Are there any "clean-up" reports in Business Intelligence Tool (BIT) that the courts should run to get ready for implementation of the CLJ-CMS?

 

There are a number of new and updated reports available in Business Intelligence Tool (BIT) that Courts of Limited Jurisdiction (CLJ) can begin to run to get ready for the CLJ-CMS project.  To make it easier for the courts to locate these clean-up reports, a new folder was created in the CLJ Statewide Reports folder in BIT called "Clean-up."  The reports can be run now to do some initial clean-up of the court's records but can also be run periodically to make sure there are no new issues.  For assistance with scheduling a report to run in BIT see eService Answer: Schedule BIT queries to run automatically.

NOTE: These reports will not replace any clean-up reports that may be sent to the courts in the Data Quality efforts that are occurring.  Those reports will address major data quality issues in the court records that need to be addressed prior to conversion to the new system.  Instead, these reports address more routine data clean-up matters, like your 10 year Write-Off Eligible cases, that can be done on an on-going basis.  Newly added reports are indicated with three red asterisks (***) by the name in the table of contents.

The reports that are available in the new folder are listed below.  Some of the reports available in the new folder may be similar to existing reports but have been updated with additional details or by utilizing the Accounting items that are now available in BIT while other reports are newly built reports created specifically for this clean-up effort.  Additionally, a few reports listed in the Clean-up folder are actually links to the existing reports that are in the CLJ Statewide or Accounting folder; they were added here so all suggested clean-up reports are available for the courts in one location.

***Attached to the bottom of this answer is a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) to help manage the cleanup reports. This document may be updated as additional questions or help is needed to process the reports.
