The Tableau report "Delegation History - OSU" has been updated with the enhancements described below.
A new "Stopped Date and Time" field has been added to the report. When the delegation is stopped for any reason before it's expected end date, the stopped date and time will now display in a new column. A new filter "For All Business Processes" has been added to the report. Additionally, the naming of two fields has been changed. "Allowed Action" has been changed to "Start on My Behalf." "Specified Business Processes" has been changed to "Approval on Behalf of Specified Business Processes." A clean-up has been done on the "Delegation Details" and "All Delegation History" to no longer display rows denoting when a worker is on leave and returns from leave. This reduces some unnecessary noise in the data.

The Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) announced a Request for Proposals (RFP) in December 2023 for an enterprise-wide proctoring tool or tools to support teaching and learning at the university.

Blanket orders are used for transactions that occur very frequently (daily or multiple times a week), have a high variation of product types, have undetermined timing, and are not available in Buckeye Buy.
All FY25 UNIV blanket purchase orders must be issued outside of Buckeye Buy. Requestors should select the “blanket purchase order” requisition type and complete the request per the Create a Blanket Purchase Order job aid found in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC). Please note , the "Request Date" of the requisition should reflect the date the requisition is created and should not be future dated . University funded blanket requisitions should align with the July through June fiscal year calendar.
Monthly service orders (formerly term orders) for uniform service, pest control, office coffee and water service, floor mat replacement, lawn care and snow removal should also be issued on service line blanket requisitions, outside of Buckeye Buy.
Accounts Payable advises users to include the service to be provided and frequency in the description line of the requisition. It will also be helpful to include the expected term agreement details in the memo to supplier field (example, $50.00/month for 12 months).
Reminder: Encumbrances for blanket purchase orders associated with fiscal year 2025 will first post to fiscal year 2024 until a manual job is run at month-end to move the encumbrance into fiscal year 2025. The process will look for any blanket purchase orders created after April 15, 2024 .
A new Internal Order Supplier Invoice Printing job aid (login reqired) has been published in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC). The job aid provides instructions for how Internal Service Providers can print their invoices in Workday to an OSU formatted PDF printed version.

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.
