    Enter Data As (EDA) Mode is a setting in the HMIS that allows users to enter data as if they are that specific project or agency. Users entering data in standard or default mode enters data as their affiliated organization. 

    Besides specifically trained administrators, ONLY Housing Resource Specialists (formally Skilled Assessors) that are entering data for Chicago Coordinated Entry System (CES) - Skilled Assessors Project (1474) should be using EDA mode. Using this mode to enter data for other projects will cause unexpected visibility issues within the organization and further delays in getting the participant housed.

     

    How to Use EDA Mode

    EDA mode is turned on in the top right corner of the dashboard. 

    • When OFF, "Enter Data As" is by itself, in regular text. 
    • When ON, "Enter Data As" is bolded and is followed by a clickable blue link indicating what project the user is entering data as. 

    EDA Mode is turned OFF by clicking the blue indicated project. 

     

    The following is a video that walks through how to use EDA Mode:
