The Management Information Systems (MIS) Group has unveiled a new web page to help Lab staff process requests, review accounts, manage projects, and find information more quickly and efficiently.

The Jefferson Lab MIS Computing web page at http://mis.jlab.org/ marks the beginning of a 2—3 year process of putting a variety of administration and financial services and applications on the Lab’s web pages. Anyone wishing to access the page must have Netscape 4.5 or greater or Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater network browser software on their computers.

The new site is only accessible through the Lab’s computer network. It can’t be accessed from home or while on travel except via dial-in modem. To use the new page, you must have a valid Jefferson Lab computer account.

"It is a great one-stop shopping spot for MIS web-based applications," points out Mark Davis, MIS manager. "The site and the applications will be easy to access and easy to use – real time savers for staff members and users. We’ve got a great starting line up of services available now, and additional applications will be accessible from the page over the next several months."

All Lab staff and users are invited to attend an introductory session explaining what’s available on the new web page, how to access those services and applications, and how to use them correctly. The first session will be Wednesday, May 26 at 1:30 p.m. in the CEBAF Center auditorium.

The applications and features currently available include:

• Costpoint reports
• the Lab’s new training program (Ingenium)
• the Lab Library
• Purchase Requisitions Status
• Shipping & Receiving Logs, including up-to-date UPS and FedEx package tracking
• Government credit account logs
• an on-line staff directory that allows you to conduct personnel searches and even send staff and users e-mail and alpha-numeric pages directly from their entry
• access to your own personal information with direct update and update request capabilities
• property searches
• the Technical Stock Room and EWAY catalog for ordering items and materials
• access to MIS staff and the MIS committee
• access to the Computer Center’s services, products and policies

"Check it out and make yourself aware of what’s there. This page offers Lab staff lots of handy tools, and we’ll have more coming in the future," says Cindy Hall, MIS database analyst.
