3. Why are old reports not good to use?
We all strive to keep the Millennium database as up-to-date and accurate as possible. The Advancement Services office does this by running a number of "validity" reports on a monthly and quarterly basis. From these reports, data entry errors can be isolated and associated with specific user log-ons. In order to reduce data entry operators' workloads and eliminate the need to reenter data, you may receive a telephone call and/or memo concerning data entry errors that have been made. Please feel free to contact Jerome Jackson if you have any questions or need further information.
