A new Aggregate tab default view is now available. The new view: summarizes effort certification events by earnings period in one view, displays rows by Grant and Award Types (sponsor, cost share, Non OSP, Department Funded), and eliminates extra data displayed in the Details tab (for example, less relevant worktags, separate rows for each pay component, etc.).
The implementation of the new Aggregate tab view coincides with the June 2023 - August 2023 certification period published in early September 2023. It is also available for prior certifications but reports already approved do not need to be recertified.
