About the CNIPS Home Page
The CNIPS Home Page consists of three major sections:
· Bulletin Board.
· Log on.
· Links.
The bulletin board is managed by SCN and provides general information. It is important to remember that the bulletin board on the home page is viewable by the public.
The log on section is where authorized users enter their User ID and password. It also provides a link for users that have entered a valid User ID, but have forgotten their password, to be transferred to another webpage to reset their password.
The links section provides access to websites and additional information:
· Selecting the Need Help? link will transfer the user to a webpage where the user can send a support request or request a User ID and password.
· Selecting the SNP Program Resources link will transfer the user to a webpage that provides additional information on the National School Lunch Program.
· Selecting the CACFP Program Resources link will transfer the user to a webpage that provides additional information on the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
· Selecting the SFSP Program Resources link will transfer the user to a webpage that provides additional information on the Summer Food Service Program.
· Selecting the Training Registration link will open the Training Registration module, enabling Sponsors to review and register for courses offered by SCN.
