NOTICE AND WARNING: This data system is the property of and subject to the laws, rules and regulations of the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is intended for use by public health personnel in Virginia. This system is intended for use only by authorized persons and only for official public health business. Authority for access is granted based on job responsibilities and with the expectation and understanding that users will comply with VDH and system-specific security policies and procedures. All users of this system give their express consent to the monitoring of their activities. Monitoring findings may be disclosed to administrative and law enforcement personnel. Users (authorized and unauthorized) have no explicit or implicit expectation of privacy. Unauthorized or improper use of this system may result in administrative disciplinary action and state or federal criminal prosecution and civil or criminal penalties. By continuing to use this system you indicate your awareness of and consent to these terms and conditions of use. It is the responsibility of the creators/editors/managers of a project to ensure that sensitive data is not exposed, user privileges are updated, and data is retained in compliance with all laws and CoV policies. For further information on record retention requirements, see the Library of Virginia's website (https://www.lva.virginia.gov/agencies/records/retention.asp). All projects, which collect data from the public, or for operational purposes must be moved to Production before data collection begins. This is necessary as VDH is required to retain certain data by law and CoV policy. Making changes to a project can cause corruption, or loss of that data if done improperly. When making changes to a project in Production, you have a chance to review your changes before they are implemented. If the administrators discover projects which appear to be collecting real data, or contain more than 20 records and do not contain the identifiers TEST, TESTING, or DEVELOPMENT in the title, they will be moved to Production automatically.
