| Can be provided in any environment that has an Internet connection. Our captionists will listen to your live event or class remotely and provide access for your client(s) or student(s) by real-time text interpreting of the spoken information.<br/><br />
Text Interpreting is a meaning-based or summarized account of the spoken message. It includes significant information delivered by the speaker, without all of the extraneous nuances of spoken language, which may sometimes be difficult to understand by those with hearing loss or language-based disabilities. Notes of the session are sent to the student/recipient as an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format RTF] document within 24 hours of the event.<br />

| '''Asynchronous Text Interpreting (Online learning)'''<br />
| Created at AMAC as a solution to accommodate students in online learning courses. A benefit of asynchronous online learning (not at the same time as the teacher presents) is the flexibility of viewing anytime the student chooses – students who need access to the audio components of online courses should have this same benefit. The audio components of any course can be text interpreted and the transcript viewed anytime the student chooses, asynchronously.<br />

| Can be provided in any environment that has an Internet connection. Our captionists will listen to your live event or class remotely and provide access for your client(s) or student(s) by real-time text interpreting of the spoken information.<br/><br />
Text Interpreting is a meaning-based or summarized account of the spoken message. It includes significant information delivered by the speaker, without all of the extraneous nuances of spoken language, which may sometimes be difficult to understand by those with hearing loss or language-based disabilities. Notes of the session are sent to the student/recipient as an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format RTF] document within 24 hours of the event.<br />

| Created at AMAC as a solution to accommodate students in online learning courses. A benefit of asynchronous online learning (not at the same time as the teacher presents) is the flexibility of viewing anytime the student chooses – students who need access to the audio components of online courses should have this same benefit. The audio components of any course can be text interpreted and the transcript viewed anytime the student chooses, asynchronously.<br />

[[Image:SAM.png|80px|SAM Logo]]&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="+1">'''Student Accommodation Manager'''</font><br />
<br />
The Student Accommodation Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

==Training==<br />
*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />

* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer will complete the guide provided by the SAM team. [[Media:SAM Implementation LIVE.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide]]. This implementation guide helps our customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Doug Neal at [mailto:doug.neal@amac.gatech.edu doug.neal@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

<br />
The Student Accommodation Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

[[Image:SAM.png|80px|SAM Logo]]&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="+1">'''Student Accommodation Manager'''</font><br />
<br />
The Student Accommodation Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

==Training==<br />
*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />
{| width="100%"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Disabilities|Disabilities]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Accommodations|Accommodations]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Consent Types|Consent Types]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Referrals|Referrals]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Case Notes|Case Notes]]<br />

* [[SAM V1:Tasks|Tasks]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tests|Tests]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer will complete the guide provided by the SAM team. [[Media:SAM Implementation LIVE.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide]]. This implementation guide helps our customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Doug Neal at [mailto:doug.neal@amac.gatech.edu doug.neal@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

==The AMAC Vision==<br />
<br />
At AMAC, we have a clear vision of the universally designed world of tomorrow, where individuals with disabilities have equal access to education, work and life. That vision helps us clearly see the accessibility barriers that exist today, and provide the practical solutions to overcome them. <br><br />
<br />
Let us know what you think of our new look by following us on [http://www.facebook.com/pages/AMAC/123966442577?ref=ts Facebook] or [http://twitter.com/AMAC_Tweet Twitter] and leaving your comments. <br><br />
<br />
==Bucks County Community College==<br />
<br />
One of AMAC’s newest Deluxe members, [http://www.bucks.edu Bucks County Community College], is a two-year public institution that offers 85 programs of study for an associate's degree or certificate. Bucks County Community College’s Assistive Technology Specialist Penny Gray had this to say about AMAC services: "Great turnaround time, customer service, and the cost is worth every moment we spend searching and searching, scanning and scanning, editing and editing, etc. etc. :-)."<br />
<br />
The AMAC Deluxe Membership is designed for post-secondary institutions averaging less than 10,000 in student enrollment. Many two-year and community colleges choose the Deluxe Membership for their disability service offices. AMAC offers technical support services along with access to ordering accessible textbooks, delivery, tracking and reporting, assistive technology software, and a student download center. The membership has an annual fee of $1,500; with monthly billing at standard production rates. The Deluxe Membership also includes discount prices on other AMAC products such as 10% off braille and captioning services. For more information, click [[Deluxe_Membership|here]].<br />
<br />
==Employee Spotlight==<br />
<br />
AMAC is proud of its diligent and knowledgeable team of experts who bring you high-quality accessibility products and services. We would like to specially recognize two staff members who have exceeded above and beyond our customers’ expectations during the FALL semester.<br />

