Global View Module EHMIS users need access to view Installers from other counties. Concern: Comment: The Global View Module was set as a low priority feature of EHMIS during the initial build and roll-out. Currently, the Global View business rules are restricting users from viewing records from other counties. CDP has been made aware that this feature is a high priority for local users. Resolution: CDP will resume work on the Global View Module as an urgent priority. Implementation date: All system updates were implemented and Global View allows users to view records across the State as of Friday, January 6, 2012. OSS Module The OSS Module is cumbersome and not intuitive. The one-size-fits-all design does not work. Comment: New EHMIS came equipped with the OSS Module. During the “full-blown” design of the new EHMIS, the State-level decision was made to use screens that would capture all data. These screens may look similar to OSSTS, but the flow is different. The OSS Module was designed under the assumption that users would enter records into EHMIS as the activities were conducted in the field. We’ve learned that most users prefer to hold the data and attempt to enter everything at once. Resolution: CDP and the State have been considering alternative designs for months. Major differences between each District’s processes have made this a difficult task. Functionality that fits one District will create obstacles for another District. Currently, CDP and the State are looking at simplifying the Module. TBD. Planned Implementation date: Owned Facilities Issues regarding the routing of – “fees” State Owned Establishments and their respective charges/payments have been appearing on financial reports at the local District level. Comment: There are some State Owned Establishments whose A/R data should appear on financial reports at the local level. Other State Owned Establishments pay their fees to the State via an process. When an “Inter-Account” “Inter-Account” Establishment’s fee appears on the local District financial reports, it distorts the totals and creates confusion. Resolution: CDP will be adding a new field to the Establishment record for (Yes/No).” If is set to then the Establishment’s “Inter-Account” “Yes,” charges/fees will not appear on the financial reports at the local District level. CDP will work with the State to identify all existing Inter-Account Establishments. When
