process
on each student.
2. You must have a completed IEP process on each student.
Transfer Students
1. Out of state transfers are treated as new referrals in SETS but
they do received services while referral process is underway,
2. In state transfers are considered re-evals if records do not
transfer or if records are incorrect or poorly done.
