    Cristina Cardenas | October 30, 2025
    The "OSU - Find Assets" report prompts will be updated to include a new "Grant Hierarchies" prompt as well as a "Worktags" prompt. The "Cost Center," "Grant," and "Project" prompts will be removed as the new "Worktags" field allows users to search for those three types of worktags, as well as all others. Additionally, to allow users more flexibility in prompting, the "Cost Center" prompt on the report group "Financial Transactions Awaiting Action" will be replaced with a "Worktags" prompt. See the full post for more details and a list of affected reports.
