3. Introduction – Lesson Objective
At the end of this tutorial, you will have a basic understanding of the functionality of the DRRS-N Assessment Module.
Note:
The DRRS-N graphics used in this presentation contain notional data. They represent CVN and squadron assessments and are for illustration purposes only.
The actual DRRS-N application operates on the SIPRNET and carries a SECRET banner versus the UNCLASSIFIED banner depicted here.

4. Requesting Accounts
You can access the browser-based DRRS-N application from any SIPRNET connection.
DRRS-N Ashore URL:
To register for a account, select the “Request Access” option and complete the account request form
The DRRS-N Afloat URL can be obtained from your Operations Dept on your ship.
IRRI (Innovative Readiness Reporting Initiative) a program that allows units at sea to access DRRS-N when bandwidth is poor or SIPRNET access is inadequate
DRRS-N Ashore provides the option to login using your SIPRNET token.
To access DRRS-N Afloat through IRRI, users must have an IRRI user account with access to the DRRS-N Afloat module. DRRS-N Afloat accounts are managed by the OPS ADMIN officer on the CVN or the by the OPS officer on surface ships. DRRS-N Afloat accounts are managed by each individual ship.

5. Requesting Accounts
To request a DRRS-N Ashore account, complete the online DRRS-N Account Registration form. Be sure to comply with the username and password rules, and then submit the form when finished.
To request a DRRS-N Afloat account, contact your onboard Innovative Readiness Reporting Initiative (IRRI) Administrator. The administrator will provide you with an IRRI user account with access to the DRRS-N Afloat Assessment module.
Note: DRRS-N Account Registration Procedures can be found in the DRRS-N Policy Messages located in the Resources section of the CNAF Readiness Reference Tool.
Select: Resources->Reference Library->DRRS-N. Look under DRRS-N Policy Messages.

6. Account Permissions
Every DRRS-N account is assigned a unique username with specific roles or permissions associated with it. Account permissions control who has access to viewing, entering or editing information, and approving assessments.

7. Screen Overview 2 1
To access a unit’s assessment, use the icons below.
Single unit and group selection
MS Excel and MS Word export

8. Screen Overview
The Organization and Resources Status (OARS) data is displayed at the top and bottom. All users can now view any unit’s approved OARS data. The Organization and Resources Status (OARS) is divided into Upper OARS and Lower OARS areas.

9. Screen Overview Upper OARS Area
The Upper OARS area shows the selected unit’s activity category, activity code and deployed status. It also shows a Readiness Reporter’s assessment of the PESTO resources on the CORE capability row and overall assessment (OVL).

10. Screen Overview
The Lower OARS area contains information about the unit’s organization, location, and chem/biological defense readiness, as well as personnel strength.
Lower OARS Area

11. Screen Overview (Ashore)
Located in the upper-right corner of every application page is the DRRS-N Support Menu. It provides helpful resources that offer support in resolving problems, answering questions, and maintaining your user account profile.

12. Screen Overview
New in DRRS-N are links to other DRRS-N applications to include the Navy Readiness Reporting Enterprise Business Intelligence Tool (NRRE-BI).

13. Screen Overview
The View field allows you to change the mode of operation, or View, of the NMETL assessment web page. You can set the view by clicking either InStaffing or Approved. Only visible to authorized Readiness Reporters assessing their primary or secondary unit of assignment.
The InStaffing mode allows you to view and edit assessments that are in draft. Draft assessments may be saved and completed at a later time. Once completed, the Commander approves the assessment for submission.
The Approved mode allows you to view only those assessments that have been approved. Draft assessments cannot be seen in this view and changes to an assessment cannot be made. (Approved is the default view.)

14. Screen Overview 2 1 There are two primary assessments in DRRS-N
The objective assessment (produced from authoritative data sources)
The Subjective of Commander’s assessment

15. Screen Overview
The Capability/METL table displays Capabilities, METs, assessment ratings, computed scores, and PESTO (per, eqp, sup, tng, ord) pillar scores.
Note: Dates (to the left of the CDR Assessment column) displayed in red indicate assessments that are more than 30 days overdue.

