Software Requirements Specification
1. Introduction
The introduction of the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) provides an overview of the
entire SRS with purpose, scope, and overview of the SRS. The aim of this document is to gather
and analyze and give an in­depth insight of the complete ​Autism Curriculum Encyclopedia
(ACE) system​ by defining the problem statement in detail. Nevertheless, it also concentrates on
the capabilities required by stakeholders and their needs while defining high­level product
features. The detailed requirements ​ACE ​are provided in this document.
Purpose
The purpose of the document is to collect and analyze all assorted ideas that have come up to
define the system, its requirements with respect to consumers. Also, we shall predict and sort out
how we hope this product will be used in order to gain a better understanding of the project,
outline concepts that may be developed later, and document ideas that are being considered, but
may be discarded as the product develops.
In short, the purpose of this SRS document is to provide a detailed overview of our software
product, its parameters and goals. This document describes the project's target audience and its
user interface, hardware and software requirements. It defines how our client, team and audience
see the product and its functionality. Nonetheless, it helps any designer and developer to assist in
software delivery lifecycle (SDLC) processes.
Scope
Primarily, the scope pertains to the product features for making Autism Curriculum
Encyclopedia project live.
This SRS is also aimed at specifying requirements of software to be developed but it can also be
applied to assist in the design and development of the new ACE system. .

2. Overall Description
This document contains the problem statement that the current system is facing which is
hampering the growth opportunities of the company. It further contains a list of the stakeholders
and users of the proposed solution. It also illustrates the needs and wants of the stakeholders that
were identified in the brainstorming exercise as part of the requirements workshop. It further lists
and briefly describes the major features and a brief description of each of the proposed system.
The following SRS contains the detail product perspective from different stakeholders.
3. Project High Level Requirements
The specific requirements are –
Functional Requirements
Introduction
This subsection contains the requirements for the ACE system. These requirements are organized
by modules of the current system. Requirements are then refined into use case diagrams and to
Use Case Narratives to best capture the functional requirements of the system.
Include current functionality. Take UCD and include.
Across all Modules
Super admin switch user type
Super admin have the ability to "view" the application as a specific user type for a

NECC Project
specific school, while remaining on their own login. (I log in, then need to see resources
from a teacher perspective in NYC, I can change my view then return back to super
admin view and continue what I was doing).
Blackboard Integration
Have Blackboard functionality look like ACE. Add Blackboard to ACE site (seamless
integration). Requires pass­thru authentication from ACE to Blackboard.
Blackboard Single Sign­on
Make sure Blackboard integration still works. The single sign –on.
Date stamp
All events should be stored in UTC but displayed in user’s local time zone. This is
critical for data entry using mobile.
UI change: Error messages
Display message for unsaved changes.
Potential: Accessibility: Multi­language
Translate ACE into different languages to expand user base.
Accessibility: Text size
Option to increase size of text on screen to improve accessibility (e.g., icons with large A,
medium A, and small A font ­ click and size of text on screen changes accordingly).
On­screen help
Hover text, integrated contextual help, get rid of abbreviations, key for anything that must
have abbreviations, more on­screen instructions to the user. Add information about
character limits. Make error messages clear, simple language, convey needed
information. CSA Grid report needs more description for column headers.
Hard delete
Hard delete some items ­ Hard delete would remove all traces whether active or inactive.
E.g., Ability to delete lesson plans in draft folder. Also ability to delete uploaded files
(e.g., comments, related materials, videos). Also, ability to delete unused users, students,
schools, teams, and programs, etc.
14​ | ​Page ​Discovery Team

