Some of the basic functions that you will perform as part of managing individuals, and the services they receive, are briefly indicated below and covered in detail in the rest of the topics of this chapter. Create an Individual Create an initial account for an individual, with basic login, residential, contact, and profile data. This is the same account and data that individuals create themselves when they register. Refer to the following section for more information. Common Intake* Make decisions based on an individual s background and needs, and start multiple program applications, gather data, and determine their eligibility to participate in various Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-1 V18 05/2018

2 federal programs such as Wagner-Peyser, WIOA, TAA, Adult Education, and others. This lets staff better assist them to find a job, receive training, receive subsidized supportive assistance, or other types of help, which may be available through different program funding. A staff member s access privileges for each program (as well as for common intake) will determine the combined applications they can perform for an individual. Refer to the topic Common Intake Form (Combined Application) on page 3-13 for details. Assist an Individual Search for and select a system-registered individual whose account information you wish to view and/or modify. Any of the profiles personal, employment plan, search history, assessment, case management, and report can be accessed based on staff member privileges. Refer to the topic Assisting an Individual for more information. One Case Note to Multiple Individuals Create one case note and associate it to multiple individuals or employers. WIOA Pre-Applications* View and approve WIOA pre-applications that have been created by individuals using the system. Create Mini-Registration* Complete a condensed form for minimal registration needs, to create mini-registration users quickly, for large events (e.g., job fairs) so job seekers can receive services immediately, and still be tracked. See the topic on page 3-38 for details. Mini-Registration User* View job seekers who have started registration (via mini-registration) and complete their registration, so that staff can help manage them, beyond registration. See the topic on page 3-39 for details on completing full registration for user with a mini-registration. * The asterisk indicates menu options that are configurable, based on purchased modules, and may not display on your site. Creating an Individual Account (Registration) Before you can perform any management functions, or help an individual with any services, the individual must first be registered with the system. Staff can assist the individual in creating the account information (which includes login, residential, contact, profile, military, and other data). This data is considered part of the normal registration and is used later to help manage the individual, create résumés, enroll the individual in programs, and provide services. Note: Note: The steps for staff registering an individual mirror the steps that individuals use to self-register, with the exception of staff related fields at the end of the process. See the topic Registration in chapter 1 of the Individual Services User Guide for more on any of these steps. Sites that include the SNAP program, can be configured to first display a prompt for SNAP Mini- Registration, which is discussed at the end of this registration. The full SNAP Registration is covered in chapter 10, SNAP E&T Program. To create an individual account: 1 Select Manage Individuals Create an Individual from the Navigation Menu. The first of several required registration screens is displayed. The screens you will step through to register include: 1 Login and Primary Identification Data 7 Education Information 2 Name screen (full name) 8 Employment and Farm Worker Information 3 - Address screen (residence and mailing) 9 Desired Job section 4 Phone/ address 10 Ethnic Origin section 5 Preferred Notification Method & Site Access 11 Military Service section 6 Citizenship and Disability 12 Public Assistance section Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-2 V18 05/2018

10 SNAP Mini-Registration Due to the way that referrals are typically processed between DHS and state Virtual OneStop customers, a staff mini registration for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) has been created to support needs related to the limited information provided by DHS. For state customers who purchased the SNAP E&T program module, and configured their site for miniregistration, when staff selects to Create an Individual, a prompt asks, Do you want to create a SNAP E&T mini registration? If staff selects Yes, the SNAP mini-registration prompts staff with screens to enter basic information for the individual to create the initial SNAP mini-registration, which fills some essential information for the full SNAP application, and includes: SSN, primary location, and demographic data SNAP username, phone numbers, phone types DHS Information (participation type, case number, DHS Counselor, Appointment data and information) Completing the information populates a partial SNAP E&T program application on the individual s Programs tab. Staff can continue from the Programs tab to create the full application, and continue the other steps and activities for the SNAP E&T program. To create a SNAP E&T Mini Registration: 1 Select Manage Individuals Create an Individual from the Navigation Menu. 2 Select Yes when prompted to create SNAP E&T mini-registration and click Next>>. The first of four steps (and required registration screens) is displayed. SNAP Mini-Registration Step 1 Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-10 V18 05/2018

