· Profile, all of the capabilities are listed.
· Milestone, you select specific capabilities on which to report. Milestones may be saved by defining a Milestone Set to provide easy reporting on the same milestones throughout the program year.
o Saved milestone sets created by Agency-level users will be available to Center and Class-level users.
o Milestone sets created by Center-level users will be available to Class-level users.