15. Software Requirements
Specification
NECC Project
BR: Applies to Super Admin and the Content and Admin module. Make active or
inactive.
Super Admin will be able to do both hard and soft deletes in Super Admin module.
Rich text editor
Most if not all open text boxes should include a functioning rich text editor (minimally
bold/italics/underline/highlight ­ comment section of users – open text box – free form).
Possibly change the size of text as well.
Make error messages more explanatory throughout ACE
Revise data entry "ACE Notification" Error Message. I filled in data entry for assessment
(without saving) then clicked the report tab. I was given the error message: "Please fill
all values in the data entry table to view the report." Can this message be updated to
indicate that the user should also save the results?
E­mail system
Alerts & notifications (e.g., triggered during mobile data collection or based on other
criteria). Integrate an e­mail system that will allow users to e­mail each other from
within the ACE (expand functionality that will be part of new CB module).
BR: We will send all the information using the student’s coded name in ACE.
Errors ­ contact admin
Should notify helpdesk with additional details of what was happening (e.g., Angie's list)
­­ make it happen automatically or give user option of sending an email from the message
screen.
Custom Dashboards
Add dashboards to landing page for each module as well as general user dashboard. Add
user ability to customize these dashboards within modules ­ (data entry status to show
additional options ­Pop­up alerts when attention is needed to assessment or teaching,
show data current to X weeks, etc.). Personal dashboard could show student­specific
info, aggregate reports, frequently accessed links, or other personal items you wish to see
upon logging in.

16. Software Requirements
Specification
NECC Project
Print multiple graphs at once
Ability to print multiple graphs at once. From one general location, graphs can be printed
from across modules (e.g., session data graphs and behavior graphs in one report).
BR: Curriculum (lessons, lesson plans) & Active Lessons & Challenging Behavior
(graphs, logs). Can print everything – mass printing. Can section out the printing.
Add Zendesk to ACE
Add ZenDesk feedback tab to ACE site (seamless integration). Would require us to add
the code into Java script on the ACE. Would continue to allow users to Chat with
HelpDesk or submit a ticket, but users could also then search our knowledge bank.
Requires pass­thru authentication from ACE to Help Desk.
Update the ACE account email and the forgot password email
Unique url that new user will click or paste into the browser as a way of completing the
account activation, it would pass the username and password automatically. Sort of
likeviewpath.com (see example right). This is to avoid having to copy and paste the
password provided by ACE. This is a pain point for many users.
Logo customization
Ability for schools to add their own logo/company name to ACE documents.
Unable to print from the ACE
Must export everything in order to print ­ would like the option to print from within the
ACE. This is the default behavior of the Report viewer control in the Chrome browser
and is a limitation of how the Microsoft report viewer control renders in chrome.
Add video duration to video titles
The SUD will allow the video duration to be added to the video title.
BI: Report: Break data path on a graph
Overall speed within the application needs to increase. We would like pages to load
within 2 sec/industry standard. Reports particularly should be faster to create and load​.

Add/Delete Multiple Skill Lines in Instructional Plan and Instructional Summary.
The ability to add and delete multiple skills lines in the Instructional Summary and
Instructional Plan (SA). Currently, when you edit the Instruction Plan/Summary you have
to add each line individually as well as delete each line. Between each action the ACE
wheel is displayed. Depending on environment this may take some time.
PTO.
Check box next to each level/sublevel include/not include in PTO. By default all are
included, but user can uncheck if they will not be counting that sublevel in the PTO.
Same with IT for context. TA is simply number of steps across all sub­chains (can delete
the chains you don't want to target).
Edit Learner Profile
User ability to select options for the learner that can be applied to all lessons when
activating them. These would include fields that are common across lessons (e.g., #
people, # settings, criteria to increase/decrease, prompt fading strategy, and more).
Visual Scope & Sequence
Need a way to show where the lesson falls within the greater curriculum scope and
sequence. Some way to visualize the skills that come before and after the skill targeted
by the selected lesson. Perhaps within the lesson view page we could leverage current
skills assessment logic to show 3 skills before and 3 skills after to display clear
curriculum sequences. Clicking on a skill prior or after would activate the search
showing all lessons linked to each skill. This is how to incorporate Prerequisites and next
steps. Also include a field for maintenance, generalization, and naturalistic environment
training.