13 Common Intake Form (Combined Application) The workforce models and business rules for workforce staff in many states require that after an individual is registered, additional information is gathered specifically for each applicable program Staff can quickly review/edit applications or start new ones for application (e.g., WIOA, TAA) with the assistance multiple programs. of the individual s program case manager. The Add is disabled for programs with case manager assists them with intake/collection Participating or Complete applications. of data for the program application, corresponding forms, and any related validation documents. This is typically performed by staff for each program, one program at a time, and can be tracked for one or many active programs with which the individual is involved (using the Programs tab). This is discussed in the topic, Case Management Folder, Programs Tab, in chapter 4, as well as in chapters 5 through 10 for each individual program. Some customers may also employ a combined enrollment model, where they want to perform initial data gathering for more than one type of program, at the same time, before determining program eligibility. Then they can determine the program the individual will participate in to start any evaluations or enroll in any activities or services. Virtual OneStop includes a unique Common Intake form to address this combined enrollment model. If Common Intake is configured for your system, staff with access for several programs can use a combined application wizard to select multiple programs. The wizard follows the same steps/tabs and structure of the individual programs, but the Common Intake wizard will include areas on each tab to allow combined data gathering for the multiple selected programs. The Common Intake wizard lets staff step through a standard sequence of tabs, one at a time, for their multiple selected programs. The steps/tabs are consistent with those used in the individual programs. Notes to Consider for Common Intake Following are some notes to consider before using the Common Intake form. Sample steps for using the form are described in the topic Sample Steps for Using Common Intake starting on page 3-14 following these notes. Common Intake is a Configurable option It can be configured to be turned on for your site. It is turned Off as the base configuration. Staff must have appropriate Admin privileges If Common Intake is turned on, staff must have the Common Intake privilege (the first privilege under the Individual Programs Tab group in Admin). Staff must also have the appropriate privileges for each selected program (Full or Higher in Admin) in order to select the Add to Intake button for that program. Staff can start from the left menu (without assisting an individual) If staff select Common Intake without managing an individual, a registration screen will first be displayed in order to collect basic contact data, address, SSN, and login data. The next screen after this mini-registration will be the screen for selecting programs to add to the common intake wizard. Staff can start from the left menu (while assisting an individual) If staff members are managing an individual, the Common Intake screen is intuitive the system knows which program applications already exist, and will provide visual indicators of the programs, as well as the status and LWDB for programs already In Progress, Participating, or Complete. From the screen, staff can select programs and start the Common Intake process. Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-13 V18 05/2018

14 Sample Steps for Using Common Intake Following are sample steps to use the Common Intake form, using screens for a typical scenario. This scenario depicts a staff member assisting a recently registered individual (in Registered Only status) using Common Intake to complete application information for possible Wagner-Peyser, WIOA, and TAA program eligibility. To Start the Common Intake Process: 1 Select an individual to assist. 2 Select Manage Individuals Common Intake from the Navigation Menu. A Common Intake Status screen is displayed (as shown below, at left). Any program you select can still be deselected (removed) before you start Common Intake. 3 Review the programs, and click Add for each program to be included in the common application. The buttons will change to Remove when selected. 4 Click the Start Intake button. The first step that displays is the Intro tab (shown above and on the next page). 5 Select desired eligibility dates for each program area. 6 Make any changes to Local Workforce Development Board (LWDB) or Office Location, if needed. Note: If LWDB and Office are not set, you will see a pop-up to select them before step 1 (Intro tab). Each step/tab may have areas for each program if the programs have different requirements for that area. For example, the Intro tab has different Eligibility Date requirements for varying customer groups in programs such as Wagner-Peyser, WIOA, and TAA. From any step, you can click a Hide All Steps link (below the progress bar) to see only the current tab and its position in the sequence (i.e., 1/12). Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-14 V18 05/2018

15 You can click a program to see dates/status, and use a Remove button to remove the program from the Intake. (while continuing with the rest). Each step/screen in the wizard may have multiple areas for the different programs, like the Eligibility Type/Date fields. Common Intake Step 1 Screen (with Wagner-Peyser, WIOA & TAA Selected) 7 Click the Next button. The second step that displays is the Contact tab. 8 Add or change any contact information if needed. The Contact tab does not have separate areas for each program. The required fields are normally pre-filled from registration data (as shown in the following figure). Note: This tab is identical in all programs; however, a selection for Case Manager does not show for Common Intake. Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-15 V18 05/2018

16 9 Click the Next button (at the bottom of the Contact step). Data is saved, and the Demographic step displays. 10 Add or change any demographic information, as needed. The Demographic step, like the Contact step, does not have separate areas for each program. The required fields are normally pre-filled from registration data. 11 Click the Next button. The system saves the data and displays the next screen. After this step, the next steps may differ slightly, depending on the programs selected for Common Intake and any entries configured specifically for your state/site. For example, If Wagner-Peyser was selected, the Farmworker step is next. It functions identical to the description of the Farmworker tab in the topic, The WP Application Form, in chapter 5, for the Wagner-Peyser program. Contact Step (the same for all programs) 12 Move through each step and: Complete all required field entries in each area for the step. Demographics Tab (the same for all programs) Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-16 V18 05/2018

