Checking, Communicating, and Entering Assessment Data in FRED:

The majority of communication taking place between the ES and the Assessment Dept is through the use of FRED.  Be sure you are on the correct tab layout when checking or entering data.

The comments box will be checked daily for concerns. The ES will know when the concern has been addressed by looking in the section titled Admin Use Only. When the concern has been resolved, the small box will be marked.

If time is short and the box has not been marked, email Leita at lbarlow@connectingwaters.org to find out what is going on.