Status column.
Add a Column on the session data report (RDL file) to show status. Right now can only
see status on "last 15 sessions" grid. Consider adding other missing columns as well.
Change color of IT graph to be consistent with SA.
The "Correct Prompted" responses on the IT session data report are yellow and they
should be green to match the SA graph. Title should also be "Correct" as with the SA
graph, instead of "correct prompted."
UI change: IT graph legend needs to be corrected.
"Correct Prompted" should just say "Correct".
Sublevel deselected when filters cascade.
AHD #3242: In the curriculum Report tab, when trying to generate a graph for sub level
2.01 (for a date range that includes data from that sublevel), after 2.01 is selected in the
Sub Level filter, it deselects when the filters cascade.
NOTE: It is possible to select sub level 2.01 by selecting Level 2 ONLY in the level
filter. This issue only occurs when Levels 1 AND 2 are selected in the Level filter
(whether they are clicked manually, or clicked by using "select all" button).
TA session data report ­ data order incorrect.
Data grid from the Session Data report, shows that the data order is incorrect (not in
chronological order).
User entered event not generating a phase line selection
When generating a report for lesson 2.05, matching money to price with visual supports
(Ay Peter, ACE School, Classroom 157), a user entered event that falls within the report
date range does not appear as a choice for phase line ("Date introduced for .30" 3/5/13).

TA ­ add ability for multiple tasks
Add ability to collect data on multiple chains related to same objective (e.g., 3 snacks for
a snack­making TA). Eliminates the need for 3­4 numbered identical lessons, also makes
it possible to calculate PTO. This includes creating a summary tab that shows date
introduced, mastered, etc. All consistent with SA and IT. Helps with multiple­destiny

Ability to drag and drop to re­order steps in chain.
Prescription sheet
1. Lessons: need a place to select goal for daily/weekly/monthly frequency of sessions
(learner profile). Based on the goal selected, progress bar changes to show how close
you are to the goal (fitbit style). This will allow users to select which lesson to run based
on where the greatest need is. Note: there has been a request to re­order the list based on
what has been run.
2. Sublevels within lessons: once you open a lesson, sublevels could have a visual
indication of run/not run so the user knows to select the sublevel that has not yet been run
that day. Potentially use the same logic to have those not yet run earlier in the list.

Make web data entry more user friendly
Make data entry more user friendly and streamlined. E.g., Avoid having to move to new
day to enter data across days (e.g., have a grid with multiple days and user can enter data
for whichever day they choose). This saves time in having to move from one day to the
next and reload the page each time. Including the ability to set your program days (i.e. 5
days a week or 7).
Ability to flag sublevel to NOT appear on data entry screens
Allows users to take away specific sublevels from data entry options (e.g., if a sublevel is
discontinued, or if you are no longer collecting data on a sublevel because maintenance is
embedded into higher levels of program).

Way to organize archived folder
Sometimes students can have upwards of 200 lessons in archived folder. Minimally, add
IEP year to grid, so lessons can be sorted by IEP year. Ideally, some other method of
organizing lessons that would be meaningful to users (e.g., These lessons have all been
mastered, these were taught for a while and then we moved on, etc.). Perhaps, also a way
to make "sets" as in Photoshop where versions of the same lesson (created when
archiving data only) are all on the same line rather than multiple lines in the grid). Also,
year end summary form.
***Start by adding IEP year to the grid.

the option to include or not include them in reports. If make a team inactive then they
will not show up in that dropdown (though superadmin will still want to report on this).
Batch include/exclude curricula when creating/editing a school (e.g., remove rights for UAE curricula).
Need ability to assign lessons to a specific library (e.g., "UAE"). When creating a new
school, Admin can then select which libraries the school will have access to (can include
or exclude libraries). We would like to maintain the existing functionality where we can
individually select lessons to include/exclude within a library.
Searching feature.
The ability to search for a school rather than paginate through all schools; improve UI for
the school management section.
Ability to discharge a school.
Ability to deactivate all users and students associated with a school (​soft delete​ so you
can still run certain reports given the option to include discharged schools).

automatically when the scheduled date arrives. Also, incorporate teacher access, so
current teachers get 2 weeks to 1 month post­move and new teachers get access 2 weeks
to 1 month prior to move. Perhaps there is also a way to give teachers access to only the
student who is moving and not the entire team​.
Student move ­ curriculum considerations
Student Move: When a student moves from one school to another and the receiving
school does not have the master curriculum for any of the students active lessons – a
message to the admin should appear indicating which lessons are missing. If those
lessons are not added to the school’s curriculum bank the those lessons do not appear in
the student’s active list or on the student’s dashboard.

