ThoughtSpot

Financial and VEP Reports now available!
Authorized chapter leaders can now access their financial and volunteer data through ThoughtSpot's NEW Chapter Payments, Service History, and Chapter Opportunities and Applications Liveboards. Additional enhancement to come soon including: tax records, sub-totals, and more.

 

ThoughtSpot is the replacement of the legacy system known as the Chapter Reporting System (CRS). ThoughtSpot is PMI’s way of getting you direct access to chapter data, where any leader with appropriate access can search, ask questions, find answers, and drill into data infinitely – IN SECONDS!

ThoughtSpot provides key metrics and allows you to explore your chapter’s member data. It will assist you in setting and tracking KPIs in support of the essential Annual Planning process. ThoughtSpot provides an enhanced user experience and gives instant access to your data, vs. waiting for your Chapter Engagement Staff Support to deliver ad-hoc reporting requests.

CRS Discontinuation

The Chapter Reporting System (CRS) will officially be discontinued for use on Monday 10 July. Chapter Leaders should now use ThoughtSpot, the one-stop-shop for all chapter reporting, including current/prospective membership data, certification data, and chapter membership satisfaction survey results. Please refer to this FAQ for answers to common questions.

THE DEP Web Service (API) will NOT be impacted by the discontinuation of the CRS.

Granting Access to ThoughtSpot

Access to ThoughtSpot will be Single Sign On (SSO) with the existing permissions structure in alignment with the Component System (CS) - We are encouraging Chapter Presidents to look closely at the permissions for each officer listed in the CS. If the officer has the checkbox indicating their access to the Chapter Reporting System (CRS) and Charter Renewal, they will have access to the membership data in the new ThoughtSpot. If there is no desire for this officer to have access to the membership data within ThoughtSpot, we kindly ask for you to ‘uncheck’ this checkbox. Discussions with the board about the removal of the officer’s permissions might be necessary and the transparent communication to the officer.

Any officer who will be granted permission to access the membership information in ThoughtSpot should be made aware of Section 6 in the Policy Manual for PMI Chapters, which details the Chapter Use of PMI Membership and Data. These officers should read and agree to abide by the policies outlined in this section to ensure the security of their membership’s Personable Identifiable Information (PII). We do encourage the chapter’s policies to limit the number of officers with access to PII to a few with collaboration with those officers who do not have permission to access this data.
