Recommendations

Expedite and fully implement the ADAMS Records Manager (RM) module so that records retention schedules can be attached to all the official records within ADAMS.

Fully implement the new Enterprise Search tool to help address the existing issues regarding search and retrieval.

Reduce the number of templates, study applicability of automation techniques to pre-fill profile metadata, and attain better standardization and consistency.

Place hyperlinks directly in ADAMS to quick reference guides, how-to guidance, RM training, and other ADAMS training, to remind users about the ADAMS features and RM responsibilities.

Obtain the needed ATO.
