# Copy R.A.N.D Career Profile Data to/from Career Development

### Purpose

Qualified Administrators may occasionally need to transfer **Manager** data between different KSAP survey types. For example:

- A Manager’s ratings from a **KSAP Career Path Survey** can be copied into a **KSAP Career Development Survey** to generate a full set of 360 reports.
- Conversely, Manager ratings from **Career Development** can be copied into **Career Path** for Career Path report production.
- **Important Note:** This process **only copies Manager data** for a specific **Learner/Candidate** between the two reports.
  - Rationale: Some Career Path users include leaders other than the direct Manager (e.g., a CEO as a skip-level Manager). If copied, this additional data (Manager + CEO) will also transfer into Career Development.

### Methods for Copying Data

#### Option 1: Create a New Group

1. Navigate to the **Group View**.
2. Click **Create New Group With Data From This Group**.
3. Name the new group and select the appropriate options.
4. Under **Group Parameters**, select the Learners/Candidates whose Manager data should be copied.
   - Only Learners/Candidates with **Managers who have completed surveys** will be available for selection.

#### Option 2: Copy Into an Existing Group

1. Navigate to the **Group View**.
2. Click **Copy Candidate From Existing Group**.
3. Use the dropdown list to select the **destination group**.
   - Note: The **source (copy-from)** and **destination (copy-to)** groups must have identical parameters (e.g., same number of sorting buckets, either absolute or relative).
4. Select the Learners/Candidates/Managers to be copied.
   - Entries crossed out have **already been copied** into the destination group.
   - Entries marked **“not complete”** cannot be copied, as their surveys are unfinished.

### Additional Information

- When copying **from Career Development to R.A.N.D Career Profile**:
  - If the R.A.N.D group requires **Part 3**, the Manager must return to complete this section (3 additional questions). These questions do not exist in the Career Development survey.
- Part 3 is **optional** when creating a R.A.N.D group. If required:
  - The Manager will automatically receive an email with instructions for completing Part 3.
  - Please notify the Manager in advance to expect this email.