17 Include any verification selections, if shown. Include any entries for non-required fields (if known). Click the Next button. As indicated in the previous three steps, the steps for Common Intake are similar to the same steps in the actual applications, except that some steps will have separate areas/panes for each program selected program (like the separate Eligibility Dates areas for step 1 Intro). The table below has a Yes and a note for each steps in Common Intake that can include multiple program areas. The individual field entries for each step are not described after this table, since they are identical to the fields in the program application steps. For specific questions on fields in any step, refer to the chapter on the related program application. Tab Multiple Program Areas Notes Intro Yes Separate Eligibility Types/Dates for each the customer types for each program. Contact Demographic No No Farmworker No WP: Tab only displays if WP is selected. Education No Employment Yes Some required fields, like under-employer, occupation code for recent employment, or tenure with employer, may not be collected at registration. If not, they must be entered here. For TAA: An additional area displays for TAA Petition and Employer Data. This area includes a Verification control for the entered TAA Petition number. Barriers Public Assistance No No Veteran No Additional fields/selections display if Question 1, 2, or 3 are selections (following the same rules as used in the individual applications). Household & Income No WP: Tab only displays if WP is selected. Miscellaneous Yes WP: If WP is selected, the tab displays a Misc. Info. area with the same State Use code selections, as WP Application. Eligibility Summary Yes WIOA: Tab displays a Misc. Barriers area, with the same selection as WIOA Application, if WIOA Misc. tab has state-specific field defined. Separate summary areas display for each program, using tables or formats similar to the Eligibility Summary tab for each program s application. Verification Note: The Verification links (which are commonly required in WIOA and TAA applications to identify verifying documents) are not currently incorporated in Common Intake. Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-17 V18 05/2018

18 The system will let you reach the Eligibility Summary tab, receive an Eligibility Status of Yes (e.g., for WIOA or TAA), select participation, and start enrollments without completing the verifications required in the individual program applications However, staff should verify all required documentation. The appropriate verification links will be added to Common Intake in a later release. 13 On the last step, Eligibility Summary, staff review the eligibility status of each of the Common Intake application sections. The top of each Application area displays an eligibility status with reasons for ineligibility for each eligibility type related to that application. For example, in the following figure the WIOA area shows that the individual is eligible for WIOA Adult, and indicates the reason the individual is not eligible for Dislocated Worker or Youth. Note: You click on any step at the top of the screen to return to the step and make changes. You can then make changes, click Next, and move back to the Eligibility Summary step. 14 Click Finish to continue. A Finish Application box displays with Participation selections for each application that is eligible. From the bottom of the Eligibility Summary staff can open a Participation Form 15 Click on Participation for the program on which you want to start the participation. Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-18 V18 05/2018

19 16 Enter the participation date in the displayed Participation form, and click Next. The Activity Enrollment screen displays for the first service in the selected application (as shown below for Wagner-Peyser). Next on the Participation form opens an Enrollment form for the Program Note: As soon as Next is clicked on the Participation Form, you have completed the Common Intake. Any selection other than starting an enrollment will direct you to the Programs tab. Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-19 V18 05/2018

