Purpose: This job aid will guide you to effectively use the Notifications function in NEICE 2.0.  Notifications are accessed using the Notifications icon in the menu.  The most recent five Notifications are displayed on the user Dashboard. 

Overview


The first communication in a case is a Home Study Request which will trigger a Notification. The ICPC Coordinator will receive interstate Notifications of Transmittals and Messages sent by local/County offices to the ICPC Central Office.  Case Workers will receive notification when cases are sent to them.


When Notifications arrive, the recipients receive an email telling them to log into NEICE and view the Notification. Notifications can be accessed from the Dashboard upon Login and by selecting Notifications from the Menu. Notifications are displayed on your Dashboard under the heading “Recent Notifications & Alerts”.  Additional Notifications are displayed on the Notifications icon on the menu bar. 



Icons identify the type of communication in a Notification

  1. The envelope icon represents a “Transmittal” from another state.

  2. The envelope icon with a paper clip represents a “Transmittal with an Attachment” from another state.

  3. The speech bubble represents a “Message” from within your state.
