The manual is being put on the WWW to offer all the NYS Migrant Educators guidance in using MIS2000. The goal is to have uniform definitions and procedures across the state. The direct link to this manual is
http://nysmigrant.org/node/3
The manual is designed to be viewed on the WWW, but if you would like to have a hard copy click on the "printer-friendly version" button at the bottom of the page and print it off. This will print this page and all the pages linked to this page. As of April 22th, 2016 the result of printing user the "printer-friendly version" button would be a 36 page document.
The manual is subject to change as changes are made to the MIS2000 database in response to the needs of the NYS Migrant program and to the Migrant Student Information Exchange (MSIX).
The Menu Bar consists of the clickable words at the top of the
MIS2000 screen. Below you can see how the Menu Bar looks when you are in the COE View. In the Student View the word COE does not appear.
Now we will go across the Menu Bar and tell what choices are
accessed by clicking on each word.
Clicking on Record reveals three choices as shown below.
Clicking on Procedures offers the choices shown below.
When you do an upload to the state computer, the work you have done in
MIS2000, such as entering COEs and adding enrollment information, will
be copied to the state database. You should do an upload to your state at least twice a day. The state database should always have an updated copy of your work.
1. Go to the Procedures menu, then select Upload Changes. The Upload
Status window will appear.
2. Press the Begin Upload button. When your changes have finished
uploading to the server, you will see one of two things:
· If your upload has finished without any problems, you will get a
message saying,
"Your upload has completed successfully." Your upload has not completed successfully until you see this message! You will also see the date of the upload on the Upload Status window
You can now close the upload window. Your upload is finished.
·If your upload encountered problems, you will get a status report
with directions for making corrections, if necessary. If the status
report isn’t clear, contact the ID&R/MIS2000 Director.
If you do receive a status report, you should print it out by pressing
the Print button.
3. Press the OK button. If there is an upgrade available, the upgrade
will begin downloading to your computer. Once it finishes, you will get
a message telling you to reboot your computer.
Reboot at that time.
Rarely needs to be used. Should be set with a check before Auto Caps
Lock and the other two unchecked as shown below.
Clicking on COE offers the five choices shown.
The Go menu provides you with a quick way to get to other
information related to the student or COE you’re currently viewing.
Example: Say you are working on the Student Data of Janet Smith. You
want to see her COE. Go to the Go pull-down menu, and select To COEs.
MIS2000 will then show you Janet’s COE(s).
NOTE: If the "To COEs" menu item is grayed out (you aren’t allowed to select it), then that child does not have a COE in your database. If that is the case, please send the information to the ID&R/MIS2000 Director
The View menu allows you to flip between the COE, COE Draft, and Student views.
NOTE: Changing the view does not take you to the COE/COE Draft/Student Data of the student you are currently working on. If you wish to see the COE/Student Data of your currently selected student, choose the Go pull-down menu.
Clicking on Help shows two choices.
There is a lot of information available here and it can be very useful.
By clicking on the + sign in front of a "closed book" icon you can
access more information. Click on a topic and it will appear as shown
below where "Procedures" has been selected.
You can turn Tips off or on here by checking the box in the lower left
hand corner of the window. Or you can choose just to see new tips.
The Electronic COE (ECOE) is a new application being used across NYS in order to improve the accuracy and expedite the process of approving Certificate of Eligibility (COE). This section of the manual will provide instructions and important information regarding processing ECOE by Data Specialists (DSs)
Status and Ownership
The system shows status in the following way:
Incomplete: some fields are still not complete, or not submitted
New: All items complete; now either in hands of DS or Verifier. Recruiter cannot make any changes
Rejected: Problem with COE, review log for more information
Verified: COE has been Verified by Verifier
Approved: COE completed and DS has matched up or created new students
Step 1: Download COE from the Server
After recruiters submit an ECOE, the ECOE goes to the NY Server. In order for you to review and accept the ECOE, you need to download it first.
Step 2: COE Draft Section
Just like we have a Student Side and a COE side, we have a specific section for us to review and approved the ECOEs
Now you can use the navigation arrows to see and review all new ECOEs that need to be approved
Also notice that you can get information about the dates the COE was "Created" and "Modified" on the right side of the screen and/or "View Log"
Step 3: Review the Information:
Make sure you review every page in the ECOE side (Census, Qualifying, Signatures, Elig Comments). Make sure that the information in every section is correct, ESPECIALLY the Signatures and Elig Comments pages since they are a new section in our system.
