During the Two-Year Modification process, not all narratives will be updated. To review which narratives in a plan have been changed since the Two-Year Modification version of the plan was created, create the Narrative Changes Report.
You can create the Narrative Changes report at the plan level, which returns results from the entire state plan. To do this, login to the portal and select the state plan containing the narratives you want to review. Proceed to step 1 below.
You can also create this report at the section level, which returns results from only one section. To do this, login to the portal and select the state plan, then select the arrow of the section containing the narratives you want to review. Proceed to step 1 below.
-
At the plan or the section level (see steps above), select 'Narrative Changes Report.'
-
Select 'Create Report.'
-
Note: You can still create the report if the text ‘Report not found’ is displayed; this happens the first time you run this report.
-
You must create a new report every time, to capture any changes since the last time the report was created.
-
-
Select 'Confirm' when asked "Are you sure you want to create the [plan and/or section name] Narrative Changes report?"
-
The report displays changed narratives in a table. When viewing the report, you'll see the date and time the report was last created, if available.
-
The table may be larger than the display. If necessary, scroll left and right to view the full data in the report.
-
Columns included in this report are Year, State, Section, Requirements and Compare Changes columns.
-
If you wish to navigate to the updated narrative view, select the Requirement name link in the Requirements column. Selecting this link will display the narrative. From this view, you can view the changes through the 'Compare Changes' view.
If you wish to navigate directly to the 'Compare Changes' view of a narrative, within the Narrative Changes Report, select the Compare Changes link in the Compare Changes column. Follow the steps in the Compare Changes job aid.
It is not necessary to download the report, because the data is available in the onscreen report. However, if you choose to download the report, follow the steps in the Downloading the Narrative Changes Report Job Aid.
