Where can I find instructions for performing tasks in EIMS?
The first grouping of links in the Navigation Sidebar take you to EIMS application "How to..." guides. Each "How to..." guide walks you through performing an activity in EIMS. It contains an overview of the process and a summary of the steps involved, followed by detailed instructions with screen shots from the EIMS application. Red markings on the screen shots highlight or describe screen content.
Where can I go for information about the EIMS database?
The following links in the Navigation Sidebar take you to web pages that contain information about the EIMS database:
Overview: a brief synopsis of the system (what is EIMS and who uses it?),
Terminology: definitions of expressions and terms commonly used in the training material,
Conventions: an explanation of application conventions (how to navigate within the application, how to use the pick lists and pop up screens, what symbols / icons indicate, etc.), and
Field Definitions: definitions for all fields displayed in the application.
Does EIMS have online help?
To facilitate accurate population of metadata (data about data), EIMS offers content-specific online help. Simply activate the Help link (in the horizontal menu bar directly above the page header and below the page breadcrumbs) to display the "How to..." guide for that page.
Additionally, you can access this training material from the User Guide link in the Navigation Sidebar.
