SAM V1 can also serve as a forms repository and auto-generate accommodation notification letters.


Features

SAM V1 was developed using QuickBase and includes all of the QuickBase features and security, including:

  • Totally web-based
  • 24-hour, 365-day availability
  • No special software or installations required
  • Accessible
  • Custom, printable reporting
  • Email integration
  • Searchable on-line help
  • Advanced access control via logins, users and roles
  • Data encryption
  • Daily backups
  • Redundant data storage


Instant Access to the Information You Need

  • SAM V1 is comprised of a number of different tables that allow you to organize, sort, and find student information from individual files to large data sets.
  • When asked, you will have disability information, student accommodations, case note history, and contact information right at hand.


Report and Communicate All Your Information

  • Transform data by choosing from a host of pre-defined report templates.
  • Create your own reports using SQL.
  • SAM V1 offers a sophisticated Find feature that allows you to filter data by multiple fields.


Built-in Network Sharing and Permissions

  • Users can login to SAM V1 and access the same student file simultaneously.
  • SAM V1 offers levels of access permission so you can determine what your users can do and see.


Terminology

SAM V1 is a relational database application, and as such, an understanding of the following database terms and concepts is essential:


Layout, Navigation and How To

Since SAM V1 is developed using QuickBase, the application layout, navigation, and functions are controlled by QuickBase. To learn more about a particular topic, choose from the list below:


Implementation

The SAM V1 customer application is created by copying either the SAM con NEON or SAM sin NEON master application. SAM con NEON is used as the source when the customer will also be an AMAC member and have students in NEON. SAM sin NEON is used as the source when the customer will not have related students in NEON.

Prior to creating the SAM V1 application for the customer, the customer should complete the SAM V1 implementation guide. This Microsoft Word document helps the customer identify:

  • How many users will have access
  • The name and email address of all users (this information will be used to create the QuickBase logins for users)
  • If any new roles and permissions are required in addition to the service provider and administrator roles
  • What role to assign to each user
  • The multiple-choice field values
  • The list of available accommodations

Completed documents and questions can be emailed to Joe Davis davisj@uga.edu.

When the SAM V1 customer application is created, 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.
