This program was designed for experienced budget and revenue users as well as a follow-up for new users who have attended the instructor-led budget and revenue class at the ITC Training Center.

Duration times shown are approximate. The simulations will run automatically in your browser; however, you can pause, rewind, or fast-forward through the screens at any time via the navigation bar that is displayed as the program runs.

Please note the following when viewing these demonstrations:

  • Each year, the information from the last target year is rolled into the new target year.
  • All screens are rolled except BDVEHICL and BDBUDGET.
  • Most users will only need to make updates.
  • The IFAS screens default to BROWSE mode.
  • You must be in the correct ledger when entering information for your department.
  • The demonstrations may display screens showing past fiscal years. Please enter the appropriate fiscal year when entering your budget information.

 

NOTE: The first time you click on a demonstration, the download process will take a few seconds to complete. Subsequent viewings of the demonstration should launch with little delay.

We hope these online demonstrations provide you with a solid understanding of the steps required to complete these BID forms in IFAS.
