Symbol Description

Before entering data, determine which Provider (i.e. Agency/Program) you are creating/updating ServicePoint data for. Check to see if your default Provider needs to be changed.(Affects data visibility!)

Recommended Best Practice: Where appropriate, data should be input at the Program (or sub-Program) Provider level, generally defined as the direct-service Providers’ level (not at the management level).

3

Select the Provider that this info will be attributed to by clicking on “Enter Data As”

From the resulting pop-up window, search and/or select from the list of Providers that appears.

REMINDER:If you do NOT see an “Enter Data As” link on your dashboard, you only have permission to enter data for one program.

4

Next, determine whether the data you are about to enter requires the use of Back Date mode.

Enter the dateof knowledge attainment and click on “Set Back Date”

Recommended Best Practice: Data should be entered (i.e. Date- and Time-Stamped) as of the time it was originally gathered; NOT when the ServicePoint User is entering the data in ServicePoint.

If so, click the “Back Date” link.

5