20 Quick Search As mentioned at the beginning of chapter 2, above all other items in the left navigation menu, Virtual OneStop offers staff users a Quick Search feature to access a customer s account. In addition to the standard Search for Individuals (described below) and the Search for Employers mechanisms, staff can search for system-registered individuals or employers by entering, minimally, the last four digits of a client s Social Security Number or Federal Employer ID number. The Quick Search is available at the top of the left navigation. It is also always available at the top right of all screens. The Quick Search is based on the last four digits of an individual s SSN, an employer s FEIN, or other criteria. The full range of criteria used in the search can be identified by clicking the Help icon at the right of the search entry field. Note: Typically the match is based on the last four digits; however, this may be configured differently for your site to only match on a different selection (e.g., for certain site SSN encryption, this may only match on the full 9-digit SSN). As staffers enter the search criteria, Virtual OneStop executes an auto complete function to anticipate the complete string entry, and displays match results based on this data entry. As staff enter more numbers, the system reduces the number of match results and will prompt staff to perform the following: If there are five or fewer matches, staff may simply click the desired match to access the specified landing page of the individual or employer account. In the case of more than five matches, the system will also display a message at the bottom of the list of 5, indicating that there are more than 5 users found, and display a link to the typical Individual Search and Employer Search. Virtual OneStop will also display No Records Found if no client records match the entire 9-digit entry. Assisting an Individual Before you can assist an individual, you must identify the registered individual whom you will assist and select their account. This is done by use of a search screen. To search for and select an individual: 1 Select Manage Individuals Assist an Individual from the Navigation Menu. Click to open the individual s Portfolio or to open a preferred landing page. A search window is displayed, allowing you to specify information about the individual you want to assist (as shown in the following figure). 2 You can click a desired name from the top of the screen to quickly access one of the last five accounts you previously accessed, or enter criteria to find a desired individual. Note: When you select someone, Currently Managing displays on the navigation menu and provides links to the folders, profiles or specific landing pages. You can also click to assist another individual, or stop assisting the individual and work in areas not related to a specific individual. A flag and/or (MSFW) will also display next to the name if the individual is a veteran, or a Migrant Seasonal Farm Worker. 3 Enter your desired search criteria in one or more of the text boxes, buttons or controls, as shown in the sample figure below. Note: You can click a My Search List link at the top of the screen if you previously saved a search. This displays saved groups of individuals from previous searches. Selecting a list displays the saved individuals; it does not repeat the search. Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-20 V18 05/2018

21 The Quick Assist You can use the Quick Assist drop-down lists (at top of the screen) to pick an individual you recently assisted, or one assigned in you case load (if you have assigned cases). The number of people you recently assisted, which are displayed in a drop-down list, can be set to as many as 25 under My Staff Account. Individual Search Screen (Basic) Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-21 V18 05/2018

22 Note: Search criteria are NOT case sensitive. To enter a name search, you can type part of a person s name (like ch to find the first names Charles, Charlie, or Chuck), or you can enter the first letter of the first name and first two letters of the last name. You can make selections in multiple boxes among the different types of search criteria. The more criteria you select, the narrower your search will be and the smaller the number of results. 4 To access additional search criteria, click More Search Options. The system responds by displaying an extended individual search screen, as seen in the following sample figure. Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-22 V18 05/2018

23 The many possible criteria for finding an individual is quite large, but you can quickly navigate to the criteria group from the top of the screen. Note: Individual Search Screen (Extended Options) The display or usability of some extended search criteria will depend on features configured for your system (such as WorkKeys Performance filters or Agency Codes). 5 Staff can employ any combination of search criteria to access desired account information.

Column Sort Control from Individual Search Results, Detailed View Wagner-Peyser Re-Enrollment Prompt When a staff member attempts to assist an individual who has a closed Wagner-Peyser participation (e.g., they have exited from the Wagner-Peyser program), the system automatically displays a screen to let staff review/change the individual s participation information and then re-enroll them in the Wagner- Peyser (WP) program. This allows the system to record any Wagner-Peyser activities for federal reporting purposes. Note: The system will display this prompt until staff (or the individual working unassisted) modify the user s profile and click Enroll Now. Staff will perform the following steps to manage the WP re-enrollment prompt: If staff want to bypass the WP re-enrollment effort, they click Do not enroll. The system will bypass creation of a Wagner-Peyser enrollment and participation record, and will not update participation information for the individual. It then displays the appropriate screen based on which link staff clicked (User Name link vs. Action link). Note: The Do Not Enroll option is targeted to WIOA program staff who may not want to enroll their client in Wagner-Peyser. Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-28 V18 05/2018

29 If staff want to re-enroll the individual in the Wagner-Peyser program (for the benefit of reporting WP services provided to the individual), they must complete the Participation Information section to include an initial service activity from the list box. To complete the transaction, they click Enroll Now. The system will create a new Wagner-Peyser enrollment and participation record (with the selected Initial Service activity completed). It then displays the appropriate screen based on which link staff clicked (User Name link vs. Action link).

31 Staff s Profiles (default tab from individual search) For details of each profile option, refer to the topic Managing My Individual Profiles. One Case Note to Multiple Individuals The system allows staff members to create one case note, and then associate one or more individuals to the case note. This saves the staff member time, as a single case note can be used for multiple customers. The screen for entering the case note will be similar to the traditional Case Note Composition screen, but will have a Search for Individuals link at the bottom, which allows the staff member to search for and select desired individuals from the displayed search results. The staff member enters information in a variety of fields for the Case Note Details, such as Program, LWIA/Region, and Office Location, then enters text for the Case Note Description. Case note information can also be auto-filled using a case note template, if available. One Case Note to Multiple Individuals Screen Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-31 V18 05/2018

