AUXDATA ACCESS
A directive has come down from the Department of Homeland Security that all
accounts that remain inactive for 45 days will be locked. Effective 1 June 2009,
OSC will make the change to AUXDATA. If you have access, please make it a point
to sign-on the system at least once a month to maintain your access and keep
from having your access locked and eventually deleted. This applies to both the
Production and Training databases.

eDirectory tip: When you pull up
more than a full sheet (20) of names on Standard Search and want to save them
using the Export Feature at the bottom of the page and save to CSV will capture
the entire list regardless of it's length.
eDirectory tip: The list of names and addresses captured in CSV can easily be used to create a "bang list" for e-mail. Highlight the all items in the column for e-mail address and cut and paste it to the address section of your e-mail message. No typing required!
