New RPS Online preview and top priority data fixes reminder

We are excited to share a new preview video of RPS Online.

The video is 23 minutes long and includes:

• a walkthrough of the system's fundamental layout,
• demonstration of some basic functions, and
• system highlights.

Reminder: We encourage you to make these top priority data fixes before converting to RPS Online

Prior to converting from RPSV4 to RPS Online, there are certain data fixes we encourage you to make to ease the transition to RPS Online. While none of these issues will prevent conversion to RPS Online, if you don’t address them before the conversion process, there are instances in which you will be required to address data issues on the screen in order to make new data updates.

We recommend these changes are made to at least the current roll year data so the changes are rolled over in RPS Online going forward. However, where sale inventory data is concerned, priority should be given to valuation usable sales going back no more than 5 years. Based on edits run by the Project Team, the majority of municipalities throughout the state do not appear to have a large number of these fixes to review.

In consultation with the RPS Online Constituent Group, we have organized the necessary edits into three priority levels:

• Top: Core data points that are used within multiple system functions and are generally required in RPS Online (download the Excel spreadsheet).
• High (coming soon): Corrections that if made prior to conversion will save you valuable time once using RPS Online.
• Systematic updates applied during conversion (coming soon): You will not need to take action on these edits, the information provided is for your awareness.

At the time of conversion to RPS Online, we will provide you a report specifying where unaddressed anomalies are present in your data. If you don’t make the data updates prior to conversion, you may be prompted to make them in RPS Online when making updates to data with the specified issues.