==The AMAC Vision==<br />
<br />

==Bucks County Community College==<br />
<br />
One of AMAC’s newest Deluxe members, [http://www.bucks.edu Bucks County Community College], is a two-year public institution that offers 85 programs of study for an associate's degree or certificate. Bucks County Community College’s Assistive Technology Specialist Penny Gray had this to say about AMAC services: "Great turnaround time, customer service, and the cost is worth every moment we spend searching and searching, scanning and scanning, editing and editing, etc. etc. :-)."<br />
<br />
The AMAC Deluxe Membership is designed for post-secondary institutions averaging less than 10,000 in student enrollment. Many two-year and community colleges choose the Deluxe Membership for their disability service offices. AMAC offers technical support services along with access to ordering accessible textbooks, delivery, tracking and reporting, assistive technology software, and a student download center. The membership has an annual fee of $1,500; with monthly billing at standard production rates.

<br />
The Student Accommodation Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

==Training==<br />
*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />

* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer will complete the guide provided by the SAM team. [[Media:SAM Implementation LIVE.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide]]. This implementation guide helps our customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Doug Neal at [mailto:doug.neal@amac.gatech.edu doug.neal@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

<br />
The Student Accommodation Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

[[Image:SAM.png|80px|SAM Logo]]&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="+1">'''Student Accommodation Manager'''</font><br />
<br />
The Student Accommodation Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

==Training==<br />
*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />
{| width="100%"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Disabilities|Disabilities]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Accommodations|Accommodations]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Consent Types|Consent Types]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Referrals|Referrals]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Case Notes|Case Notes]]<br />

* [[SAM V1:Tasks|Tasks]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tests|Tests]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

<br />
The Student Accommodation Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

[[Image:SAM.png|80px|SAM Logo]]&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="+1">'''Student Accommodation Manager'''</font><br />
<br />
The Student Accommodation Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

==Training==<br />
*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />
{| width="100%"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Disabilities|Disabilities]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Accommodations|Accommodations]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Consent Types|Consent Types]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Referrals|Referrals]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Case Notes|Case Notes]]<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tasks|Tasks]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tests|Tests]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

'''Intergovernmental Agreements'''<br />
<br />
As a state institution you may have wondered if you must seek bids for services such as captioning or getting your college's media captioned, simply put the answer is no; you do not, if you select AMAC for these services.<br />
<br />
In order to clarify, AMAC sought guidance from the Office of Legal Affairs at the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. According to the Office of Legal Affairs, entities within state government may contract together without having to request bids for services.<br />
<br />
As you are aware, AMAC is an initiative of the University System of Georgia, so AMAC is a state entity. Institutions within the USG or TCSG are also state entities. This means AMAC and your institution may do business together without the requirement of requesting bids.<br />
<br />
The Georgia Constitution authorizes state entities to enter into an intergovernmental agreement if the items to be acquired are available from that source.<br />
<br />
An intergovernmental agreement is a contract between two or more government entities. Permissible government entities include state and local (county, city, etc.) government entities within the state of Georgia as well as other states of the United States of America.<br />
<br />
Intergovernmental agreements do not require approval from SPD or competitive bidding and are not subject to dollar limits. Of course, as good stewards of your state dollars, you should not just use AMAC simply because it is a state agency. You should use a process to determine that in fact AMAC's prices and services are the most cost effective to meet your entity's needs.</div>Kdah3Xhttps://www.amacusg.gatech.edu/wiki/index.php?title=SAM_V1&diff=8047SAM V12012-04-17T20:47:23Z<p>Kdah3X: /* Standard Pricing */</p>

<br />
The Student Accommodations Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

==Training==<br />
*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />
{| width="100%"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Disabilities|Disabilities]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Accommodations|Accommodations]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Consent Types|Consent Types]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Referrals|Referrals]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Case Notes|Case Notes]]<br />

* [[SAM V1:Tasks|Tasks]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tests|Tests]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

==Training==<br />
*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />
{| width="100%"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Disabilities|Disabilities]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Accommodations|Accommodations]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Consent Types|Consent Types]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Referrals|Referrals]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Case Notes|Case Notes]]<br />

* [[SAM V1:Tests|Tests]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

[[Image:SAM.png|80px|SAM Logo]]&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="+1">'''Student Accommodation Manager'''</font><br />
<br />
The Student Accommodations Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

<br />
The Student Accommodations Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you.