Child(ren) Section
Now that you review all other COE side pages, let's focus our attention to Child(ren)
TIP! Make sure when adding a child there is NOT blank spaces between the Bar and the student name. When this occurs, it means that a new child ID and field has being created. If this happens, click on the blank space and click on "Remove child from COE"
Step 4: Print COE
After reviewing all information go to COE on the top panel
Step 5: Approving and Uploading the COE
After you have verified the information and printed the COE, you can click "Approve COE"
When you "Approve COE", you will not be able to find/change the student information or the COE on your system. However, you will be able to review the information on the "Student Side" if the student already existed in the NY database. Still, you will not be able to add information and a message will say "Unapproved Enrollment".
Now that you approved the COE, you need to send it to the ID/R reviewer
Go to Procedures/Upload changes
Step 6: Completing the Student Information
After the ID/R reviewer has accepted the COE, you will receive it after you click "Upload Changes"
Search for the Student
Finish entering the information. Example: School district, any missing enrollment lines
Children are eligible to receive MEP services if they meet the
definition of “migratory child” and if the basis for their eligibility
is properly recorded on a certificate of eligibility (COE) or other
written or electronic form. In this manual the paper copy or electronic copy of the COE
that is filled out by the recruiter will be referred to as the
“certificate.”
When a COE certificate is received by the local METS it should be
added to the local MIS2000 system. Before entering the information from a COE certificate, Data Specialists do a Student Search under
the Student View to see if the students are already on the local or
state database. To learn how to do this go to Student View/Search Student.
Important: When COE information has been added or updated the local METS database must be uploaded daily to the state server.
Our current paper COE certificates have room for three student listings. Some families have more than three students. In those cases the recruiter fill out as many COEs as necessary with all the required fields including parent's signature on all COEs. The Data Specialist will enter all COEs to completion into the system. Example: A family with 6 students moved to your area. The recruiter will fill out 2 COEs with all the required information. The Data Specialist will enter both COEs (number and required data fields) separately into the system. You can add a note on Directions about having 2 COEs for that family.
Open MIS2000 and go to the COE View as shown below
Keep the CAPS LOCK key on at all times when using MIS2000. All data must be entered in capital letters.
Use the TAB key to move from field to field when moving sequentially over the screen. Use the mouse pointer to jump to a field to edit.
Here's a graphic to show what the symbols below the Search COE button mean.
There are some powerful buttons here. The Delete Button on the COE Data panel (the – minus sign) should not be used without consulting with the state ID&R office.
Information that you have entered is saved any time that you leave a screen or exit the program even though you have not clicked on the Check button.
COE Data Panel
Includes the fields COE Number – Approved on the top portion of the screen of every COE screen.
On the COE data screen left click on the + sign, which is the

This is the screen where you link the child(ren)s information from the COE
(CHILD/SCHOOL DATA) to the COE child(ren) panel.
You need to add each child individually via either the Add Child –
New SH (School History line) button or the Add Child – Existing SH (School
History line) button.
You use the Add Child – New SH button when you want to create a new
school history line for the child.
You use the Add Child – Existing SH button when you want to attach
this COE information to the most recent existing school history line.
Both buttons work the same way. Select the appropriate button.
NOTE: The Remove Child from COE button is to be used when you
erroneously add a student to the COE. Removing a child from the COE
Child(ren) panel does not remove the child from the MIS2000 database.
After clicking "Add Child" a student search screen appears. This screen is accessed from both the COE View and the Student View.
This screen has seven tabs across the top. First we will describe
how to use the search available on the Key Data tab.
Do Search For Child -
Searching for a child is an art which you will learn as you go
along. There are multiple strategies to search for a child. Searching here
works much like searching with Google. The more criteria you put in the
fewer hits you will get. Use as few fields as necessary to locate the
child.
Last Name field - Type in four or more characters. You can
type more characters to narrow the search.
Last Name 2 field - Rarely used except to narrow the search
First Name field - Type in four or more characters. You can
type more characters to narrow the search.
Middle (Name) field – Rarely used except to narrow the search
further.
Student ID field – Rarely used with the exception of locating
errors in student’s name.
Birthdate field – Used when you have multiple identical names
or when you only have the birthdate.
Birth City field – may be eliminated from search but not from
display below.
Advocate field – The Show Enrollment Info check box must be
checked for this criteria to be used in a search. If the Advocate’s
name hasn’t been added to a School History line for the child this
search won’t bring up the child’s record.
