New User Accounts & Orientation

• Users can log into CASCE at http://db.ncahec.net/casce.cfm

• CASCE is an acronym for Centralized Administrative System for Continuing Education.

• CASCE is an online database that all nine NC AHECs use to manage and report continuing education programs.

• Person and organization records in CASCE are shared by all AHECs, so be careful of changes you make! One small change can have widespread results. For instance, changing an organization address might redirect mail to hundreds of persons!

Three steps to get a new user account. Do in this order:

1. Assure that there is a person page in CASCE for the new user.

2. Have the new user create a MyAHEC account at MyAHEC.org.

3. Send an email to the program office’s CASCE new accounts manager at [email protected]. State the new user’s name and the email address used to create his/her MyAHEC account.

PersonPersonal Profile

Person

A person_id is comprised of a person’s last name and the last four digits of their Social Security number (PIN), with no space between. Entering this unique identifier is the first part of setting up a person record.

Click the ½ (1 of 2) button to mark duplicate person records. Follow the instructions that display.

Use this button to deactivate a record.

License information allows outside databases to track credits for some professionals, such as pharmacists.

Always provide discipline, which might be determined from a person’s degrees_certifications, salutation, or license_type or office_title. Make an effort to find out.

Nickname is very important when a person does not go by her first name. During name searches, CASCE searches this field too. CASCE adds quotes around a nickname.

These data fields are for Health Careers person records.

These data fields are populated by the organization record associated with the person’s primary affiliation.

We only market our events to person’s who want promotions.

Primary affiliation is the organization where the person works and receives communications. Persons can have more than one affiliation or practice. See all of the affiliations in Related Views. Click Person can have an Affiliation and page through affiliations with the forward and backward buttons. Take care: Watch the header of the affiliation page. You can “run out” of one person’s affiliation pages and into another person’s affiliation pages.

Both the affiliated organization and city/state/county are chosen from a “pick list” of records already in CASCE.

A correct email address is critical for marketing our events!

Critical Details:

• When creating a new person record, if the person_id is already in use by another person record, add a 1 (a fifth digit) to the person_id. If that person_id has also been used, try adding a 2, and so on, until a unique person_id is found.

• If you record a last-name change, don’t forget to change the person_id also!

You cannot delete an affiliation when it is designated as “primary.” Click the Change button and click the Clear button in the window that displays. Then access the affiliation in Related Views. Click Person can have an Affiliation, locate the affiliation and click the Delete button.

Person

At the bottom of a person page are lists of related records. Click a blue arrow to display a list.

Items in this list are a person’s registrations for events. The blue numbers are navigation links to SR-AHEC records.

Add markets to indicate a person’s topic interests. We reference this information to notify target audiences of continuing education events.

These related records identify receipts from a person, a person’s past due debts, and any event presentations this person has done.

These comment boxes allow entries such as “Vegetarian.”

If a person is self-employed, add this market and give further information (business name, etc.) in the comment box.

Tracks • Electives

• Click the Add button to create a new fee.

Organization1-Contact Details

Org

Some large key organizations, like Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, are locked by the CASCE liaison. Only the person who locked an organization record (or the program office) can unlock and modify it.

To prevent the creation of an organization record for every address at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, we apply this “generic” record for many uses. Mail is directed to CFVMC’s own mail sorting center at PO Box 2000. The sorting center will deliver mail to any CFVMC entity in Fayetteville.

The nickname field stores alternate names for an organization. When you search for a record by name, CASCE looks in the name and nickname fields.

The contents of directions will display in online registration when an event is held at this location:•You can enter directions OR…•You can enter a full URL to a web page or online document (.pdf)

Critical Details:

• Organizations are associated with Event records as the location of the event.

• Organizations are associated with Person records as an Affiliation (workplace).

GroupEvent Registration • Fees

Group

Critical Details:

• Less is more: The more selections you make in Multiple Characteristics, the smaller and more specific will be the population captured.

Selections work like elements in an equation separated by AND or OR. Each element makes your selection more specific.

Target Population = (Region OR County OR States) + Discipline + Occupation + Workplace + Markets

If you make a selection for each element, you will capture very few persons in your group.

Selections in Multiple Characteristics define the person records that you want to capture in your group.

• To de-select Southern Regional, press the Ctrl key on your keyboard and click Southern Regional.

• Press Ctrl and click to make multiple selections.

Group3- Capture/Release Settings

Group

Critical Details:

• Not all the members captured to a group are “eligible for retrieval.”

• When capture/release settings are applied to the group, some members will not qualify to appear on the final membership list. Why? Because some person records have no email address, some persons have requested not to receive promotions, and other such reasons.

1. Captured

2. Settings Applied

3. Eligible for Retrievable

For email campaigns, select both of these settings.

Group4- Capture/Release Settings

Group

Critical Details:

• If you are doing an email campaign, you will capture more persons by selecting eMail and Both for Correspondence Method.

• On a person page, Both implies that they welcome US mail and email. You don’t want to miss those!

• Record the Group Number for use in Arial bulk email campaigns.

If you want to keep your group longer than 6 months, change this expiration date.

We don’t violate a person’s wishes NOT to receive promotions. Nor should we gather from inactive records.

You can capture or release a person. Adding yourself to a group for a mail or email campaign is a good idea for quality control.

Use these settings carefully to retrieve only current and active customers.
