Web-Link and ADM
  HOME        
What is ADM?
ADM (Assessment Data Manager) is ASEBA's PC product for entering responses from all ASEBA paper rating forms, scoring entered data, and storing entered data for unlimited time. ADM also provides tools for selected data extraction.
How does Web-Link work with ADM?
Web-Link provides an output option (Data Download to ADM) that you can select when you key-enter a form or create an electronic form request. When entry is completed, a .zip file is produced that you can download to your PC. ADM provides a utility that recognizes these .zip files and imports the downloaded data into its system. Imported data is then available for all ADM functions. Chapter 17 in the Web-Link User Guide details all the steps required for download and import.
