Messy or inaccurate data can be a headache for non-profits and social service organizations, especially at reporting time. Searching for errors and then going back to fix them takes painstaking, time-consuming effort that’s made all the more stressful at crunch time. Excessive mistakes could trigger expensive staff re-training, while missed errors mean the data you are submitting to stakeholders may be inaccurate.
The Data Quality Issues List (DQIL) in Penelope allows your agency to proactively address errors as they occur, improving both your organizational efficiency and reporting accuracy.
The DQIL appears as a tab on the Collaboration Suite in Penelope, giving each user clear insight and one-click access to any data entry errors that need to be addressed. Checking the DQIL tab can become part of each user’s morning or weekly routine, and supervisors can track the data cleanup in real-time.
Examples of popular items on the DQIL include
