Terms of Use and Support

The OpenCCCApply Pilot environment is meant to be a carbon copy of the Production environment to allow colleges to stage changes in their configurations and test implementations prior to an update or product roll-out. While the Pilot environment is a clone of Production, it is not actively monitored for errors and issues in the same way that the Production environment is. Thus, there is no support team in place to respond to Pilot environment issues. For those colleges currently implementing OpenCCCApply, reporting issues to your project team may not be effective.

...

  1. Navigate to the URL provided by your IT staff for either the Pilot or Production environment.

  2. At the login screen, enter your college credentials for the username and password.

  3. Click the Sign In button.

Customizing Reports

Customizing a Public Report

Some Public reports provide the option to customize the results displayed. You can change the displayed results by removing data, but you cannot add data. For example, in the New Applicant Detail Report, the report includes options to alter the Columns and Group displayed, as well as Filter controls to the right of the report.

...

You can quickly alter the details displayed by clicking the "x" icon for each of the columns to remove that particular column from the report results. For example, after removing some of the columns, the report might look like the example image below.

...

If you want to alter a Public report by adding data to it, you must copy the Public report's corresponding View into your college folder where you can modify it and then create a report from it.

...

  1. In the Public folder, navigate to the "View Folder" that contains the View you want to change.

  2. Copy the View in one of two ways: using the Copy button or the Save As drop-down list option. To Copy the View:

    1. Select the View by clicking the square to the left of the view name. This will make the Copy button on the top of the list active.

...

    1. Image Added

    2. Click Copy.
