COMMUNITY PLUS PRE-REQUISITE FOR V52

IN VERSION 52, TASS WILL BE INTRODUCING NAME TOKENISATION.

This enhancement is only supported in Community Mode. As a result, Community Plus is a pre-requisite of Version 52. 

This means that all companies in your TASS instance will need to be Community Plus enabled before you upgrade.

WHAT IS COMMUNITY PLUS?

The Community Plus program provides functionality to find, maintain and manage information about the ‘people’ who make up your school community.

It puts all the information about a ‘person’ into a single record where you can identify who that person is, how that person relates to your school, and how that person relates to other people at your school.

DO I HAVE COMMUNITY ENABLED?

In TASS.web, click on the About button in the toolbar to find out if Community Mode is set to 'Yes'. You’ll need to do this for each company in TASS.

TURNING ON COMMUNITY | An Overview

1. Ensure you are running TASS Version 51.4.095

2. Review the Project Implementation Plan

3. Run the Community ‘Pre-Sweep’ Reports

The most critical task of the Community Plus project is fixing data inconsistencies that will prevent the Final Community Sweep (enabling Community) from running correctly.

These reports have been specifically designed to help your school check, review and prepare your database.

4. Enable Community

Once the ‘Pre-Sweep’ Reports return with no issues, Community Mode can be enabled.

NEED HELP CLEANING YOUR DATA?

After running the Pre-Sweep reports, you’ll have an idea of your data needs in preparation for switching on Community.

These reports will include detail on how to fix data issues and will also help you decide whether to recruit help from TASS or DIY.

Package | Consulting, Data Work & Training Pass 
$1500 +GST

Highly recommended for schools who are not Community 'enabled' in their ‘main’ operating company*. TASS will determine what sweeps require data work. The school will still be required to complete some data cleansing through the User Interface.

* a ‘main’ company is one that’s used for student maintenance.

DIY
No cost

This option is for schools that have minimal data cleansing to complete, or,  for the power users that are confident with resolving the issues in the Pre-Sweep reports and enabling Community themselves.

If you have chosen the DIY option, use the Implementation Project Plan and jump onto the TASS Community Forum to collaborate with others. 

Training Session 
$400 +GST

If your school would like to book a one-on-one training session on how to use Community Plus, please contact Professional Services.

Data Work 
At cost

If your school has completed as much data cleansing as it can, but still needs a little help from TASS, please contact Professional Services.
