NCIV invites National Program Agency program staff to view two ten-minute video productions, Data Entry: A Video for Users of eNPA and Searching and Exporting. They are intended as both an introduction for new staff and a refresher exercise for veteran users of the eNPA application. After you have viewed the videos, send any comments or questions to the presenter, Jodi Roy, at the Help Desk (civnpasupport@comcast.net or 1-866-266-4367).
And remember, as you use eNPA, EXPORT, EXPORT, AND EXPORT AGAIN so that the new information will become accessible in the EVDB-e and eCIV for your IVLP partners at the Department of State and the Councils for International Visitors.

Video #2 Searching and Exporting
The video illustrates the various ways you can search for data in your eNPA database, then export the data as a file (Excel, Word). The exported file can then be used, including in a mail merge, to generate lists, letters, and reports. To view, click here.
