TRAINING & EVENTS
Spring 2012

TracDat Basics: (2.5 hours session)
For those with no previous TracDat experience. This session will cover: logging into TracDat, navigating, department setup, entering plans and entering results, and using various TracDat reports.

Entering New Plans and Results into TracDat (1.5 hour session)
Learn the steps needed to enter your 11-15 strategic plan and to enter results to complete your OIE Annual Progress Report. While you will learn various aspects of the TracDat software in this workshop, the focus will be on getting your 2011-2015 Strategic Plan and results for the OIE report into the software rather than on teaching the entire software system.

TracDat for Planning Groups: Entering 11-15 Plans, Results and Special Features
Planning Groups have many features available to them in TracDat which are not available to the Reporting Unit level. This TracDat for Planning Groups session will walk you through entering the new 2011-2015 plans, results for previous plans as well as demonstrating the many ways in which TracDat can be useful to EKU Planning Groups.
