DATAAPS is a web-based data entry application that uses exception-based logic to allow employees to enter time and attendance information while selecting and charging time to the associated job order/task (e.g., leave, overtime, compensatory time, wellness). As a feeder system, DATAAPS provides Source Data Automation (SDA) files via secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) to DCPS for civilian payroll processing.
There are three (3) role types in the application, listed from least to most privileged:
- Non-Privileged, Non-Sensitive
- Non-Privileged, Sensitive
- Privileged, Sensitive
DATAAPS supports:
- Secure public key infrastructure (PKI)/public key enabling (PKE) access
- Functionality that helps control and encrypt the data at rest of personally identifiable information (PII) and supports privacy impact assessment (PIA)/privacy advisory (PA) separation and limitation of access
- Cost reduction through the elimination of duplicative time and attendance system administration and inefficient resource utilization, enabling resources to focus on other priorities
- Standard backup and disaster recovery policy and procedures and established Continuity of Operations (COOP) plans to ensure payroll files are transferred to DCPS
- Alignment with the following federal/DoD strategies:
- The Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI) to reduce the total number of federal data centers
- Reduction of duplicate functionality applications identified in PortfolioStat
- Standardization of, and migration to, Joint Solutions