OR give pre­access to new team to get to know the student). Consider automating this
based on student move date (make this an option to check when scheduling a student
move so that it would not always happen with outside customers).
Editing User Info.
Ability to edit users more quickly without having to open each user. Quick links similar
to Blackboard where there is a menu of option associated with the hyperlinked name,
subset of the full options.

the ability to fine­tune selections by checking/unchecking individual boxes if needed).
PA data sheet document type too restrictive
When uploading data sheets for PA module, only allows PDF documents. Should allow
all documents types.
Assign data blocks to levels
Ability to assign a data block to each level (required for tablet). Need to map each data
block to type of array that is shown on the tablet (e.g., array, no array, # trial, etc.).
Consider adding data collection options such as rate, frequency, percentage.
Objective character limit
Increase character limit in objective field.
Sublevels
Ability to break sublevel into targets (taught as sets = Y, then can add Target A, Target B,
Target C, etc.). This is needed for the rotation to be displayed on the tablet.
Ability to add contexts.
Ability to add >8 contexts to IT lessons (on a pr lesson basis ­ right now if we add then it
adds to all IT lessons). Want this ability in content and on user side (activating and
editing).
Ability to order all lists
Admin ability to order all lists.
Delete function
Have the ability to soft delete from all the fields (e.g., data sheets, RM, CP, etc.) Need to
clean up old or unused items and/or replace with newer versions. Need option to delete
from all lessons, or leave attached to lessons, but soft delete from manage lists. Want to
have the option on content side to view items that have been soft deleted OR not to view
in our lists. Would also like the option to hard delete in some instances. For items that
appear in reports, by default the soft deleted item would not appear in the report, but
would like to have the option for each report to include deleted items. Need to discuss
how this would work with Active lessons (get to keep it in active, but once you edit that

.
Alerts
Alerts users that a lesson has been updated (this would be controlled by super admin and
not completely automatic (e.g., publish a "major version" that triggers a "new" or
"changes" alert. Users can opt to apply changes or not.
Also, message to users when the lesson they searched for using a specific ID# that has
been discontinued. When Admin discontinues a lesson, there should be an option to
attach a message to user (i.e., "This lesson has been discontinued. Please consider
lessons 2345 and 23456").
Add report listing lessons for given skill(s)
Ability to report on all lessons associated with a given skill (or set of skills). Discussed
as part of requirements meetings and was told it was a $0 CR.
Change M­L teaching procedure
Make a M­L teaching procedure where the user can specify which prompts to include in
the hierarchy (just like the L­M hierarchy).
Reorganize teaching procedures
Content (manage teaching procedure): keep current name, add separate fields for 1)
prompt type and 2) fading strategy.
Content (draft/published): Ability to assign prompt types (i.e., verbal, physical, gesture,
or visual), determine order, and set default. All fading strategies are available for the
selected types.

Curriculum (learner profile): User can select preferred fading strategy. If activating using
learner profile setting, lesson will activate with user­chosen fading strategy and default
prompt type. If editing, user can select alternate prompt type. If the lesson has been
assigned a teaching procedure without an associated fading strategy (e.g., shaping, video
modeling, exclusion), they get the default assigned and a pop­up message alerting them
that the chosen fading strategy was not available, please confirm that default is
acceptable.
Define teaching procedure hierarchy
For any teaching procedure we need to define hierarchy (i.e., define where "I" and "step
5" are least intrusive and "MG" and "Step 0" are most intrusive). This is a new field and
would be needed to facilitate item 286. Also allows the TA prompts to be listed in order
in which you might be teaching them. Also allows us to order the visual display on the
tablet.
