New Agency Monthly Inventory Procedure
ECSI has made significant revisions to the method agency inventory is made
available. This change is in addition to our new Premium
Service.
Once a month, you will receive an email to notify you that your monthly
inventory has been updated.
The inventories are now packaged in a single archive. This speeds transfer
of the file to you and reduces the number of operations you must
perform on ECSI's site. The inventory for all of your schools is now
available in a single location.
The archive is in ZIP format and is compatible with many free or inexpensive
compressions products. Our recomendation is WinZip, from WinZip Computing.
You can retrieve an evaluation version for free from their web site:
http://www.winzip.com.
The email notices you receive have also changed.
The email will contain a link directly to your monthly archive file. Gone are multiple logins!! You
will need to provide your agency code and password only one time after you
click on the link in your inventory email. After you've been authenticated,
your inventory will immediately begin to download.
We belive that these changes will substantially reduce the time and effort
it takes to retrieve your inventory from ECSI. The new process is more
friendly, more efficient and less prone to error. As always, we are glad to
get your comments and suggestions to further tune the process. Please send
all comments to: Webmaster@ecsi.net.