32 Once the information for the case note is entered, the staff member clicks the Search for Individuals button to locate the individuals to whom the case note should be associated. This search functions identically to the search used to locate individuals in order to assist them. Add any additional search criteria, and click Search again. (Program Participation and LWIA/Region are filled from pervious screen.) From the Search Results screen, check the Select boxes for individuals to get the Case Notes, and then click the Continue button. The search results for the individual search will display under a Case Notes Recipient(s) area, and will let the user add or remove multiple individuals to or from the list. Note: The Case Note for Multiple Users does not require that staff use a case note template to auto-fill certain fields, but fields that may be automatically filled in, for case notes when created for the user in a specific location (e.g., Program LWIA/Region, Office) are still required, and must be selected if they are not auto-filled by a selected template for multiple users. The Case Note Attachments and Case Note History can be accessed when each case note is opened from the user s specific Case Notes tab. The system display the case note Details and the Case notes Recipients in two different sections of the final screen, as shown in the following figure: Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-32 V18 05/2018

33 Case Note with Multiple Recipients When the case note is saved, all the selected recipients for the case note will receive the case note, and it will be visible on each individual s Case Notes tab. You can access a training video in the Learning Center, or click this link to see more details on Staff - Case Note for Multiple Users WIOA Pre-Applications If your site is configured for the WIOA Pre-Application feature, job seekers who may be eligible for WIOA, or additional training services, can start a WIOA Pre-Application after registration, or check their WIOA eligibility at any time (e.g., from the dashboard via their My Benefits Plan widget). Virtual OneStop will allow individuals to create a self-service WIOA pre-application after they have registered in the system (accessed a one of the options on the What would you like to do next? page at the end of registration). This pre-application can also be accessed by individuals either through the My Benefits Plan widget, or the corresponding Benefits Profile. Create WIOA Pre-Application The WIOA Pre-Application wizard that is launched helps individuals to determine if they are qualified for services under WIOA, and to supply WIOA information and verification documents before contacting onestop staff for case management assistance. This will improve efficiency and save time for both the job seeker and one-stop staff. The WIOA pre-application provides a step-by-step wizard to help individuals Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-33 V18 05/2018

34 supply required WIOA information and verification documents. The screens explain what WIOA is, and how individuals can review the WIOA pre-applications. More on how the individual uses the wizard is described in the topic following the description below on how staff see and approve or convert existing WIOA Pre-applications. Viewing / Approving WIOA Pre-Applications For customers with the WIOA Application feature configured for their system, the staff member can see the WIOA Pre-applications when they select Manage Individuals > WIOA Pre-Applications. From the display of pre-applications, staff can then choose to approve each pre-app, view a pre-app summary, or delete the pre-applications. Staff can review the WIOA preapplications, and approve or delete them. They can also see the pre-app for the individual on their Programs tab. WIOA Pre-Application (Listed by LWIA and or Office/OneStop) Staff members can Approve the pre-application, view a Summary of it (as a PDF print form), or Delete the application. If the staff member chooses to Approve the application: A screen will let them choose to convert the application to a full WIOA application. After supplying the application and eligibility dates confirming the LWIA and office, and clicking the "Convert Application" button, the application will be created and marked as Partial. Staff will be redirected to the starting page of the WIOA Application wizard to verify the information (and they will be assisting that individual, which will display under Currently Managing on the left navigation menu). Staff can also select a convert preapplication link for the individual on their Programs tab if they haven t approved the pre-application. Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-34 V18 05/2018

35 WIOA Pre-Application Link on Programs Tab If no staff member has accepted the pre-application, and a staff member assisting that individual opens their Programs tab, the tab will display a link to convert the WIOA Pre-Application. Staff can use this link to start the WIOA application using the individual s pre-application information. Whether staff choses to Convert Application using the WIOA Pre-Applications list, or the link on the programs tab, the selection will take a few seconds to perform the conversion and then display the WIOA Application Tabs (or Progress Bar) for the converted application. Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-35 V18 05/2018

