DCA SAGE Details

Task List

Each time you log into DCA SAGE, check the Task List on the left side of the Start Menu (Home Page).

The Task List is your DCA SAGE “to do” list. To begin working on a task, click its underlined hyperlink.

Searching

See DCA SAGE Start Menu for information about using Quick Links to search.

Back and Forward

When working with DCA SAGE, use the navigational links that DCA SAGE provides, instead of the Internet browser’s Back and Forward buttons. Otherwise, you may not be seeing the most accurate, current data and, sometimes, if you use your browser's Back and Forward, DCA SAGE may “hang up” on you.

Refresh

If you do use the Internet browser’s Back and Forward buttons, and you want to make sure you have the latest DCA SAGE data, click your Internet browser’s Refresh button.

Scroll Up or Down

DCA SAGE pages can be large. Use the scroll bars (at the far right side of the screen and on the bottom) to scroll up, down, left, or right to see information that may be above or below your current location.

Automatic Logout

For security reasons, DCA SAGE automatically logs out after it is idle for 45 minutes. “Idle” means you haven’t clicked a link, saved a page, or sent anything to the Web Server.

Sending and Saving Data

DCA SAGE is a web-based application. While you are working in the system, information is not sent to and from the DCA SAGE database until you click a button, like Save, Submit, etc.

Click Save periodically while you are working in DCA SAGE (especially when you are filling in a long form, or if you leave your desk for awhile). If your Internet connection is broken or if DCA SAGE automatically logs you off in the middle of entering data, your work will be lost and you’ll need to re-enter your information.

Required Fields

A data input field with a red asterisk (*) in DCA SAGE must have information entered into it for the form to be saved and accepted. If you encounter a field with a red asterisk, but you have no information to enter, type “N/A” or “0” (zero) into the field.

Pop Ups

If you are using your Internet browser's Popup Blocker, turn it off to use DCA SAGE.

Confirmation Boxes

When you click Save, Submit, Delete, etc. in DCA SAGE, the system displays a confirmation box, asking if you are sure you want to complete the action. Click OK or No at this box, and the command will either be executed or cancelled.

Certification Boxes

When submitting certain reports, the system will display a Certification Box, asking for your Password. Read the statement in the box, and, if you agree, enter your regular DCA SAGE Password (that you use to login to SAGE) and click OK.

Pending Items—

If you have an Amendment, Revision, or Financial Status Report being reviewed by DCA, you cannot submit an additional Amendment, Revision, or Financial Status Report for that particular grant until the pending matter is approved and executed by DCA.

Application or Grant Contacts

To see or work on an application or grant, Agency Contacts must be given access to the application or grant by the Application or Grant Administrator.
