HP TRIM Quick Start Guide
Hannah Wells, Administrative Specialist II with the City of Milwaukie, has
put together an HP TRIM Quick Start Guide for new users. Hannah
thought a shorter version of the Training Guide would be useful for users
to follow in training sessions. Hannah has shared her Guide with ORMS
Support, who will send an electronic copy out to new agencies for their
scheduled ORMS HP TRIM training sessions.
Questions The Quick Start Guide is a condensed version of key points of the training
session. We thank you, Hannah, for going “Beyond the Call” in putting
or Concerns? this together. The City of Milwaukie is our most recent agency to start
using HP TRIM.
