Getting Started with Decision Support
Everyone needs to start somewhere. If you are going to be using Decision Support, whether to report on the activity within an account or find codes needed for a transaction, you have come to the right place to begin. This tutorial will guide you through the basics of using Decision Support - from logging in, to running your first query.

  • A password setup for Decision Support
  • A supported internet browser: Netscape 4.x or later; Internet Explorer 4.x or later; Opera
