There are 3 options for exporting TOPS attendance hours from ASAP. Regardless of which option you choose, it's critical to continue with the same choice and not switch from one option to another within a program year.
1. CUMULATED Attendance Hours = This new record will enter the latest total.
- Do not enter a date range
- Check the option Export all hours for class up to today
2. UPDATE Attendance Hours = This new record will add to the previous one
- Enter a date range
- Do not check "Export all hours for class up to today"
3. DAILY Attendance Hours
- Enter a date range
- Check the option Export Daily Attendance
*** DO NOT SWITCH FROM DAILY TO UPDATE OR CUMULATED
WITHIN A PROGRAM YEAR***
ASAP recommends cumulated attendance hours. This eliminates the need to keep track of where you left off. If you choose Update or Daily, you must keep record of what you exported previously.
HOW OFTEN TO EXPORT/IMPORT HOURS
To remain compliant with Federal POP WIOA rules, you must export/import hours minimally every month. If you use Cumulated and wait more than one month, you risk restarting POP for students.
