United States Power Squadrons 800 System Rewrite • Why • What • Where P/C Dan Bartell, SN SEO Shallotte River, D-27 Member IT Committee >>
Why a Rewrite was needed • Existing system was 15 years old. • The web environment has changed. • New data is available on the Server. • New requirements like USPS University and Trial Membership. • Need to support both web based tools anyone can use and tools specific to Windows based PCs.
General Directions • Track USPS Advance grades and elective courses. • Support Member & Non-member Costs. • Use logon and Jobs held data for security (OD-1 & OD-2). • Web based student input and tracking. • Make boating course completion information available online.
Boating Couse Completions • Last 6 years of ED26s & ED27s are online. • Searches are available against this data. • Entry of missing ED26s & ED27s. • Generation of Certificates & cards will be available for those lost as soon as I get the graphics. • Import facility from BCA 2010 and the workbook. (BCA 2011?)
Student Tracking • Online boating course student entry and tracking with a student database. • Supports all browsers and OS platforms. • Automatic entry of online registrants and automatic USPS University Enrollment. • Entry of a passing grade automatically generates an ED26.
Student Tracking • A nightly run automatically generates ED27s with DEO, SEO, and NASBLA notifications. • ED26s and ED27s are sent to HQ and entered in the online databases. • Students can be imported from BCA 2010 and the WorkBook. • BCA 2011 has a fully functional interface.
Student Tracking • BCA 2011 interface provides, boating course & seminar creation, downloads and uploads. Interface is completely integrated. • Mixed mode tracking is possible but not recommended. • BCA 2010 & the Workbook are not directly supported by the new 800 system.
Student Tracking • The 800 online system can generate Certificates & Cards for preformatted forms, blank forms or blank paper. • The 800 system provides the ability to send emails to a selected set of students. • Student emails are validated.
Student Tracking • The 800 system provides state reports & student lists. • Student data is deleted 90 days after course start date. Those passing are on the ED26 database, and those becoming members or USPS University members are on the membership database. • A lot more is possible I need input from you to tell me what else is needed.
Seminar Completions • The 800 system has an online entry process for seminar completions. • It distinguishes between member completions and non-member completions for ease of input. • It is fully interfaced with BCA 2011.
Time Frames • The new 800 system is online now. • It’s starting page has a link to the old 800 system. • That link will be removed by the end of February. (Depends on BCA 2011) • BCA 2010 and Workbook ED26, ED27 & ED46 interfaces will no longer work. • You must move to the new online 800 system with or without BCA 2011.
Future Directions • Enhancements to the 800 system will be provided. Let me know what is needed. When they will be available depends on the need, prioritization by the eddept, and the complexity. • There is a lot of pressure from states for complex reporting and we now have all the data in one place. These issues will also be addressed. However, requirements are needed.
