    2. If it becomes necessary to use a home computer for work purposes the worker should save documents only until they can E-mail the documents to their office computer.  Once that submission is confirmed confidential documents and information should then be deleted from their own home/personal computers.
  5. Instructions posted on the intranet
    1. “On-Call Laptop Help Files” are posted on the Children’s Division intranet Web site to assist staff in basic operation and dial-up procedures.  For additional questions, staff may contact their local ATC or SDSU.  If one-on-one instruction is necessary, the local ATC will be available to train users on how to dial up.
  6. Problems with the laptop, dial-up connection or access to dial-up:
    1. Technical assistance during business hours: Contact your Area Technical Coordinator (ATC) or Systems Development and Support Unit (SDSU), (previously known as FACES) at 573-522-9651.
    2. For password resets and other system connectivity issues (after-hours, weekends and holidays) contact DSS Centralized Help Desk at 1-800-392-8725.  The State Data Center answers the phone after-hours and will page the appropriate contact.
    3. For hardware issues (after-hours, weekends and holidays)  Contact the CANHU to inform them of the failure and make other arrangements to gather report information.  On the next business day report the laptop failure to your Area Technical Coordinator (ATC) or SDSU unit (573-522-9651) so arrangements can be made for getting a replacement laptop delivered to your site and/or getting the laptop repaired.
