Cathy, why don\u2019t you start to discuss some of the important changes coming in FY15. L: O.K. As you can see from the list of topics on the screen, we have a lot to cover in the next 1 \u00bd hours. Post should already be somewhat familiar with these issues since they were listed in recent cables and included in the FY15 Data Call checklist that were posted on our SharePoint site. Participants in this Webinar also were asked to review these document ahead of time. Because of the new ICASS 4.0 software being rolled out, and policy changes in the last year, post will definitely need to spend time ensuring that they understand the changes and are prepared for the new software. We are going to mention 3.0 and 4.0 quite often during this briefing. The 3.0 is the current software and the 4.0 is the new software to be used for FY15. I am sure many of you are wondering about all these crazy things that we are asking you to do in the 3.0 such as creating sub-cost centers and entering workload in an unusual place. There are two main reasons for this. First because the workload counts for various sub-cost centers have to be in the software in order to generate the workload count reports. These FY15 workload reports are then distributed to the agencies for approval in the June/July time period. The second reason is to have relevant data in the software so it can either be populated by the software developers, or it will be in a location in the software so post can easily copy over the data in the 4.0. There is a good reason for everything that we are asking you to do.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
