Reporting Consumer Forum
These forums provide report consumers with the opportunity to ask outstanding questions, develop a deeper understanding of the business intelligence tool (Power BI) used to access and run existing reports, and request demonstrations of consumer functionality. These forums are 1 hour long and will take place at 11:00 AM ET on the third Thursday of each month. The agenda for the forums is determined by the participants. We may come to the forum with a new tip to share, but the main purpose is to respond to questions and requests for demonstrations. No registration is required to participate in the forums. Meeting information, including the link to log in to the forum, is sent 1-2 weeks in advance of each forum. Those interested in attending the Reporting Consumer Forum should reach out to their USA Staffing Account Manager to be added to the distribution list.
Participants are strongly encouraged to complete the Power BI Consumer Training prior to attending.
Questions or requests for demonstrations may be sent to USAStaffingData@opm.gov. If/when submitting a question/request, please send it no later than two days prior to the forum.
Previously asked questions (as well as our responses) can be reviewed in the Consumer Forum Q and A document on the Training & Resource Material page on the USA Staffing Data Resource Center.
