Steve Johnson and the IT Group has prepared a new Application Note entitled “Address Entry Tricks for the Public Education Database” that includes a special section for units in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well. As you are entering your 2015 courses into the database, you may find this application note of particular value.

The application note explains in detail how the PE Dashboard validates the addresses you enter, and gives you tips and tricks for getting validation almost every time, with the markers on the automatically generated PE Course Flyer and Google Maps link, to the degree possible, accurately reflecting the true location of your course’s meeting place.

The latest copy of this application note can always be found online at the following permalink:

As always, if you have difficulty entering any address, after consulting with and following this new Application Note, please use the provided “Feedback/Bug Report” button at the bottom of the PE Dashboard.
