Repository Uploads – Monthly Reports & Zero Data
The
SSVF Program Office continues to encourage grantees to ensure data uploads are
of the highest quality possible. Did you know that you can have a
“Successful Upload” with zero data? Each month grantees receive 3 reports
with your upload. However, these reports are looking for file errors or
data entry errors only. Before each upload, grantees need to verify the
CSV file is reviewed and there is data within the file. For more information
about these reports and how best to utilize them to improve data quality,
follow the link below.
