CIMS User Guide Revision 4 June 2010 - Posted on NPC web page (http://www.npc.navy.mil/CareerInfo/CMC_CCC/CIMS/)

Career Development - Modified the Career Development page to allow CCs to update CDTC & FTSW

dates for active duty personnel and CDTC & RASW dates for reserve personnel. - Resolved an issue that prevented Career Counselors from being able to update the

“Other Required” and “TRF/SEP Required” on the Career Development page once the Sailor had transferred. This issue was also preventing the CCC from being able to verify the CDB.

Career Counselor Manage/Assign - Combined functionality of the

Mass Department and Mass Division Career Counselor management into a single new component and refined the search and display options. Allows CCCs to replace and add Department and Division Career Counselors to a Sailor. Also allows CCCs to update a Sailors’ Department or Division assignment.


CIMS Listings - Updated all of the CIMS listing pages to ensure that a “Find” and

“Customize” link appeared on all of them.

- Updated all of the CIMS Listing pages to ensure that users were able to select multiple UICs.

Personnel Information Listings - Language List: Updated the language list to include the new DoD 3 character language

abbreviations

- CDTC List: Modified the CDTC listing to compare and display the most current completion

date from either the Career Development or Course Data component.

Modified the CDTC listing so that all enlisted personnel assigned to the UIC(s) selected are displayed, instead of just those that have completed a CDTC course.


Personnel Information Listings con’t - FTSW List: Modified the FTSW listing to compare and display the most current completion date from either the Career Development or Course Data component.

Modified the FTSW listing so that all personnel in paygrades E4 and below assigned to the UIC(s) selected are displayed.

- RASW List (new): Replaced the Reserve FTSW listing with the RASW listing. The list displays all

reserve E6 and below personnel assigned to the UIC(s) selected, along with the RASW completion date entered on the Career Development page.


Losses Lists - Added a Perform To Serve (PTS) Status column to the All Losses Listing which

displays the status of the most current active duty PTS package.

the Ultimate (ULT) UIC a Sailor is ordered to.

Added a link on the PRD Listing which allows users to open or create a Career Decision for each record.

that displays the Sailor’s Career Zone.

Unit Tracking's - PTS List Added an option on the PTS List which allows users to filter the results by

entering a PRD date parameter.

Modified the PTS Status on the PTS Listing to display the total number of times a PTS package was "Rolled Over".

Modified PTS list functionality so that only PTS package information is displayed for personnel where individual's Zone is the same as the PTS package Zone.

Resolved a PTS data issue that was causing the PTS Status to display incorrectly on the PTS Listing.

Resolved an issue on the PTS List which prevented users from navigating directly to the NSIPS Administrative Remarks component so that a PG 13 could be created.


Unit Tracking's - CDB Notification List Resolved an issue that caused the CDB Notification listing to “time out”. When

the links on the CDB Notification listing were used to create multiple CDBs, the CDB notification list would time out when it was reprocessed.

Counselors were not being properly displayed once they were assigned to Sailors.

directly to the CIMS Career Decision component.

enlisted service were being omitted from the list.


CIMS Certificates - Corrected the way rating descriptions were being printed on the CIMS

Reenlistment certificate. Corrected an issue where long rating descriptions were being “cutoff” when the certificate was printed.

SRB Calculator - Updated both Active Duty and SELRES SRB multipliers and values.

Correspondence Tracking - Complete redesign of the page to allow CCs to view several entries at once by

displaying multiple rows on each page. - Added a Correspondence Type value of “Other”, which allows the CCs to select

a Correspondence Package type not listed, then manually enter an “Other” type description of up to 25 characters in length.
