Data Entry

Use

Data Entry users, reviewers, and approvers can enter actual and current-period target data, historical information, and future target data.

Features

Data Entry users, reviewers, and approvers have some or all of the following features, depending on settings defined by the Entry and Approval administrator:

• You can enter actual and current-period target data by clicking the yellow arrow on the active step to open the Data Entry screen. For more information, see Data Entry Screen.

• You enter historical information for the measure set by launching a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet using the Historical Data button. For more information, see Historical Data Entry.

• You can enter target data for later time periods by launching an Excel spreadsheet using the Target Data button. For more information, see Future Target Data Entry.

• The My Measure Sets table shows the measure sets assigned to you. The yellow arrow shows that the measure set is assigned to you and active in the current step. The gray arrow shows that the measure step is active for another user. The link from your name gives viewing privileges even when the measure set is active for another user, if you are assigned to one of the workflow steps in the measure set.

• The All Measure Sets table shows every measure set that has been created by the Entry and Approval administrator for the current period, including those assigned to other users.

• The Completed column shows a check when the measure set data is ready to be loaded into the Application Server model.

• You can choose a model from the Database dropdown list. Measure sets are listed on a model by model basis. If there is only one model, it is selected by default.

• You can refresh the view and repopulate the Measure Sets table with the latest status by clicking Refresh in the header bar.
