WISEstaff: Suggestions for Getting Started

If your purpose on the WISEstaff application is to complete items for the preliminary audit or in preparation for the snapshot, it is recommended that you start on the Staff Collection Checklist section.
Using the Staff Collection Checklist and the Data Quality Dashboard is the most effective way of navigating through the WISEstaff application because of how information is listed and mostly because the hyperlinks on each bring you directly to the screen in WISEstaff with just a click.
The tutorial below has information listed according to the order it appears on WISEstaff. moving across the menus and tabs, from left to right. The term ‘menu’ refers to the terms listed in the top/purple row of WISEstaff. The term ’tab’ refers to the items listed below each menu item in the bottom/ white row.
WISEstaff: User Guide
The WISEstaff portal is very nearly identical to the WISEid portal. You should also notice that by clicking on the expander tool (tiny triangle) next to the words WISEstaff in the upper left corner, you can toggle between WISEid and WISEstaff, as some functions in one portal require work to be completed in the other.
Across the top of the WISEstaff portal screen is a dark colored band with the following menu topics:
Home
- Home Overview
- Data Quality Dashboard
- Staff Collection Checklist
Staff Collection Checklist Step-by-Step Guide: Use this to complete steps for the Annual Staff Audit.