36 The Individual s WIOA Pre-Application Screens Job seekers can use the WIOA pre-application wizard to guide them through screens to determine if they are qualified for services under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). These may include intensive adult training services or specialized youth services. This will improve efficiency and save time for both the job seeker and one-stop staff by gathering required information and letting the job seeker attach or upload required documents. The basic screens for the WIOA-Pre-Application are presented here in case staff need to assist individuals in performing pre-applications. The WIOA Pre-Application is designed to gather the necessary information to determine eligibility for WIOA Adult, Dislocated Workers, and Youth. DEO can configure the system to request the WIOA Pre-Application as soon as the individual registers in Virtual OneStop. The WIOA pre-application provides a step-bystep wizard to help individuals supply WIOA information and verification documents. The screens explain what WIOA is, and how individuals can determine whether they may be eligible for any available programs or services (this text is configurable for each customer). Users can save time when they visit the onestop by supplying the WIOA information, as well as uploading verification forms, through the Virtual OneStop system. This system informs the individual that this is only preliminary eligibility preparation, and that they are required to meet with staff to complete their eligibility. The following screens ask questions, helping the individual supply the education, employment, disability, veteran, and assistance information necessary for the WIOA application. The system will gather information they already entered during system registration and will pre-fill some information on the WIOA Pre-App screens. It will prompt the individual if they make any selections that contradict their basic registration information. After the individual has completed the WIOA pre-application questions, they will see the Docs page for uploading files required for eligibility. Individuals can skip this step and bring the documents with them when they meet staff at the one-stop; however, if the system configuration includes the Self-Service Document module, they can upload the documents to save time. The individual will have the ability to upload required electronic files, or scan the documents (depending on system options), which will let staff see those document files for verification when they create and process the full WIOA application. These WIOA Pre-Application Start Page WIOA Pre-Application Progress Bar Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-36 V18 05/2018

37 uploaded documents will automatically be associated with the appropriate WIOA verifications when staff members convert the individual s WIOA Pre-Application information to a full WIOA application. Note: Since the WIOA Pre-Application includes a page for individuals uploading documents, it requires the Document Management module. Any documents uploaded via the WIOA Pre Application will show in the individual s Documents tab, and be available for use in verification of the application. Once they have completed the questions and uploaded any related documents, the individual s preliminary eligibility information displays on a summary screen. If they want to continue, they will submit the application online. From the summary screen, they can view a summary report as well as a list of any uploaded documents. They can also print these summaries. The screen displays the contact information for the nearest one-stop office. Notification of the application will be sent to the appropriate one-stop office staff (identified by the state agency) through a look-up notification table. Staff members who are designated to receive these pre-applications will receive a system alert, notifying them of the new pre-application. Should the individual elect not to participate in the WIOA program, the pre-application will be closed by the system after 90 days of inactivity. When the individual has finished the WIOA pre-application, it will display for staff on the Programs tab as a Convert WIOA Pre-Application link. WIOA Pre-Application Upload Documents At this point, the staff member assisting the individual can convert the preapplication. The system displays all the WIOA Pre-Application View Documents relevant information from the individual s pre-application to speed the process of creating the standard WIOA Application. If the individual has uploaded documents, the staff member will see the marked verification, the type of verification document, and (if they have purchased the Document Management feature), they will be able to view the uploaded document.

38 Creating a Mini-Registration (as Staff) The mini-registration enables individuals (or staff on their behalf) to complete a condensed data-entry form to satisfy minimal system registration requirements. Mini-registration is ideal for large events (such as job fairs) where many job seekers must quickly be registered to provide services, and still track and report the services the one-stop agency provides to these individuals. When individuals are able to perform their own mini-registration, a link is added to the home page (typically near the login area, with a title such as Job Fair Mini-Registration). However staff can also select Manage Individuals > Create Mini-Registration to quickly conduct system registration for their customers, from the navigation menu. As staff quickly completes each mini-registration, the final screen is saved and refreshed for another registration. To create a Mini Registration- 1 Select Manage Individuals Create Mini Registration. A blank mini-registration screen is displayed.

39 Mini-Registration Users (Complete Registration) The Mini-Registration (described above) lets staff perform system registration for many individuals, quickly, at large events such as job fairs. Users who were registered using the Mini-Registration cannot be found and selected through the Assist an Individual search since they are considered as only partial or incomplete registrants. However, staff can quickly retrieve a list of all the mini-registration users, and click on any of them to complete a full registration. From the list of matching results displayed, staff can easily access the desired account name, and access the individual s General Information tab of the individual s Personal Profile (which is where details of system registration are maintained). To complete a Mini Registration: 5 Select Manage Individuals Mini Registration Users. A table of mini-registrants is displayed, with links for completing their registration. 6 Locate the mini-registrant whose registration you wish to complete, and click the Complete Registration link.

Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-40 V18 05/2018

41 Personal Profile Folder The Personal Profile folder under My Individual Profiles contains five tabs: General Information Contains basic information on the individual compiled from their registration form. A Staff Information section allows staff members to reset their password, change their User Name, view or edit the individual s Social Security number, change region or office, and view an audit trail of edits and modifications pertaining to the individual. Available options will be dependent upon the staff member s privileges in the system. Background Contains information that could eventually become part of the individual s résumé, such as employment history, education history, honors, awards, and other related activities. Activities Presents a questionnaire that asks the individual where they need assistance and, based on their responses, will guide them to specific sections of the system. Memo Allows an individual to write a reminder or memo to themselves, and allows staff to maintain information about them as well. Documents Allows an individual to upload or scan documents, such as a birth certificate or copy of a driver s license, for use in the system. The following sections will outline these tabs in more detail. General Information Tab The General Information tab contains information from the individual s registration form. This information can be edited or modified as necessary, such as an address or phone number. To make any changes, click in the boxes or use the drop-down list or other controls as indicated in the following sample figures. Individuals can edit any of this information on their own, but staff can also change it. This tab also contains a Staff Information section, which is available only for staff use. This allows staff members to conduct specific changes. This link opens a control to view records related to an Audit Trail for individual records, including Account Retrieval History. General Information Tab Staff may use several fields/tools on this tab to view or enter changes, which the individual cannot do themselves. Some of the more noteworthy tools include: Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-41 V18 05/2018

42 Staff Information (none of this section displays for the individual): Registration Office Besides the fields for selecting the Assigned LWIA and the Assigned Office, the Registration Office displays as a link to open a screen for selecting/changing the initial registration Region and Office. Account Reset Help individuals who forgot their username, password, or security question response. For details, see the Resetting an Individual s Account (Password/Security Question) topic below. Social Security Number The View/Edit SSN link lets staff help individuals who incorrectly provided their SSN. Changes here are carried through to the WP Application.

If they need to change the LWIA Region/Office associated with the initial registration, which can occasionally be incorrect, they can click the Registration office name link to open a screen for making those changes (e.g., JobsPlus Crestview ). A separate screen will display to identify new registration office information. Resetting an Individual s Account (Password / Security Question) If a staff member is contacted by an individual user who has forgotten their username, password, and/or security question response, this feature will assist staff in resetting the account information so that the user can log in to the system. When staff click the Click here to reset account link, the system will display a selection screen, as shown in the following figure. Reset Account Options Screen Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-42 V18 05/2018

43 Staff should confirm the individual s address and click Send to complete the action. In response, the individual will receive an explaining how to access the Virtual OneStop site. Upon accessing the Virtual OneStop login page, users will enter their user name and type password as their interim password. Next, the system will display a window where the user is prompted to provide personal information for security purposes. They complete the data entry and click Verify to proceed. Note: If users are unable to provide the required information, they can click Go To Contact Staff Page for further assistance at the bottom of the screen. Once the system verifies the user s personal information, it prompts them to provide their new password, confirm it, and provide their security question response. Users enter the information and click Verify to proceed. Viewing/Editing an Individual s SSN Traditionally, staff members had to access an individual s Wagner-Peyser (WP) or Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) application to view or edit the Social Security Number (SSN). Although staff (with the appropriate program privileges) may continue to do so, they may also access the individual s General Information tab (of the Personal Profile) to view or edit the SSN. When staff click the View/Edit SNN link, the system displays a View/Edit SNN screen. Staff may use this screen to type the updated SSN in the space provided and click Save to secure their edits. As a result, the system displays a confirmation screen to indicate that you successfully changed the SSN. Note: The system will modify the SSN as it appears in the WP and WIOA application(s) for this individual. Individual Audit History To view tables of records containing audit information for the individual, the staff member can click the View individual history link. The system will display a selection screen, as shown in the following figure. You can make audit table selections, and select fields from the table to display.

44 Merge Individual Potential Duplicate Accounts Because Virtual OneStop is a Web-based system that helps individuals work in self-service mode, it is possible for a single individual to create multiple accounts. This might occur if the customer forgets their login information, and instead of retrieving this data, they re-register in Virtual OneStop. Although the system performs edit checks to prevent account duplication, users can provide false information and create a seemingly duplicate account. The result can be multiple account profiles that maintain pieces of service histories for the same individual, which can negatively impact local, state, and federal reporting efforts. The Merge Individuals feature enables staff to rectify the issue of multiple customer accounts. Potential Duplicate Accounts When authorized staff initiate the merge function working from the customer s main account, the system first identifies potential duplicate accounts by matching any of the following profile data in the system database: First Name. Last Name, Similar SSN First Name. Last Name, Same DOB First Name. Last Name, Same Zip The system identifies the potential matches; staff may determine the validity of the potential duplicate account(s), and if agreeable, perform the merge process. As a result, Virtual OneStop will display a merge summary screen. Merge Individuals If there are not matches as potential duplicate accounts, but staff is aware of a duplicated account, they can click the Merge Individuals link and use standard search tools to identify the known duplicate account. The screen will display data for the master account and the account from which data is to be merged (as shown below). Merge Data Compare Screen Virtual OneStop Staff Services User Guide 3-44 V18 05/2018

