NEW CPS DATA ELEMENTS

Effective June cycle 2004

A number of new fields, both defined and actual, have been added to the personnel data warehouse for June cycle 2004. These data elements have been added to the FY and Snapshot tables. Some of these fields were added to CPS in the past few months and are now being extracted for the data warehouse; others are defined fields which are new to both CPS and the data warehouse.

Here is a list of all the new data elements and links to their data dictionary pages, where more information is provided about each field.
