Good Morning,
We are implementing use of SP4 as a transition from BlueWren (ItWorks). While it seems like starting with a clean slate would be easier than locked into someone else's design structure, it has its own challenges. Building dynamic/smarter fields to align with what you need/want versus what your historical data includes, and how it is structured, takes quite a bit of time and up front consideration. Thankfully we are entering the final stretches of testing, training, roll out, and creating improvements in the fields for .csv data dumps to use in reporting, or at least associated with Cayuse's current SP4 release. For those of you already using SP 4.0, are there fields you discovered were essential to add in order to make the output of the data more useful for compiling and calculating cumulative totals? Would you be willing to have an offline chat that I could glean from your experience?
Thank you in advance,
Carolyn
