Welcome to LSNTAP’s Data Management Toolkit! This toolkit is designed to help legal aid professionals strengthen their data practices from the ground up. Through a series of engaging, practical videos, you’ll learn how to define your data collection goals, standardize intake forms, and ensure consistency across your case management system. We'll also walk you through using features like dropdowns, conditional logic, and data dictionaries to streamline entry and improve data quality.

But that’s just the beginning. You’ll also discover how to use your data effectively—testing and refining intake forms, generating accurate reports, and creating impactful visualizations using tools like Excel and PowerPoint. By the end of this series, you’ll have the skills and strategies to tell your agency’s story through data, meet funder requirements with confidence, and ultimately deliver more informed, effective services to your clients.
