Hi Angela and everybody;
I have been trying, but not always able, to keep up with all the emails for pointers at the same time I am filling
in the ACL forms.
Has someone already asked about the fact that the “FINAL revised performance
measures” document lists PM numbers to report that are not included in the PM boxes in the ACL system?
If so, what was the answer to this?
Also – are you all finding that your projections are just the best guess you
can make at this time or is there some secret method?

I learned today that Sheryl is on vacation. You should probably contact Sara at AIDD. As for the problem, I have not encountered it (yet!).

So apparently we tried to delete an objective and now stuff is out of order in ACL system. See below. Has anyone encountered this? My staff sent the following
note to Sheryl but thought I’d ask the broader audience as we near the deadline!
We are experiencing inconsistencies between how our Objectives and associated content (activities, outputs, measures, etc.) are appearing in ACL (they are not ordered correctly) and how they appear when we run the
Annual Work Plan reports for each year.
2017 Goal 1: objectives appear as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 7, 8. Goal 2 objectives appear as 2, 1, 3. When we run the report for year 2017, the Objectives appear to the eye to be number correctly (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9),
but the activities, outputs, outcomes are not aligning with the correct objective in some instances. I believe this stemmed from the issue I emailed you about yesterday in which we were not able to finalize the 2017 Work Plan because we had blank entry lines
in some areas of the objectives in the plan.
We corrected this issue (or so we thought) by deleting the entire objective that had blank entries and re-entered all data for that objective. This caused the
misnumbering of the Objectives themselves in the work plans and the subsequent misalignment with performance measures, outcomes, etc.
Is there any way to correct this problem to ensure that the reviewers are viewing the correct content?