45 Note: The Merge will not execute if there are overlapping enrollments in WIOA or TAA. You can access a training video in the Learning Center, or click this link to see more details on Staff - Merge Individual User Accounts. Changing an Individual s Password or User Name Under normal conditions, staff should not change an individual s password to another specific password; they should reset the password as part of resetting the account. Individuals should determine their own password. Staff should also generally not change an individual s registered user name. Changing either the password or user name could cause confusion in access for the individual. However, there may be times when, as an exception, it is necessary to manually change the password or the user name. For such instances the change is possible for some staff with the appropriate administration permissions, from the Login Information area. To change a Password: Click the Click here to change password link. Enter the new password, and reenter/confirm the new password. Click the Update Password button. To change a User Name: Click the Change User Name link. Enter the new user name. Click the Save button. Background Tab Note: The Background tab is identical in use and function for the Individual and for Staff, with the exception of the Employer Indicator, described below. For more details on the rest of the tab, including the Background Wizard, see the topic, Your Background Tab, in chapter 2 of the Individual Services User Guide. The Background tab provides details of the individual s employment, educational, training, desired locations, salary, availability, and other background data that may be pertinent to matching the individual with a job. The Background Wizard steps the user through the process of successfully creating and saving background information. Once this information is completed, the individual can use the entered information to create a résumé or online application. The Employer Indicator section of the Background tab only displays for staff. It allows a staff member to identify to employers that they have reviewed or verified the background information for the individual. When the staff member selects a drop-down (Reviewed or Verified), the bottom of the section is updated to indicate the date and time when the staff member completed the review or verification (as shown below).

89 Using the Staff Profiles (Overview) This section is only a very brief introduction. Staff Profiles control important components (particularly the Programs tab under Case Management). Separate chapters describe Case Management, and each program controlled by the Programs tab, in detail. Review full chapters for details on staff profiles, and each program, starting with chapter 4. Staffs Profiles provides a web-based solution for counselors, case managers, and other supervisory staff members to enter and share information about participants who receive support or training services through a federal program. Options exist for Wagner-Peyser (WP), Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act program (WIOA), TAA, and for other programs that may be defined on a local or non-federal level. The Staff s Profiles screen displays your staff-specific folders for the individual you are managing. Only staff members see this profile. Individuals do not have privileges to review, add, or modify any information in this profile. The Staff s Profile comprises the following sub-folders: General Profile Enables staff to review case management summary information on the individual, create case notes, or conduct Wagner-Peyser services. Case Management Profile Enables staff to manage services for various federal programs, create an Individual Employment Plan, and maintain recorded case management assessments. Report Profile Enables staff to review the tasks an individual has done, areas they accessed in the system, and review their self-assessments and assessments monitored by staff. General Profile The General Profile folder under the Staff s Profile contains four tabs: Summary Contains basic case management and general information about the individual through several summary panels. It is a perfect location for staff members to review an individual s background. Case Notes Lets staff create case notes pertaining to the individual. It is also a central location for all individual case notes no matter where they are created. Activities Lets staff review an individual s involvement in the Wagner-Peyser program. It is also one of two locations where Wagner-Peyser services can be entered. Documents (Staff) Provides staff with the ability to interactively upload/import or scan documents into Virtual OneStop for an individual, and attach the electronic documents to a client record with links identifying how the document is associated to the record (i.e., Document Association fields).

Verification Summary Panel displays a quick summary of all verifications that were performed or recorded for any program applications in which this individual has been enrolled. The display can be filtered by program to list each of the verification items related to a specific program. Summary Tab, Case Summary Panel All of the verifications identified as part of the program applications can be listed quickly on this tab. If the verifications included scanning or uploading of images for the verification documents, those images may also be viewable from this tab. Verifications are normally created in-context during applications, and the associations with the program applications can be quickly viewed from this summary to help determine what verification documents are still needed. See chapter 4 for more on this tab and its different panels. Also see chapter 30 - Manage Documents and the topic, In-Context Scanning, Linking, and Viewing, in that chapter, for more on the Verification Summary Panel, and its connection to the summary display of document linked to verifications.
