Welcome to the first installment of the Three Years of Tableau blog series. In February, an initial overview was shared highlighting Tableau use over the past three years at Ohio State, along with findings from a January 2022 survey. With this blog series, we’ll dig a little more and share some user testimonials. Read more.
We all share the crucial responsibility of protecting Ohio State’s institutional data, which is why faculty, staff and student employees with access to certain administrative systems such as Workday and Tableau must complete training each year.
As the situation in Ukraine and eastern Europe evolves, many Buckeyes are reaching out with concerns about how this conflict could affect our systems and the university, should there be an increase in cybersecurity threats. Our Digital Security and Trust team is always on the job, with numerous tools looking for vulnerabilities and potential issues around the clock. As always, our Ohio State community plays a major part in keeping the university safe.

The "Find Assets" report allows users to view, analyze, and take action on individual business asset lifecycle events or edit the business asset.
The report received the listed enhancements during the week of February 21.
Enhancement highlights for the "Credit Card Transactions - OSU" report:
Workday will be unavailable due to planned monthly maintenance on Saturday, March 5, from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Kronos and external dormakaba time clocks will be available, but employees using Workday to clock in and out should enter their hours once Workday is online.
Health System Supply Chain users should note the important information listed below.
Two Workday reports, "Find Requisitions" and "Find Requisitions by Unit - OSU" will be decommissioned on March 31, 2022. These reports will be replaced by two new reports coming soon named "Find Requisition Summary - OSU" and "Find Requisition Details - OSU." Users with saved filters for "Find Requisitions" and "Find Requisitions by Unit - OSU" are asked to delete them prior to the decommission date.
New report descriptions:
Find Requisition Summary - OSU
“In Progress” journal entries that are older than 6 months will be cancelled beginning at the March month end close (April 7) and will be an on-going process. Self-review can be done by running the “Find Journals â OSU” report. You can select “In Progress” as the Status and put the initiator’s name under “Originated by” to narrow your search. The original initiation date can be found under “Status History” or “Process History” once you open the entry.