16. Screen Overview
Computed Scores are rounded averages of PESTO pillar scores for either a Capability or a MET.

17. Screen Overview
The CDR column contains the Commander’s Y, Q, or N assessment rating of each capability, MET, along with the C-Ratings.
To see additional information about an assessment, click a Y, Q, or N box, and DRRS-N opens an Assessment Details Dialog for the selected item.

18. Viewing PESTO Data
To view PESTO pillar scores at the MET level, expand each Capability by clicking its corresponding plus sign [+]. The top plus sign will expand or contract all the capability areas at once.
Note: PESTO data is designed to assist the Commander in assessing the unit’s readiness.

19. Viewing PESTO Data
Drilldown for additional PESTO resource information by clicking each PESTO score for a given MET.
Note: The next slide will display the result of clicking on the Training resource (T) for the MET “Conduct Flight Operations”.

20. Viewing PESTO Data
PESTO drilldown data includes a color and a Figure of Merit (FOM). The FOM provides an index of where a given resource sits within the color band.

21. Viewing PESTO Data PESTO Pillar Color Conventions
Green - the resource is able to support the capability or NMET (80-100).
Yellow - the resource is able to support the capability or NMET, but with qualifications (60-79).
Red - the resource is not able to support the capability or NMET (59 and below).
Gray - the data needed to determine the readiness level of the resource is not available.
White - no readiness level data is expected for the resource.
# Incomplete data prevents the calculation of a PESTO score

22. Viewing MET Data
To read information about a MET prior to assessing it, click on the underlined number of the MET that is shown in the MET column.
Note: The next slide will display the result of clicking on a given NTA

23. Viewing MET Data

24. Making Assessments Pre-Assessment Considerations -
Before making an assessment, you should be familiar with the following pre-assessment actions (where applicable):
Selecting a Unit of Assignment
Setting the View
Viewing and printing MET assessments

25. Making Assessments
To make a Capability or MET Assessment, first change the View setting from Approved to InStaffing. InStaffing shows the most recent assessments of all displayed capabilities and METs.
Note that the Submit and Edit buttons are now visible.

26. Making Assessments
Expand the Capability Areas by clicking the plus sign [+] to the left of each Capability.

27. Making Assessments
Display the Assessment Details dialog window for a MET or Capability by clicking the appropriate CDR Assessment cell.

28. Making Assessments
Assess the MET or Capability Area as “Yes, Qualified Yes, or No” by clicking one of the buttons under “Select Current Rating”.
Project the next assessment as well (with the Next Rating buttons).
The staffing Comments allow you to make notes that are only visible to those with permissions to view your draft assessment.

29. Making Assessments
Comments shall be made in the Capability Area Assessment blocks when…
Assessed as a “No” or “Qualified Yes”
Comments in the Capability Area should focus on a unit’s ability/deficiency in performing the NMETs under the Capability Area. Emphasize resourcing barriers and provide mitigation actions and/or timelines.
Note: Refer to the CNAP/CNAL 3500 Supplemental DRRS-N Guidance for more information on required comments.

30. Making Assessments
Enter an estimated change date (indicates when you expect the rating to change) in the “Est Change Date” field.
Note: DRRS-N tracks the estimated change dates for all METs and Capability areas. When these dates are past due, DRRS-N will shade the impacted MET red. Units can either update the estimated change date or submit the entire assessment (in which case DRRS-N will automatically push your change date out 30 days).

31. Making Assessments Enter comments, if required.
When you have finished your assessment, click the Save button.

32. Making Assessments To edit the OARS area, you must first:
Select the InStaffing view
Click on the Edit button or any cell in the C-Ratings section

33. Making Assessments
Refer to CNAP/CNAL 3500 (Supplemental DRRS-N Guidance, section 5 (squadrons) and section 6 (CVN)) for guidance on reporting OARS data. Use the scroll bar on the right of the OARS page to view more details.

34. Making Assessments
