Training and User Support

Training for CIR is provided through a Web-based Training (WBT) program after you have been enrolled in CIR. The WBT allows agency users to train for CIR when it is convenient for them and their agency, to refresh themselves on modules when new assignments are made, provide new staff with training, and retake modules about which users may have less confidence.

Collections Reporting Web Topics: Not just “how to,” but “why”

Collections Reporting Web Topics are brief presentations intended to supplement the information users will review in the Web-based Training (WBT) modules and the online help and reference documents. For example, some Topics provide information about “why” you might choose one report over another or how to decide which parameters to choose on a report to select particular types of collections vouchers. Other Topics provide tips on how to personalize your settings to make your use of CIR a little more efficient. Users will most benefit from the presentations if they have already taken the WBTs and are familiar with the online help and reference documents.

Most Web Topics allow you to view a recorded presentation with voice narration via WebEx (“Streaming version”) and as an Adobe PDF with the same narration printed within the notes. Depending on your computer’s configuration, when you select the Streaming version, the presentation will download and start automatically or you will receive further instructions how to download and play the file. Follow the on-screen directions to access the presentation. The Adobe PDF version may be downloaded and saved to your computer and may also be printed.
