​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Accomplishments

​It's easier than ever to enter, view and work with your accomplishments. The buttons to Enter Data and View Data are right there on your CCB Dashboard. You now have the ability to save a view so you see the data you want each time you view your data. There is also a new Data Sheet entry option. Hope you enjoy these new options.

Enter Accomplishments​​  

You enter data about your organization's activities, which are called Accomplishments, in the Community Check Box (CCB). The CCB generally captures the following types of data in Accomplishments: Community Action (CA), Community Change (CC), Development Activity (DA), Services Provided (SP), Resources Generated (RG), Media (M) and Other (O) – as well as other customized data that your group has determined to collect. It is important to note that the exact data options you see will depend on the customizations that have been made to meet the unique needs of your group.

NOTE: ​Be sure that you are familiar with the Coding Instructions and Definitions before you begin entering Accomplishments.


To enter an Accomplishment:​

  1. To create an entry click on the Enter Data button on the Dashboard. 

    NOTE: If you have more than one CCB form on your site you can select a different form by clicking on Accomplishments in the left navigation list, selecting the form you want, and then click New.
     

  2. Select items fr​om drop-down menus by clicking the arrow located to the right of the entry field to see the options and choose the most relevant option(s).
  3. Select or deselect check boxes by clicking the box.
  4. When you select some options (e.g., Code), you will notice that a new set of questions appear.
  5. You will see this help icon HelpIcon.jpg associated with some of the questions. Click on it for information to help you answer the question.
  6. If your CCB form contains a frequency field, you will see that 1 is the default. Only enter a different number if the activity you are documenting happened more than once. For example, if you gave the same presentation to three schools, you could enter 3 here instead of creating three separate entries. This special frequency field will multiply the numerical data, and some of the dropdown or multiselect data, by this number.​​
  7. Once you are finished entering information about an Accomplishment, click on:
    1. Save if you need to add Participants DescriptionKey Event or File(s)—select the appropriate sidebar tab and complete the fields shown.

      NOTE: If you are attaching a file, please note that the ​CCB only allows xls, xlsx, doc, docx, pdf, bmp, gif, jpg and png files to be uploaded.

    2. Save and Close if this is the only entry you want to complete. This will return you to the accomplishments listing.
    3. Save & Add Another if you want to add another entry. 
  8. Once an accomplishment is created, all changes are recorded in the Change Details sidebar tab. You can see when the accomplishment was created, as well as details about any changes made to the original entry.