COE Number field – Rarely used when adding a child to the
COE. The advantage of this search is that you can locate a group of
children. This is more often used from the Student View than in the COE
View. For example if you need to update information for all the
children on one Certificate of Eligibility.
Male Parent and Female Parent fields – Rarely used when
adding a child to the COE. The advantage of this search is that you can locate a
family without looking up the COE number or locate a child when you
don’t have the whole name of the child at hand. This is more often used
from the Student View than in the COE View.
The Do Search for Child button searches your local data only. Click
on this button after entering the criteria in the fields described above.
A list will appear below. If/when you locate the student highlight the
name by clicking on that line and click on the Select Child button. If
no names appear from the local search expand your search by using less
criteria or using other fields. Also check spelling. If no name appears
proceed to Search Remote. This procedure is described below.
Select Child button - When you locate the student, highlight
the name by clicking on that line and click on the Select Child button.
This takes you back to the COE Child(ren) Panel.
Add to List button – Rarely used. Can be useful for creating
a list of students for printing information about them.
New Child button – When the child doesn’t appear on the local
or remote search click on this button to create a new student ID. This
will take you back to the COE Children Panel.
Close button – Used to close the window.
Search Remote button – This searches the statewide database
for possible student matches. A list will appear below. If/when you locate
the student highlight the name by clicking on that line and click on
the Download Student button. If no names appear from the local search
expand your search by using less criteria or using other fields. Also
check spelling. If the server is down or unreachable postpone adding
the child to your database.
IMPORTANT; When adding a student to the COE, it is required to do a Student Search and a Remote Search per student in order to prevent duplicates throughout the State
Download Student button – This button is grayed out until you
have found the student on the statewide database via the Remote Search.
When you select the student and click on the Download Student button
you will be taken back to the COE Children panel.
You will repeat this procedure for each child on the certificate.
You will be doing this for each and every child on the COE. It is a necessary process and you will get use to it in a short amount of time.
Use of the other tabs will be described when discussing the Student
View of MIS2000.
COE Children Panel Completion After Adding a Student Found via a
Search
If it is a new child complete the fields.

School Year Enrollment
The METS Enrollment Date will be September 1st of the current school year if the student is residing in the district on September 1st. If the student moves in after September 1st then the METS Enrollment Date will be the residency date for that student.
Please note:
When the Residency Date on the certificate is within the current
funding year, use the Residency Date as the Enrollment Date. If the
Residency Date is prior to the current funding year use September 1st.
Before CSPR Submission: For students identified after 9/1/14 and before CSPR submission (normally the first week of January) with a Residency Date before 9/1/14 put in an R Enrollment for Enrollment Date of 8/31/14 and Withdraw on 8/31/14. Then, enroll the student for the current year, in this case, 09/01/14.

Handling Departure Information
When you receive Departure information from a RECRUITER, you could individually depart from the Student View or as a group or individually from the COE side.
On the COE Departure panel you can do one, two or more children at once. Enter Departure Date, Forwarding Address, City and State. As minimum, you should enter the State to which the student departed.

NOTE: If student departed to Mexico, enter "MX" as Dep to State.
Once Departure information is entered, select the students you
want to depart by highlighting appropriate names. Finish by
left clicking on the Update Selected Students box.
Now, you need to individually withdraw every students that has been departed. For the most part, the withdraw date will be equal to the departure date unless the students expired before the departure date.
Also make sure that the departure information is on the correct (most recent) enrollment line on student side/school history tab.
Signatures will appear if the COE has been filled out via the Tablet PC.
If entering paper COEs, please make sure you add the information provided by the recruiter.
Please check that the information is complete and that both signatures, parent/guardian and staff are completed.
Here is where the Eligibility Comment Section form needs to be entered. This panel has two tabs and six fields. The form (also referred as Secondary Sheet) is used by recruiters to document eligibility of: As of 5/1/16, recruiters will be submitting a yellow copy of this form along with the paper COE. Please enter the information written in the form on this tab and staple to the Paper COE. If you are reviewing an ECOE, please make sure all the pertinent fields are entered on the form.
If you want to confirm that you are connecting the student with the correct school you can check the NCES code at the following site.

Once a child receives services or the METS determines why a family shouldn’t receive services this needs to be changed to A, S or R. These "Z" enrollments should be converted by the end of the funding year to A, S or R.
