 After logging into the ERA 2.0 system, your homepage displays. Notice the following sections. The toolbar, the search functions, the create new form button, and the dashboard. You will use your dashboard to manage and track the status of forms created and submitted in the ERA 2.0 system. Let's explore each section further. The toolbar provides access to functions that may have applicability beyond a single form. In addition to your dashboard, these functions include Upload for uploading digital records for approved transfers Notifications for identifying required actions or actions already taken on your forms View background task progress for monitoring progress on batch operations including bulk actions that are running in the background View available downloads for accessing items that are available for download as the results of a download all command execution or search query Additional links for connecting to the following external pages on archives.gov Contact us, accessibility, FOIA, archives.gov, privacy policy, about us And finally, user profile for managing your account password and for signing out of the ERA 2.0 system Note, depending on your user role and access privileges within ERA 2.0, you may have access to some or all of these listed functions. Three search menu options display below the toolbar. Let's begin with Advanced Search The Advanced Search function allows you to create complex queries for both record schedule forms and transfer request forms To see all the available options on either page, select View More Next, let's review the default search menus As with the Advanced Search, there are default searches for record schedules and transfer requests The record schedule default search is populated with the all field search parameter pre-selected However, you may organize your search using any of the following search fields Schedule ID, Agency or Establishment, Schedule Subject, Schedule Information or Item Title The transfer request default search also provides an all field search parameter The remaining search fields are transfer request number, creating office, accession title, tracking number, privacy act citation Access restriction note and agency name and address Finally, you have the option of conducting a keyword search by entering relevant search terms in the provided text entry field and then selecting the magnifying glass icon to display your search results Selecting the dashboard function on the toolbar will bring you back to your home page The Create New Form button displays prominently on the right side of the home page This function is where you will create record schedule and transfer request forms Your dashboard occupies the remainder of your home page You can think of your dashboard as a virtual file cabinet that holds all the record schedule and transfer request forms that are assigned to you and presents them in the visual display in two separate tabs The Record Schedule tab displays by default This tab is further segmented into the MyTask table that lists record schedules that are awaiting your action and the Task Updates table that lists all record schedules that are awaiting action by other system users The Transfer Request tab displays the MyTask table listing transfer requests that are awaiting your action You may display up to a maximum of 250 items in each of the available tables To learn more about any of the functions reviewed in this demo, view the available resources on the ERA 2.0 training site
