Maine starts HMIS Video Training

Clif Graves — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 20:31:00 +0000

The intent is to produce between one and two training videos a month. This will allow our HMIS users to access training when it fits their schedule and when they need it. Some trainings will be behind a password if they involve proprietary information but when ever possible they will be posted “in the open”.

This video training runs 10 min. It will take you through using the two most important Maine ServicePoint Advanced Reporting Tool reports for shelter providers.

Here is a link to a sample video training.