IMPORTANT: If the presence of the student can not be verified for any day within the funding year the School History line should be removed.
Days Enrolled – currently optional. During the Academic

Main reasons to use this screen.
If you update an address for a family when the family composition hasn't changed you only need to enter the information on the Family Information Panel for one of the student and it will be updated for all the students in the family.
Current Parents: Father Last Name, First Name, Mother Last Name, First Name fields - These fields default from the most recent COE Census Panel, when you enter a new COE and when you change any field on the COE Census Panel. When you enter new information or edit existing information from the family panel it does not change the COE Census Panel information.
Note: If at a later date you edit the COE Census Panel and you have not change anything on the Family Panel, the information on the Student View - Family Panel will be overwritten by the COE Census Panel information.
Current Address, City, State, Zip and Phone fields - These fields default from the most recent COE Census Panel, when you enter a new COE and when you change any field on the COE Census Panel. When you enter new information or edit existing information from the family panel it does not change the COE Census Panel information. After you have made a change of the Family Panel, any changes on the COE side will not be copied to the Family Panel.
Example: You received a change of address for a COE that you processed two days ago. You made the changes on the Family Panel. Then, you received an email from the recruiter saying that the original address on the COE was wrong. When you make the changes on the COE side, the changes on the COE would not override the data fields on the Family Panel. Hence, you will still have the most current address on the Family Panel after having corrected the original address on the COE side
Mailing Address, City, State and Zip fields - These fields default to the most recent COE for the family. Changes made to the COE Census Panel do not show up here. If you intend to use for mailing labels on any other purpose, update the information as changes become available. Some Data Specialists choose to ignore this and use the Current Address fields only.
School District, County fields - currently optional. Type in School District. The County is filled in by default from the COE Census
Panel.
Move Date field - currently optional.
Comments field - optional. Can be used for directions or other information METS deems important.
The Set and Clear Buttons - When you click on Set a Find Family window appears. If you are changing the child to live with another parent/relative/guardian you can search to see if the parent is already in the database. If the parent is found Select him/her. If the parent is going to set up a separate household or is not found in the search you will need to make a new family.
If you need to move additional child to another family you have to search for the child and then search for the family and select it. You have to go through the process for each child that is joining another family.
The Clear Button erases the contents of all the Current Parents field. The information is not removed from the database, you can use the Set button to search for the family again.
This page is exclusively for OSY. This is the screen where you enter the information collected through the OSY Student Profile.
NOTE: Every OSY student (including D+ and DOs) need to have a profile.
There are two grids at the bottom of the panel. The right grid is the School History grid. To enter a new profile, select the correct School History line then click on the + (insert record) button. NOTE: You can only add one profile per enrollment line.
The page is divided into 2 tabs: Student Info and Categories.
The fields MEP Program, COE number, Address, Phone number and Last Grade attended are populated based on the information entered on the most recent COE.
Enter the information according to what the migrant educator collected. When done with the fields on the "Student Info" tab, continue to the "Categories: tab.
Please remember that we need to complete an OSY Student Profile for every performance period that a student was present in NY. Example: A student moved to Naples NY on 7/30/15 and a OSY Profile was completed on 8/30/15. If the student was still present on the area on 9/1/15, we need to enter a profile for the new performance period (09/01/15).
Printing Out Of School Youth Profiles:
Go to Reports/Snap Report and select OSY Student Profile.
Choose any of the provided filters and check that the Start Date and End Date are correct (Example: 09/01/15-08/31/16).
Click "Run Report"
If you want to print only the profiles of the students missing the OSY Profile, add the following filter:
OSYStuProfile.PROFILE_DATE is null
MIS2000 offers a number of ways to create reports from the data.
Basic reports can be made using the Report Builder.
You can use the Report Builder to get information quickly from MIS2000. You can print the information with very little formatting or you can make it better looking using Designer. Some people export the information to another program like Excel and do the formatting that they need there.
There are SNAP reports that are often created by the MIS2000 staff and put on your computer when you get updates. You can also make SNAP reports yourself.
All reporting starts by clicking on the word Reports on the menu at the top of all the MIS2000 screens. You can access reports from COE or Student View. When you click on the word Reports you can choose Snap! Reports or Report Builder
Report Builder is a tool which allows users to create their own reports in MIS2000. If you need to know how many students are enrolled in a particular school, or the names of students who scored a particular grade on a test, Report Builder will make it easy for you.
