4. Remember this …
Real property appeals from is finally resolved requiring data entry changes to
Real Property General Information
Residential Improvements
Accessory Improvements
PP Audits are underway that impact 2015, 2016, and accounts simultaneously
Open 2015 screens and make edits
Open 2016 and repeat
Open 2017 and repeat
Same basic issues exists in PP audits
What if either example requires a NEW item be added?
How do you keep the primary key the same for each digest year?
Hello Online Support … ???

5. Now a better way exists …
Real property appeals from is finally resolved requiring data entry changes to
Real Property General Information
Residential Improvements
Accessory Improvements
PP Audits are underway that impact 2015, 2016, and accounts simultaneously
Push Tech allows you to setup 2015 to push data entry changes smoothly into both 2016 and to remove nearly all duplicate data entry

6. Push-Tech
Basic idea is to allow data to push seamlessly to other databases to avoid dual/repetitive data entry when task impacts more than one year.
Two independent modules
APPEALS
GLOBAL
Configurable to push into up to five (5) different data locations
Customizable exclusions available.
Push-Tech only pushes forward to newer digest years

7. With great power comes great responsibility
Push-Tech
With great power comes great responsibility
Field level edits completely replace receiving field contents without prompt or alert to the data entry user.
Requires very good understanding and knowledge of full reach and impact of push technology to avoid unintended results.

8. When record level data doesn’t exist in configured years, user is prompted to add it
Push-Tech
AY2014
AY2017
AY2016
AY2015
AY2019
Field Level Edits are automatically pushed into configured data years
User has screen control to avoid push if needed

13. Five individual DB’s can be setup to receive the edits
Instructions always here visible as a reminder/refresher of what Push-Tech actually is trying to do.
Five individual DB’s can be setup to receive the edits

14. Screen’s reminder text:
Push-Tech
Screen’s reminder text:
Push Technology allows you to define one or more databases for which appeal edits from the current database (digest year) will be sync’d and pushed to the database(s) defined in this list

15. Push-Tech
When the appeal already exists in the other DB(s) listed here, only the fields changed will be pushed.
When the appeal does not exist in the other DB(s) listed here, the entire item will be pushed into the listed DB(s)

16. What-if we allowed pushing backward?
Appeal X-15 filed in 2015
Appeal R-13 filed in 2013
AY2016 configured to push appeal edits to 2015, 2014, 2013
What happens to appeal X-15 edits?
Any/All edits pushed to 2013, 2014, 2015 – uh-oh
The appeal didn’t even exist in 2015, why push backward
What happens to appeal R-13 edits?
Any/All edits pushed to 2013, 2014, 2015 – Yay
Solution: To only push appeals FORWARD.
Don’t push edits backward from AY2016 to anyplace, configure AY2013 to push forward to 2014, 2015, & 2016

17. Push-Tech Configuration Rules
You cannot push backward
Example: you cannot push from AY2017 into an older digest year like AY2016
You can only push forward – screen validation will prevent any configuration of attempting to push into an older digest year.

18. Push-Tech: More Rules Deletes do not push Schedules do not push
Duplications do not push
Transfer Items do not push
Ownership transfer will push if the transfer is performed from the RPGI or PPGI screens.
Assessment Notice REASONS assigned in edit year (older year) are not pushed into newer years.
Screen Edits DO PUSH
The push technology detection is performed by the data entry screen.

19. Push-Tech Screen detects which data entry fields are changed
Push action is invoked with record is saved (Apply / OK)
WHEN PUSH-TECH BOX IS CHECKED
WHEN ITEM EXISTS …
Only field(s) edited by user are pushed automatically and quietly (no screen prompt) to the push years
WHEN ITEM DOES NOT EXIST …
User is prompted to push entire item into push years with a Yes/No option.
User can by-pass all push on the item level by unchecking the PUSH- TECH box prior to saving.

20. Push-Tech
Only the GRADE edit from 0 to 120 will be pushed into the receiving years – there will not be any prompts at all if the item exists in the receiving year

21. Push-Tech
What if I add a new item in a digest year configured to push into a newer year
2017 year is setup to push into 2018, so let’s add a new item and see what happens.

22. Push-Tech
Parcel without any accy items

23. Push-Tech
Click New to start data entry

24. Push-Tech
Barn added and waiting to click apply / ok

25. Push-Tech
Yes = PUSH IT
No = DON’T PUSH IT
I am going to answer YES

26. Push-Tech
Now go look in 2018 and see if the barn is there.

27. Push-Tech
Now to further illustrate the way push-tech works, I’ll edit the same accy item and it will only push the field edits.
First an edit in 2018 to change the IDUNITS from 1 to 4
Now, back to 2017 and we’ll add comments to 2017

30. Push-Tech
Sketch will only push when the sketch is actually edited – but ENTIRE sketch is pushed, not only the single polygon changed (2nd changed to GRF)

31. Push-Tech: Global v. Appeals
Independent push features.
County may use either, both or neither.
Push-tech does not disable the existing automatic SYNC of new items between live and future.
Push-Tech originally intended to push edits beyond the existing LIVE:FUTURE relationships we’ve long had.

41. Push-Tech
Push-Tech can be very powerful – but also very confusing and taxing
Sometimes it’ll just be easier to do your data entry the old fashioned way.
