Hello everyone, My name is Kathy Yu and I am part of the NCTCOG MPO, which is the 2020 Census PSAP PPO for our 16-county area in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. I learned that not everyone has been receiving information about the GUPS Software download, webinar information, and shapefile pre-plans, so I am providing links that I know of here. Please post to the listserv with any follow-up questions or information. GUPS Software download: I received the following information from my Census District office. GUPS software for PSAP (GUPS.zip) is now available here<https://www2.census.gov/geo/pvs/gups/>s/>. Please make sure to review Item 1.1 of the attached FAQ which mentions resolution of an issue with non-administrators trying to use the GUPS Plug-In. Webinar: They have posted Census GUPS Webinar Dates under the "Training Webinar Information" link on the following page: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/about/psap.html I would suggest that you cc your district office on your email to reserve a webinar. I guess my email to reserve a webinar was sent to spam, so I needed someone to intercede on my behalf. Documentation: (Attached) Starting_a_New_Project.pdf - Excerpt of GUPS Guide to create a new project PSAP_FAQ.docx - PSAP FAQ developed by our district office (I believe Item 1.1 in here was developed from our experience in trying to allow Non-Administrative Users be able to use the Plug-In.) I also have a 2020CensusPSAP_GUPSGuide.pdf but it is 24 MB. Can anyone suggest a way to make this available to the listserv? Shapefile/Pre-Plan downloads: 1. 2020 Census pre-plans (18v3): https://www2.census.gov/geo/pvs/ (Refer to FAQ 1.2 for naming convention) 2. 2020 proposed tract changes (in tabular format) can be downloaded here<https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/partnerships/psap/2020proposed_tra…/?>. 3. Most up to date 2010 geographies (18v2). https://www2.census.gov/geo/pvs/ (Refer to FAQ 1.2 for naming convention) Some quirks that we have experienced so far: 1. Need to copy files from administrator's User files to get the plug in for a user with no administrative privileges 2. Cannot share projects folders between users easily. If a second user tries to use the same folder, it asked to delete the previous projects. You can export and import project.zip files. 3. I expected that the pre-plan tracts and block groups would appear under working county in the layers, and the 2010 shapefiles would appear under 2010_geographies, but this is not always the case. I hope this helps. Please let me (or the listserv) know if you have questions or need any additional information which I didn't include.