Report Builder is made up of three parts: Selector, Designer, and Snap Reports.
· Selector allows you to choose the student or COE data that you want included in your report.
· Designer (found at the bottom of the Snap Setup tab) allows you to format your Select data and make you report look polished and professional.
· Snap Reports allows you to run the report you have created
Report Tab
This tab gives you a list of the Report Types you can base your report on. For example, you can base your report on all enrollments in your database, or on the most recent enrollment for each student. The most commonly used reports are:
All Enrollments: gives you information for any enrollment line
Most Recent Enrollments: pulls the data exclusively from the most recent enrollment line.
COE: gives you the opportunity to run the data based on the fields associated with the COE
If you would like to see more advanced reports, you can click on the Advanced bottom on the right side of the screen. This bottom will show you other reports such as All Enrollment (Outer) which will give you data showing students with or without having the data requested on the display information. Example: running a list of 9-12th graders and if they have test information.
To select a Report Type, simply click on it, and a list of tables included in the Report Type you selected will appear. You are now ready to move to next step.
Comparisons Tab
The Comparisons tab is where you define what records you want to see. For example, you can tell Report Builder to show you only students in a particular district, or only students with enrollment dates within a certain year. You can add unlimited comparisons to any report.
Display Fields Tab
The Display Fields tab is where you choose which fields you want to be displayed in your report. You can display unlimited fields on any report.
Sort Fields Tab
The Sort Fields tab is where you can choose the order in which you want your report to be listed. For example, you can dictate that you want your report ordered by last name, or by enroll date, or by district code.
Sorting on more than one field
You can sort on more than one field. For instance, you could sort by Region Code, District Code and Last Name.
The sort field that is listed first will be sorted first. The sort field listed second will be sorted second, and so on. For example, say that you added two sort fields to your report: District Code and Last Name. If District Code is listed first, all the entries in your report will be sorted by district. All the "District A’s" will be together, all the "District B’s" will be together, etc. Then, within each District Code, the students will be sorted by Last Name. If you sorted by Last Name first, then by District Code, the entries would be sorted first in alphabetical order by last name. Then, within each last name (the Smith’s for example), the districts would be listed in order.
Moving Sort Fields Up and Down
To move a sort field up or down, select the field in the large white field. Then press the Move Up or Move Down button. The field will move up or down, accordingly.
SQL Tab
The SQL tab appears only when you have checked the Advanced check box at the bottom of the Report Tab. SQL stands for Sequential Query Language and shows you the syntax of the comparisons that you have submitted in the form as they are presented to the database engine. You only need to refer to this tab if you are curious or MIS2000 staff request you to do so.
Snap Setup Tab
This tab is where you can modify reports to be run in Snap Reports. Snap fields listed here will be available as filters in Snap Reports. Also, this tab allows you to prepare your Select Data for Designer.
Snap Tab
This tab is where you run, print, and save your report.
To run your report, press the Run Report button.
To save your results as a file, click on Show data. Then press the Save as File button. This will save a copy of the data in the format of your choice. Choices are comma separated values (csv), tab delimited text (txt) or pipe delimited text (txt). The comma separated format is frequently used to bring files into the Excel spreadsheet program.
Basic Selector Tutorial
This tutorial will only take a few moments, and will teach you how easy it is to create your own custom reports.
1. Open the Report menu at the top of the MIS2000 screen, then select Report Builder.
2. You may want to maximize the Selector window by pressing the square in the top right corner of the window.
3. Notice that there are 7 tabs across the top of the Selector screen. The first tab is the Report tab, and it will be open.
4. Uncheck the Advanced tab for now.
5. Press the New Report button.
6. From the Report tab, click on All Enrollments. Wait until you see the list of tables appear in the white field to the right before moving on to the step 7.
7. Click on the Display Fields tab. Click on the + beside the Student table to open it.
8. Click on Last Name to select it, then press the Add Display Field button. You will see "Student.Last Name" appear in the large white field.
9. Repeat step 7 to add First Name to your report. Now students' first and last names will appear on your report.
Your screen should look like this.

For example, say that you added two sort fields to your report:
District Code and Last Name. If District Code is listed first, all the entries in your report will be sorted by district. All the "District A's" will be together, all the
"District B's" will be together, etc. Then, within each District Code, the students will be sorted by Last Name.
12. Press the Results tab, then press Run Query. This report shows you the names, in alphabetical order, of all the enrollments in your database.
