CAPS Requirements for IPHIS • The CAPS Program management team requires access to state-acquired, PPQ-funded data in addition to PPQ-acquired data. • Validation rules for negative data that check the data for validity and adherence to the Approved Methods upon upload of data to the system.
CAPS Requirements for IPHIS • Additional validation rules for data entry of selected target pests (Xyleborus and Xylotrechusspp, mollusks, nematodes, and Copitarsia spp.) at the genus and species level. • Three critical functions of the CAPS Program are associated with the NAPIS database; the Accountability Report, notifications to the CAPS community of new pests in the U.S., state, and/or county, and the Pest Tracker website.
CAPS Requirements for IPHIS • The CAPS complex and specific data-entry templates will be developed in IPHIS, and updated annually, to support the multitude of unique, multi-pest surveys conducted in the CAPS Program in the states. • The IPHIS system also needs to allow users to enter pest data for pests that were not identified prior to a survey or listed on the J-3 appendix, but were detected during a survey.
CAPS Requirements for IPHIS • The data required by the CAPS Program is different than other pest programs, and the data fields in the data entry template need to reflect that fact. • Reporting functions specific to the CAPS Program will be developed, and must include state data.
CAPS Requirements for IPHIS • Data entered into IPHIS need to be published, by default, at the county level, and be available to all users of the system. • There must be included in the development of this process, a waiting time (e.g., 2 weeks) before the data are published to allow the states to perform a final review of the data, make corrections if necessary, and/or develop any notifications or messages for pest detections in their state.
CAPS Requirements for IPHIS • The CAPS Program also suggests that a policy be incorporated into IPHIS where the data is locked after 2 weeks, and cannot be changed without the specific justification and national program approval. • Resources need to be allocated for timely responses to Program needs.
CAPS Requirements for IPHIS • As per the CAPS communication to the IPHIS team and the CAPS community, a decision will be made by October 1, 2012 as to the data management system that will be used for the CAPS Program in 2013.
