Please read the following page for data formatting and files structure below.
Registration and Data Uploads have been tested successfully utilizing the following browsers and versions:
Client will have the opportunity to upload one list for Employees and one list for Vendors, each month, designated by the OIGCN system as “Employees” and “Vendors”. Each uploaded file must be a COMMA SEPARATED VALUE (.CSV) file. We recommend that you create your files using Microsoft Excel, and then save the files using CSV format. Please remove any column headers in your final CSV file.
Client has the discretion as to what information to include on each list. Client should include as much information as possible for the designated fields.
The process used to validate individuals and entities requires specific fields to ensure that there is no confusion during the identification process. Listed below are the data formats, showing the order of the data fields and the maximum length of each field. These are the only fields that we require. Please do not include any other fields.
Employees list (contains educational facility employees)
LastName(200), FirstName(200), SSN(9), DOB(10), Address(200), City(200), State(2)
Vendor Entity list (contains vendor/contractor information)
BusinessName(200), LastName(200), FirstName(200), VendorEntity TIN/SSN(9 digits)
**All names must include associated TIN or SSN information for screening of those names to occur. Blanks will be completed once vendors provide correct name and TIN/SSN information during the OIGCN registration process.
Website data uploads are conducted through our website at www.sanctionscreeningnow.com, which uses a 2048-bit SSL certificate using RSA encryption issued by a Certificate Authority. We offer two website upload options for submitting data files for screening: manual data grid (for Employee File only) and data file upload (for both Employee and Vendor files). While client has the discretion as to what information to include on each list, we recommend that client should include as much information as possible for the designated fields.
Manual Data Grid Option for Employee File
Client logs in to the password-protected client portal area and enters the following data into the grid fields on the OIGCN website: Last Name, First Name, Social Security Number (SSN), Date of Birth, Address, City, State.
*Note: SSN information must be included with the manual data grid option. If this information is not available, then you must use the Data File Upload option.
Data File Upload Option for Employee and Vendor Files
Client logs in to the password-protected client portal area and utilizes the UPLOAD FILE option (separate links for Employees and Vendors) to browse and locate the respective employee or vendor file for uploading. Please refer to the section on Data Content & Formatting for details. Once CSV files are created, client can use Notepad to view the files to ensure correct formatting prior to upload.
