Manage Your Clients

The Client Manager page enables you to quickly view tracking data for children from specific clients or groups.

Client Management Screen

The Client Manager allows you to create, edit, store, and manage all of your client’s data, including specific information ranging from each child’s last name, first name, and birth date to month and year of enrollment, child key and ID, and assigned DLP. Specific features within the Client Manager include options for organizing research groups, editing child information, and assigning the DLP. From the Client Manager screen, you can access all other features of the LENA software.

Collection

Client Manager provides a quick, concise view of each child’s vital identification information.

	Using the traditional data collection method, you can employ the DLP Configurator to determine the number of DLPs you need and then send DLPs, clothing, and instructions home with your client/subject. (Try our DLP Configurator at http://www.lenafoundation.org/dlpplanning.) After recording their natural language environment for a day, the client/subject drops off or mails in the DLP and clothing to your office, enabling you to use LENA Pro to process the audio recording. This is an easy way to introduce your client/subject to the LENA System, but only you have access to the data and information.
	LENA Parent provides the client/subject with a DLP and clothing for home use and also enables the second method of data collection: LENA Flash Drives. Once your client/subject has invested in LENA Parent, you can order flash drives and pass them along to your clients/subjects. Clients can conduct up to 10 days of home recordings with LENA Parent and attach the flash drive to their personal computer at any time; LENA Parent automatically transfers all data to the flash drive. To protect privacy, LENA Parent offers the client/subject the option of excluding the audio file. After the flash drive is returned, you can connect the flash drive to your system and import all of the data and audio. The compatibility of LENA Parent and LENA Pro helps ensure that the data obtained with flash drive is the same as the data you would have acquired while processing the DLP recording on your own system. Please note that this data transfer method is only supported by specially configured LENA Flash Drives.
	Finally, there’s secure Internet Transfer. This method is supported in the 2009 version of LENA Pro and must be used with LENA Parent. First, you enable Internet Transfer in the LENA Pro software. Then whenever the client/subject connects to the Internet, the data is automatically sent to a special FTP site. At the same time, Internet Transfer automatically notifies you that new data exists and is available for transfer to your system. Unfortunately, Internet Transfer does not support audio files, which are too large to transfer.
