| eAppsDB
is a customizable web-based employment and volunteer application
management system that an organization can use to allow applicants to
enter and submit applications for employment and/or volunteer services. eAppsDB is also designed to manage the background check process for
an organization.
The fictional organization used as an example in the help system, The Malloran Foundation, is configured with all of the default application forms that are available in eAppsDB. Since eAppsDB was designed to be customizable based upon the needs of an organization, the application forms that appear on the application overview screen when you log in with your own account may be different in both quantity and content. |
The
Role of the Applicant
| You play an important role in our program. By using the steps outlined in this guide, you will be able to create your own account and enter your own application via the Internet. |
Using Help Screens
| To access ‘Help’ information, click on ‘HELP’ in the
upper left hand corner of each screen.
You will be taken to the Help screen information for the section in
which you are working. To go
back to your application, click on the Browser ‘Back’ button. |
Session Timeouts
| Due to the system resources that are consumed by the users connecting to eAppsDB, we are forced to limit the length of time that a person can be connected without having any activity. Depending on system load, we set this timeout between 15 and 30 minutes. If you are working in an application form and are called away, be sure to save your information before leaving. If you have filled out an application form and step away from your computer for a period of time greater than 15 minutes without clicking on the 'Save' button to save your data, your data will be lost if a session timeout occurs. |
Security
| Some users have expressed concerns about entering personal information on the Internet. These concerns have been addressed with the implementation of a “digital certificate”. As you navigate through this web site, you will notice that the web address now begins with “https”, rather than the normal “http”. This indicates that all information sent from the user’s browser to the Internet server is encrypted. This is the same technique used by e-commerce web sites that accept credit card information. |
| The ‘Background Check’ application form contains
information that will be used by your organization/employer to perform
background checks. Information
in this section is reviewed by an organization official in strictest
confidence and is only used to obtain information regarding criminal
history. Once entered this information is “locked” and is no
longer available to the user or site officials.
Your date of birth is used ONLY for verification purposes in the
applicant registration process to avoid duplication of applications and for the
background check process. Information
such as social security number and driver’s license number are used ONLY
for the background check process. |
