OTDI has been running a series of articles encouraging users to do some deep cleaning —spring cleaning—to optimize storage and decrease our overall storage footprint. Retention is one way to effectively use the storage by ensuring we keep university messages as long as required, then discarding them when they are no longer needed.
OTDI’s Learning and Collaborative Environments team has kicked off the process of streamlining OSU meeting room technology. While it will take years to standardize equipment across campus, LCE has created a standard Conference Room technology package to start that process. While this is a long-term goal, having standard equipment in rooms offers many benefits.
On Friday, March 29 , an update will be made to transaction routing for Service Centers. Previously, for individuals assigned both the Rep and Lead security roles (Business Operations Service Center or Grants Operations Service Center) the transaction did not route for an additional approval. Moving forward, this feature will be turned off. If an individual has both security roles (Rep and Lead) the transaction will now route for an additional approval.
