ADMINISTRATIVE COMPUTING AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS (ACT)
January 29, 1996
ALL AT UCSD
SUBJECT: DARWIN/Data Warehouse Training Classes
The ACT Customer Services Training department is pleased to announce the roll-out of the new DARWIN/Data Warehouse training classes.
DARWIN is a data storage and query environment which uses the latest in Graphical User Interface (GUI) technology and direct database access to help make UCSD's information systems (IFIS, ISIS, PPS, etc.) more assessable to the campus.
DARWIN is designed to be easy to use, flexible, and provides UCSD personnel with the ability to create ad hoc and predefined reports on their own departmental desktop computers. DARWIN makes it easy to move data into other computer application areas (WordPerfect, Excel, Lotus, Paradox, etc.). Examples of DARWIN's existing reporting capabilities are the Operating Ledger, Budget and Staffing, Class Lists, Student Browser, Employee, and Employee changes.
ACT Customer Services Training has scheduled several presentations to assist Management and Department Security Administrators with understanding the DARWIN environment.
The presentation schedule is as follows:
Management presentations are scheduled in Garren Hall (Basic Science Bldg.):
1) January 25th, 2:00 - 3:00 P.M.
2) January 30th, 1:30 - 2:30 P.M.
Department Security Administrators (DSAs) presentations are scheduled in Chancellor's Complex, Room 111A:
1) February 2, 12:00 - 1:00 P.M.
2) February 7, 9:00 - 10:00 A.M.
3) February 28, 2:00 - 3:00 P.M. (DCTUG meeting)
