Ideally your organizational data would be shepherded by one individual. It’s recommended that you use the download function to share sections of the study with colleagues who need to provide input, then have one individual enter all data. That said, we recognize that many organizations have chosen to share the one login internally so that others can enter data or run reports.

No, you can log in and out as many times as necessary, revise your answers and navigate throughout the categories of questions until you have answered the questions to your satisfaction.

No, some questions can be left unanswered, as not every question applies to every organization. The platform provides a percentage completion statement at the bottom of the home page. It is okay if your organization doesn’t achieve 100 percent completion, but it is highly encouraged. Remember – the greater participation is across all organizations, the more valuable this tool this is for all.

No final submit action is needed. Saving answers at the bottom of every page submits your data.

YES. Your data is both secure and anonymous to other users.

User data anonymity: All comparison data is presented in percentiles and restrictions are in place that require a minimum of five data points to display results.

Transport Security: The platform uses Microsoft’s SChannel (Secure Channel) implementation of SSL to encrypt all communication between our web servers and your browser. The software does not use OpenSSL.

Stored data security: Each client’s data is stored in separate SQL Server Enterprise databases, which are encrypted using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE).

Within the study platform, participants have access to a support page which links to a complete user’s guide, a list of job summaries, and helpful information and tips. On every page there is a download icon so users can download, share, or print study questions (or the study in its entirety) to use for response preparation. If you still have questions, contact us at support@theaawa.org.

Early Birds who complete 80% of their organizational data will be able to access filters and reporting on May 15. General Access participants will gain access once they reach the 80% data completion threshold. Those who Purchase Access will have instant access to generalized reporting, and comparative, personalized reports and filters will only become available upon entry of organizational data.

While your organization might have met the completion requirement for the 2018/2020 data set(s) and previously had access to filters and reporting, those permissions have changed due to additional required questions being added for 2022 data collection. Incomplete required questions are marked with a red triangle with an exclamation point in it. Once you complete those additional questions, reporting and filters will be accessible.
