Step 6. Select the file to be uploaded by highlighting it and clicking the Open button. The File Name box is automatically completed with the name of the file being uploaded.
Step 7. Click on the Upload File button.
The next two screens appearing show details of the file transmission and verification status. Do not close the window before the transmission confirmation is displayed. If the browser window is closed prematurely, the transmission is interrupted and a failure message is displayed.
After the upload steps have been accomplished, the File Verification Page displays a submission reference number as shown below and the initial file status.
The File Verification Page provides a submission reference number and indicates the success or failure of the transmission. Whenever a file is attempted to be transmitted to ADE, a submission reference number is assigned to it. This number refers to a specific submission and is used in all portions of the application for tracking purposes.
"The file was successfully transmitted by John Smith for the ABC Unified School District" appears on the screen indicating that the initial step of file submission has occurred. If the file was uploaded and a submission reference number provided, the status of the submitted file may be checked in Submitted File Status portion of this application. Click here to learn about checking file status.
If errors are displayed, the file was not received by ADE or there was something wrong with the file. Errors displayed on this screen indicate issues that need to be corrected prior to resubmitting the file to ADE.
