WISEstaff: Suggestions for Getting Started

WISEstaff Reference Guide for Administrators

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.

Since the Staff Collections Checklist and Data Quality Dashboard will not follow this same sequence, you will need to utilize the hyperlinks throughout the tutorial to follow information on steps that require the use of multiple menus and tabs.
