  9. Do I have to collect SSNs? BUT NO YES • The DCS will still collect outcome data without SSNs. • Your students will still be included in the outcome counts (number enrolled, number completing, etc.) • To add a student to the DCS, and subsequently to an Outcome, a required field is SSN [or CCCID: California Community College Identification Number].

  10. Do I have to collect EINs? • NO, EIN is not a required field in the DCS. (That is, you will still be able to enter business information without an EIN.) • We recommend you obtain the EIN to improve our accountability and reporting.

  11. How do I count training hours? Outcome 1: Training X Notes about training hours: • 1 hour class • Offered 1 time • Number Enrolled = 20 Enter: • Total Hours of Training = 1 NOT: • Total Hours of Training = 20 • DO NOT include “prep” time. • DO NOT multiply by enrollment. • DO include actual instruction time.

  12. What is happening with [support requests]… Entering activities multiple times before it saves Adding a student to an outcome • Still troubleshooting this bug. • Successfully applied a fix to the this problem in the test site and will enable it in the new site. Adding a business to an outcome • Partially fix this problem. • In Internet explorer, you must click the “submit” button instead of hitting “enter” or “return” on the keyboard.

  13. How do I get my support request resolved faster? • Please send your request to one place. • Include any error messages you see on the screen. • Include some detail about the problem. Like: • Where is it? Activities, Outcomes, Training etc. • Was the problem occurring with CREATING a new item or EDITING and existing item? • What exactly were you entering into the fields? • Can you detail the steps you follow to reliably make the error happen every time?

  14. Enhancements for Consideration • Adding the Expenditures • Filtering the Business List by Initiative (RFA #) • Enhanced Reports • Trends and graphics • Legislative Districts • Regions
