You can access your work either through a dashboard or through menu options.

Dashboard

When you log in to DECM, the first screen displayed is your dashboard. Your dashboard has six tables.

Not all tables may have items listed in them.

  • My Active Referrals: This table lists referrals you have created but not yet enrolled or disqualified. Click a name to open and then enroll or disqualify the referral.
  • My Milestones Needing Approval: This table lists milestones that need approval. Click a title to open the milestone and approve it.
  • My Case Notes Needing Approval: This table lists case notes that need approval. Click a title to open the case note and approve it.
  • My Incomplete Assessments: This table lists incomplete assessments. Double-click the white space to the immediate left of the case title to open and complete an assessment.
  • My Cases’ Target Placement Dates: This table lists the target placement dates of all your cases in order by date. Click a case title to view case details.
  • Upcoming Quarterly Development Discussions: This table lists scheduled development discussions in order by date. Double-click the white space to the immediate left of the case title to view or edit appointment details.

Tables display a set number of items. When there are more items than can be displayed at once, the numbers below the table on the left will indicate the total number of items in the list. The page number on the right will indicate what page is displayed.

    • To go to the next page of items, click the right arrow.
    • To return to the previous page of items, click the left arrow.
    • To jump back to the first page, click the left arrow on the far left.
