Suffix “validation”

• Presented by Julie Monfette on behalf of Citrus Community College

Use of Help Query

• Citrus needed to ensure that all parties kept to the designated Suffix configuration to keep their data useful and timeless

• While the suffix does not have a true validation form, using the Help Query allows you to add an easy access reference.

Other ideas for local “Help”

• Consider adding to all date fields in PEAEMPL

• Any time you re-purpose a field, be sure to add the local Help so all users have access to it.

field

MIS Data Validation

• Ideas to keep your data accurate from the start of the record

• Avoid crunch to correct the output for MIS extracts

• Consider scheduling the validation process with IT to run once a week

• Always give the errors back to the end user to let them correct their entries, and…

• Nip bad data entry habits early!

MIS Data Validation

• Consider running a “null” script to seek out a MIS required field that is otherwise not triggered to indicate an error when left null.

• The most common neglected fields are on PEAEMPL

MIS Data Validation

• PEAEMPL has several fields that can be left null:

• Employee Group• District• Hiring Location• Marital Status

MIS Data Validation

• Consider a scheduled “sweep” using SQL to check for a match of STRS/PERS setting on PEAEMPL and the job.
