A new dashboard has been developed to give users a quick, easy‑to‑understand view of key financials and a simple summary of operational transactions. This tool is designed specifically for budget managers who do not regularly use financial reports, with the goal of making financial information clearer, faster to review, and more intuitive. We are seeking up to 15 participants, particularly budget managers with limited financial reporting experience, to help test the dashboard and provide feedback. See the full post for participation details.

The "Sources and Uses – Annual Trending" report has been updated to include five years of data, expanded from the previous three. This enhancement provides users with greater visibility into longer‑term trends.

A new column has been added to the output of the "Business Process Approval Times - Requisition Detail" and "Business Process Approval Times - Requisition Summary" reports.

A new "Approval Times - Software Request Details" report is available to review the approval times for each approval step in the request workflow for software preapproval requests. See the full NewsLink post for details about the new report.

A new "Spend Category" prompt has been added to the "Business Process Approval Times - Requisition Details" report. This new prompt has been added to allow users to see approval trends for requisitions with specific spend categories.

We’ve added a new “Only Return Trackable Values” checkbox to the “Spend Categories – FDM Values” report. When selected, the report will display only trackable spend categories—those that route to Asset Management for review. This enhancement makes it easier for departments to quickly identify trackable spend categories and supports Finance during requisition reviews.
