Recent and Upcoming Reporting Enhancements as of July 29

Below are details about reporting changes in production as of July 29.

Business Assets Reporting:

The "OSU - Find Assets" report now features a new Asset Description prompt. This text field allows users to enter a description, returning assets that begin with the specified value. This enhancement streamlines the search process, ensuring more accurate and relevant asset retrieval.

 

Find FDM Requests Report and Security Enhancements:

The "Find FDM Requests" report has recently been enhanced to include a prompt for the Initiator's CCH6 as of the "Date Initiated" value. On the output of the report, the column "Initiator's Unit" has been replaced with the "Initiator's CCH6 as of Date Initiated." This change was made to help capture the correct CCH6 for which the request was entered even if the initiator no longer works in that unit.

Additionally, the security groups permitted access to run this report have been expanded to include the roles listed below. Please note, in order to see the request on the output of the report, users will need to have one of the security roles listed below for the organization of the initiator. For example, if the initiator's organization is the company The Ohio State University, someone with the Cost Center Accountant role for that company will be able to view the request. However, someone with that same role but for the organization OSU Health System would not be able to view that request.
