Section 5: Applicant Data - CSV File Fields
Overview: The Grantee, (POL) will send a NHHSP CSV file with applicant data that will be uploaded to
BMISS and used to auto-populate data fields within the New NHHSP Award page. The CSV file can
include data for one or more applicants and the data will be exported from the POL source system
(currently FileMaker Pro). Below is a table that lists the specific CSV BMISS data fields expected to be
included in the file and characteristics of each.
Business Rules: The current BMISS values are intended to be used in any fields in the table below that
include the note “Provided POL BMISS Values”. If/when there are any updates in BMISS to those fields
they will need to be provided to POL to update their source system for the CSV data export. If those
values aren’t updated prior to the CSV file being populated/downloaded, BMISS will not include those
fields in the import process. BMISS will process default blank values in those fields that can be later
edited, either manually or via a file updated by either POL or the analyst during the CSV upload process.

Section 8: Applicant Data Transfer in BMISS
Overview: The NHHSP Analyst can upload the applicant CSV file for initial review in BMISS through the
NHHSP Applicant Data Transfer page within BMISS Intranet.
Please note that this initial process of CSV data upload will only result in creating Tasks within Task
Manager and does not create the official NHHSP participant profile and corresponding financial
obligations in BMISS. Further steps are needed within the submission of the New NHHSP Award in order
to create the NHHSP participant profile and financial obligations.
Business Rules: Analyst must have BMISS Intranet access and a NHHSP Reviewer role
Steps:
1. NHHSP Analyst navigates to the NHHSP Application Data Transfer page in the following location
within BMISS Intranet: Programs > NHHSP > Applicant Data Transfer

Figure 9: Applicant Data Transfer Navigation
2. A manual CSV upload feature is available in which the analyst can select a file from their local
machine or network to upload awardee data to the page for review. A data table with the
following columns headers, that are a subset of the data from the CSV, will populate the
associated data in the table with the CSV uploaded data:

then be able to review the rows of data which each correspond to a single NHHSP applicant
within the CSV file. The analyst will be able to select the specific row(s) of data to submit to
create a Task within Task Dashboard.

5. A banner message will be displayed to confirm successful submission and task creation for the
awardee(s) selected. Additionally, a flag will be displayed for each row. The analyst can click on
the View Details button next to the flag to review the reason for the flag, which in this case will
be to indicate that a Task now exists for the awardee and the analyst will now be unable to
select and re-submit that row to create another Task.

Section 9: Applicant Data Transfer – Validation Flags
Overview: The NHHSP Applicant Data Transfer page has a Flagged column designated to display
warnings and errors for each of the individual rows of data. For each flag the analyst can click on the
View Details button to view a pop-up with information about the reason for the flag. Additionally,
banner error messages can be displayed at the top of the page when an error occurs after the analyst
either uploads a CSV to the page or after a failed submission of selected data rows occurs. The analyst is
able to update the CSV data and upload the file again, or request that the Grantee, (POL) make the
correction and resubmit the file, so the analyst can repeat the import/upload process.
Business Rules: Analyst must have BMISS Intranet access and a NHHSP Reviewer role
CSV Validation Examples:
1. An error banner message will be displayed if any individual row does not included the required
number of comma separated values. In this case those specific rows will be identified by the row
number within the CSV file and will not be uploaded to the table on the page for possible
selection and submission.

matching SSN value. The analyst will be unable to select and submit that row for re-submission.

4. A warning flag will be displayed if the CSV has a row with a SSN that already exists within BMISS
for a participant. However, in this case this flag only acts as a warning and the analyst will still be
able to select that particular row for submission to create a Task.

both and the analyst will not be able to select either until the CSV is updated and re-uploaded.

6. An error flag will be displayed and the analyst will be unable to select the row if a continuation is
requested but the awardee within the CSV is not an existing participant within BMISS.

event that the value for this field is 1, 2, or 3 (NULL(blank) is allowed, but 0 is not) and the awardee
requesting the continuation is an existing participant within BMISS, a flag will be displayed in the
Applicant Data Transfer page for that row. The analyst will not be able to submit that row to create a
Task for a New NHHSP Award. However, the View Details pop-up will contain a ‘Create Continuation’
link that will redirect the analyst to the continuation page in which the analyst can enter the required
data to submit the continuation request.
