PEX 5.13 AF Form 623 Folder Checklists 1 AF Form 623 Folder Checklists and Process Flow Charts Current As Of: 10/14/16 The checklists contained in Section I of this document focus on frequently used 623 documentation activities and provide step-by-step instructions for completing these activities. As a general rule, they are organized in the following manner: first, activities required to set up the AF Form 623 Folder structure and contents for a unit, then activities used to set up and manage individual trainees' folders, and finally activities used to oversee and manage the units' 623 documentation program. Each checklist begins with three key pieces of background information: Purpose of the checklist; those Permissions or Roles in the Users & Permissions module which will allow a user to execute the steps in the checklist; and the role which is typically the Primary User of the checklist. Throughout the checklists, the user will see grey shaded areas labeled, “TTPs.” TTPs are tips, techniques and procedures provided for the user to better understand the activities being executed, to learn a trick of the trade, or to emphasize Air Force or MAJCOM policy guidance specific to the activity. Section II provides overarching process flow charts, which are designed to help a user understand or remember how to execute routine AF Form 623 documentation processes using PEX. Those activities which are executed within PEX (as opposed to actions external to PEX) are indicated by unshaded rectangles and refer the user to the appropriate checklist to execute the specific activity (e.g., 623 3-1 refers to 623 Checklist 3-1). MAJCOM POCs, PEX ISR SME POCs and PEX ISR files (checklists, instructional videos, CT HQ files, SEM Eval Criteria files, Qual Training Courses, and CFETPs) are all located on the PEX website at: https://cs1.eis.af.mil/sites/pex/ISR/ISR%20Downloads/Forms/ISR%20Main.aspx Questions and concerns regarding MAJCOM or mission set policies and guidance can be directed to the appropriate MAJCOM POC(s) listed on the PEX website.

TTP: Using your Master Task List as a guide, you will need to create a Workcenter for each skill level. For example, if all your unit’s 1N0’s have to be trained on all the same tasks for their 5-level training and all your unit’s 1N0’s have to be trained on all the same tasks for their 7-level, you will create one task list for 1N0 STS 5-level training and one task list for 1N0 STS 7-level training. If different office’s or flights within your unit have different items required for skill level training item in the STS, then you will create a workcenter for each flight and skill level. If you have a task list that applies to your entire squadron, regardless of skill level, then only one workcenter needs to be created (i.e.: newcomer orientation). TTP: If you are importing a local/797 that is applicable to ALL personnel, simply select the default workcenter by following step 2a-b.

3. Setup dropdown/ Workcenter Configuration

1. Building Workcenter/Skill Level: a. In the WorkCenter Configuration Link, select Squadron from

dropdown menu b. Select the Task List you are creating workcenter(s) for

c. Click Copy As to copy the STS default d. Name your Workcenter name and skill level you are creating

(ie, 123 OSS/IN 5-level) e. Click Save f. At the top of the task list, select the newly named

Workcenter from dropdown g. Mark N/A for all items that are not applicable for the selected

Workcenter and skill level h. To mark an entire section N/A, select the header as N/A and

all subsequent items under that header will be marked as

N/A

TTP: The N/A checks will automatically save and “record saved” will show on bottom left when you click on next box. You may leave this screen and return at any time to complete your work.

2. Activate workcenter configurations: a. Select appropriate workcenter to activate from the

Workcenter dropdown b. Click the green activate button to activate the

workcenter.

3. Repeat steps 1c through 1g for multiple Workcenters/ skill levels TTP: You can Copy As (step 1c) after completing steps 1c-1g to create a new Workcenter. This will keep all the same tasks marked as N/A.

2.6 Send Workcenter to Another Squadron

PURPOSE: This checklist enables multi-squadron units to create workcenters for one tasklist and then send that same tasklist workcenter to other squadrons in the database that the training manager has access to.

TTP: Using your Master Task List as a guide, you will need to create a Workcenter for each 797. If some tasks on the 797 are required for 5-skill level and some tasks are required for 7-skill level, you will need to create a workcenter for each skill level. If different offices or flights within your unit have different items required for skill level training in the STS, then you will create a workcenter for each flight and skill level. If you have a task list that applies to your entire squadron, regardless of skill level, then only one workcenter needs to be created (i.e.: newcomer orientation).

Workcenter and skill level

h. Select Activate in order to assign trainees i. Repeat steps c through h for multiple Workcenters/skill levels

3.2 Create a New Version of a Local 797

PURPOSE: This checklist is used when a unit has updates to their local training requirement that are documented in a local 797. In order for the previous documentation to transcribe from an older version of a 797 to a new version, you must use the “create a new version” button.

TTP: An auto 623a entry will be placed in trainee(s) 623 tab indicating enrollment in the task list. It will need to be signed by the trainee and supervisor.

4.2 Apply Different Work Center Configurations

PURPOSE: This checklist is used when a unit gains a new individual and the PEX personnel file has already been imported into the database. This checklist provides steps for applying a new master task list (MTL) to the new individual and also follows AFI 36-2201, para. 6.9.6.1.5. This checklist also works when moving an individual from one workcenter in the squadron to another workcenter that has a different set of STS training requirements. TTPs: AFI 36-2201, para. 6.9.6.1.5. Each time an Airman changes duty positions (transfers from another base or work center), the supervisor must perform an initial evaluation that includes a review of all previously certified tasks. These tasks are compared against the master task list and will determine the extent of training required for the new duty position. The supervisor will identify all new tasks applicable to the new duty position and erase all circles that do not apply to the current duty position. Do not erase the initials and certification dates of previously certified tasks. If the Airman was previously qualified on the task, the supervisor determines if he/she is still qualified. If the Airman is found to be qualified, no further action is required. If the Airman is found to be unqualified on a previously certified task, the supervisor must ensure the task is trained on and recertified.

1. Assign to squadrons: a. Select Squadron(s) check box to assign the STS b. Click Save

Using your Master Task List as a guide, you will need to create a Workcenter for each skill level. For example, if all your unit’s 1N0’s have to be trained on all the same tasks for their 5-level training and all your unit’s 1N0’s have to be trained on all the same tasks for their 7-level, you will create one task list for 1N0 STS 5-level training and one task list for 1N0 STS 7-level training. If different offices or flights within your unit have different items required for skill level training in the STS, then you will create a workcenter for each flight and skill level. If you have a task list that applies to your entire squadron, regardless of skill level, then only one workcenter needs to be created (i.e.: newcomer orientation).
