CUMIS and Reporting Changes

As you go to enter your Reported Time in CUMIS, you may notice a change within the Tabs.
The Contacts tab has now shifted to the Civil Rights tab. This change is important as how we report the data in CUMIS has changed for the better.

Agents are still required to collect Civil Rights Information as they always have, through the approved sign-in sheet or through questions listed on registrations or during Zoom meetings, but how we report that data in CUMIS has changed slightly.
Instead of combining the totals for race, gender, and ethnicity, you now just total each category, as seen below:

This change is in line with federal guidelines as set by USDA, NIFA and simplifies the data entry process for agents. Please keep your attendance sheets and registrations on file for audit purposes.

Team records are most often used to report a program or workshop, but they can also be used to report media activities. Beneficial functions of a team record include preventing agents from over-reporting data and the duplication of records.

When a program or workshop is conducted, the organizers or administrators should decide who will be responsible for reporting the activities performed during the program or workshop. The agent responsible for creating the record in CUMIS will add each of the organizers or administrators under the Team tab. Without adding each of the participants the records will not show up in a user’s CUMIS records.

When there are multiple contributors to an article or multiple administrators on a Facebook page, a team record is best used to capture the data. The process is mostly the same, but it is important to capture the reach of your Facebook content. The attached flyer provides in-depth information on how to measure the reach of your Facebook content.

If you have any CUMIS questions, please contact the CUMIS Administrator, Becca Thompson at rthomp7@clemson.edu. Becca offers one-on-one zoom sessions and group training sessions.
