Cognos In-District Training
NEOnet is now offering In-District Training to whoever would like our Cognos training available in their district. If you would like training in Cognos for yourself or your staff then you can reach out to us and we will drive to your district on an agreed-upon day where we can go over basic Cognos report building and navigation or go over existing reports that needs our attention.
NEOnet does offer Cognos training in the main Cuyahoga Falls office, with one coming up on November 5th, and we invite you to attend these sessions if you are interested or know someone on your staff who would be interested. However, some districts have reached out and let us know that they would be interested in a Cognos training but are not able to either due to scheduling or because of the distance between their workplace and NEOnet main office. This is why we are now offering our expertise to come to your district in case there has been a need for training on this software but no time to attend the training in the main office.
We have already had one district take advantage of this opportunity so please do not be shy and reach out to us.
State Software Employee Self-Service (ESS)
Because ESS access varies at each district depending on the role(s) that have been assigned as well as what the district has enabled in the application district-wide, our ESS User manual is your go-to resource to familiarize yourself better with the options available to you in the application.