<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />

* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />

<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

[[Image:SAM.png|80px|SAM Logo]]&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="+1">'''Student Accommodation Manager'''</font><br />
<br />
The Student Accommodations Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />

* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />

* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />

<br />
The Student Accommodations Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />
{| width="100%"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Disabilities|Disabilities]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Accommodations|Accommodations]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Consent Types|Consent Types]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Referrals|Referrals]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Case Notes|Case Notes]]<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tasks|Tasks]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tests|Tests]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

<br />
The Student Accommodations Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

==Training==<br />
*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />
{| width="100%"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Disabilities|Disabilities]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Accommodations|Accommodations]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Consent Types|Consent Types]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Referrals|Referrals]]<br />

* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.pdf|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

[[Image:SAM.png|80px|SAM Logo]]&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="+1">'''Student Accommodation Manager'''</font><br />
<br />
The Student Accommodations Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />
{| width="100%"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Disabilities|Disabilities]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Accommodations|Accommodations]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Consent Types|Consent Types]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Referrals|Referrals]]<br />

* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />

<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.docx|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />

[[Image:SAM.png|80px|SAM Logo]]&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="+1">'''Student Accommodation Manager'''</font><br />
<br />
The Student Accommodations Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

==Training==<br />
*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />
{| width="100%"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Disabilities|Disabilities]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Accommodations|Accommodations]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Consent Types|Consent Types]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Referrals|Referrals]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Case Notes|Case Notes]]<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tasks|Tasks]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tests|Tests]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.docx|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris at[mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />

[[Image:SAM.png|80px|SAM Logo]]&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="+1">'''Student Accommodation Manager'''</font><br />
<br />
The Student Accommodations Manager is a secure, web-based database application designed to help postsecondary Disability Service Providers manage student data, disabilities, accommodations, case notes, and much more. SAM is developed and hosted using Intuit's [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] and follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_service|software-as-a-service]] model where there is no software to install or server to manage or own. Essential functions such as system availability and backups are provided for you. Predefined reports as well as a powerful report writer allow you to quickly and easily find, filter, and transform data. SAM can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters. For institutions lacking strong IT support, SAM offers a viable multi-user, web-based solution.<br />

==Training==<br />
*[http://www.amacusg.org/presentations/SAM/index.html SAM Training Presentation]<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
<br />
SAM is a relational database application. An understanding of the following terms and concepts is essential to understanding the SAM design:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Application_software|What is an application?]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Database|What is a database?]]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_table.html What is a QuickBase table and record?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_field.html What is a QuickBase field?]<br />
* [http://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html What is a QuickBase report?]<br />
<br />
==Tables==<br />
<br />
SAM organizes data into different [[SAM V1:Tables |tables]] that allow you to instantly access, sort, and find information for an individual student or related data sets.<br />
<br />
At the core is the [[SAM V1:Students|Student]] table, however, SAM allows users to manage data for and report on:<br />
<br />
{| width="100%"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Disabilities|Disabilities]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Accommodations|Accommodations]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Consent Types|Consent Types]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Referrals|Referrals]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Case Notes|Case Notes]]<br />
|<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tasks|Tasks]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Tests|Tests]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Orders|Alternate Media Orders]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Class Schedules|Class Schedules]]<br />
* [[SAM V1:Documentation|Documentation]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Access==<br />
<br />
Access to SAM requires a login and password. Each user is provided with their own login and password. A user’s login is their email address. Passwords are case sensitive.<br />
<br />
[https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=signin Login to SAM]<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
Users of SAM benefit from the following [http://quickbase.intuit.com/overview/security/ security] measures provided for all [http://www.quickbase.com QuickBase] applications:<br />
<br />
* An industry-standard, 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol is employed to ensure information is neither intercepted nor corrupted during transmission over the Internet.<br />
* Encryption technology is used to help protect data stored on disk.<br />
* A state-of-the-art data center provides intrusion detection software and hardware, advanced firewall software, daily back-ups to prevent data loss, video surveillance, and uninterruptible power supplies.<br />
<br />
==Permissions==<br />
<br />
SAM users can access the same data simultaneously. However, using [[SAM V1:Permissions|roles and permissions]], you can determine what data users can see and what actions users can perform.<br />
<br />
==Reporting==<br />
<br />
With SAM, you can quickly and easily find and view your data the way you want. Reporting is simple, with:<br />
<br />
* A host of pre-defined reports to help you get started quickly.<br />
* An easy to use [https://www.quickbase.com/help/default.html#what_is_a_view.html report writer] that allows you to create tabular reports, summary reports, and even graphs and charts.<br />
* A powerful '''Find''' feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.<br />
<br />
==Implementation==<br />
<br />
Prior to creating the SAM application for the customer, the customer should complete the [[Media:SamImplementationPlan.docx|SAM Implementation Guide with instructions]]. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:<br />
<br />
* How many users will have access<br />
* The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)<br />
* If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles<br />
* What role to assign to each user<br />
* The multiple-choice field values<br />
* The list of available accommodations<br />
<br />
Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Kim Harris [mailto:kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu kim.harris@amac.gatech.edu]. <br />
<br />
When the SAM customer application is created, [http://www.amacusg.org/ AMAC] will use the information provided in the implementation guide to provision users, create any new roles and permissions, and customize the values for multiple-choice fields.<br />
