A: CWS-CARES supports uploading, storing, organizing, and retrieving electronic documents. Users can drag and drop files or attach them directly to CWS-CARES records such as Screenings, Contacts, Cases, and Assessments. Therefore, files can be uploaded and associated with an individual's case record. Currently supported file types are as follows:

• .pdf – Adobe PDF
• .doc/.docx – Microsoft Word
• .xls/.xlsx – Microsoft Excel
• .jpeg/.jpg – Images
• .txt – Text files
• .mov/.mkv/.mp4 – Movie files

A: The Binti Family Finding module was part of the original scope for Binti data conversion, it was not added later on.

A: No, data mapping validation sessions are not cumulative. Each session reviews a specific set of tables, and counties may attend sessions independently.

A: Yes, the Binti Family Finding module is in scope and part of CWS-CARES data conversion effort.

A: Yes. CWS/CMS is the system of record. If a field already exists in CWS/CMS, Binti data will not override it.

A: The data in Production Simulation will consist of data brought over from Binti and CWS/CMS.

A: No, Production Simulation is a practice environment so the data will not be saved into the permanent case record.

A: Yes, the Binti data will be included in the Production Simulation environment once the project has loaded, converted the data, and counties have verified the data. However, we do not anticipate Binti data will be available at the beginning of Production Simulation.

A: Matching records from Binti to CWS-CARES will rely on external or licensing identifiers rather than names alone. Counties play a role in ensuring those identifiers are populated.

A: If the external ID is missing and the relationship cannot be established, the system may not be able to reliably match records. In these cases, county assistance may be required to resolve gaps.
