Make sure your systems requirements are up-to-date
Panorama surveys are designed to be taken on a variety of devices, including desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Surveys can be taken on any device with an internet connection and a modern web browser with the latest version installed (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera). There is no need to install special requirements like Flash, Java, or installed software.
If you're running student surveys, ensure each school has a plan for providing computer access to students
Consider whether classrooms have sufficient technology for students to take surveys in their classes. Alternatively, schedule time in the computer lab (or library) for each class, or arrange for a mobile computer cart to bring extra technology into classrooms.
Add Panorama to the Allow List in your district’s email filter and test that you are receiving emails
Throughout the survey program, district users will receive a number of email messages from Panorama, including invitations to take the surveys, information about administering the surveys, and instructions for accessing reports. To ensure that email messages arrive in staff members’ inboxes and are not caught in your district’s email filters, please add the following domain names to the Allow List in your district’s email system:
- panoramaed.com
- mail.panoramaeducation.com
- email-content.panoramaeducation.com
- email.panoramaeducation.com
- email.panoramaed.com
- panoramaeducation.com
- panoramaedhelp.zendesk.com
Note: If your email system can only allow senders by IP address, please contact support@panoramaed.com for a list of IP addresses that you can add to your Allow List.
Add Panorama to the Allow List in your district’s Internet security systems, including web filtering systems, firewall applications, and throttling software.
