• An Authorized Positions utility was added, so that each grantee can enter its own information directly into SPARQ. Instructions will be provided to all grantee administrators.
• Five more edits have been made verifiable. This means grantee administrators will have the ability to mark the data element in question as “verified” and thereby suppress the warning. They are:
o P5, "Home phone number" is blank.
o P9-1, "Application date" is before 1986; please verify.
o P33-3, Applicant "Date of signing" is before 1986; please verify.
o P43-4, "Date of eligibility determination" is before 1986; please verify.
o A13-2, "Assignment date" is before 1986; please verify.

• Various text and label revisions will be made in several management reports and automatic e-mails.

• Attachment A must be submitted via e-mail; sending via fax is no longer an option.
• Phone Number must be provided.
• Each SPARQ account must have a unique e-mail address.
• Accounts whose User IDs do not conform to the formatting requirement are subject to immediate deletion.
• In order to ensure that accounts are not used by multiple persons, concurrent logins are not permitted. |
| SPARQ Security Changes - Tuesday, February 19, 2013Simultaneous logins are no longer possible. This change was made to enforce the policies that (1) users may not share accounts and (2) users must log out of SPARQ before closing their browser. Users must log out of SPARQ before closing the browser or navigating away from SPARQ or risk being blocked from logging back into SPARQ.
If a user closes the browser without first logging out
The session will remain active and additional logins with account will be blocked. The user will not be able to log in again for at least thirty (30) minutes.
If a user navigates away from SPARQ but does not close the browser
The user can type www.sparq.doleta.gov into the address window, or click on a bookmark for that URL, and the page will return to the active session. Please note that if the user types www.sparq.doleta.gov/login.cfm (or clicks on a bookmark for that URL) and re-enters login credentials, the session will be blocked. For that reason, we strongly recommend that all users add a bookmark for www.sparq.doleta.gov, and remove any bookmarks for www.sparq.doleta.gov/login.cfm. (Note: In internet Explorer, bookmarks are called “Favorites” or “Internet Shortcuts”.) |
