Creating a new Form on the App

Forms in eWalk can be named different things depending on your setup. When creating them, they can be referred to as templates, walkthroughs, forms etc. These are all interchangeable terms for documents within eWalk. The name eWalk refers to electronic walkthrough (Sometimes spelled Walk-Through).

Classroom walkthroughs are a form of instructional leadership, and an integral tool for the professional development of educators. Typically they require a school leader such as a Principal, Vice Principal or Administrator to visit classrooms in order to view instructional practices and how the school is running. These observations are then followed by a meeting with the observer and the teacher of an observed classroom for professional feedback.

In addition to walkthroughs, eWalk is used for:

Formal Staff Observations
Final Evaluation Summaries
Principal/Admin Evaluations
Facilities and maintenance checks
School/Student Safety and Incident reporting
and more

Nearly any type of form can be created as a template in eWalk for data collection and reporting. If you would like assistance with creating any additional forms for your system, please feel free to reach out to us at mxsupport@harriscomputer.com

Step by Step Instructions

1) To begin please log in to the URL provided by your school/organization. You will be provided with a username and password for eWalk unless you are set up with Single Sign On through your school.

2) After logging in you will be brought to the dashboard of mxWeb. Click on the eWalk logo to go to the eWalk main menu.

*NOTE: Certain users might see an mVal Ontario or a McREL Power walkthrough/Personnel evaluation logo instead of the eWalk logo shown below. These are different versions of eWalk and this documentation is relevant to all of these.

3) From the eWalk main menu you can create new forms or view previously created forms. Note that on the main menu you will only see the last created form per category within the current school year. To create a new form from here, you can click on the new button within the view/module that you would like to use. You can click the one next to the manage button or those next to each category listed within the box.

4) After clicking new a box will popup with various options. Here is a quick description of the different options:

Category - This is the type of document you are creating. A category can contain multiple different forms/templates.
Template - Each template is a specific form within the category. Select the correct form that you would like to create. If you are unsure what the correct form is, you can click the preview button to view the form without creating it.
Site - This is the school/building that the record will be tied to.
Teacher - This is the teacher/person that the record will be created upon and tied to.
Name for: Observation - This is the name of that individual document and this is what others will click on to view the form that you have created.

5) Once you have selected all the correct options, click on 'Create' to start the form or 'Cancel' to close the window.
