The CU-Data reporting system will be upgraded to Cognos 12 this spring. The go-live date will be communicated as soon as it is known.
We initially expected the go-live date to be Thursday evening, March 14, with the upgraded reporting system available as of Friday morning, March 15. However, our reporting team (thank you, Sarju and Fallou!) identified an issue that needs to be addressed by the software vendor before we can go live. We will keep you updated via our CU-Data Upgrade website, our OUC News, and our m-Fin blog.
As a reminder of what to look forward to with Cognos 12:
- You will see a number of enhancements to the CU-Data User Interface (UI).
- Some of the menu items that you regularly use for m-Fin reports will move to different locations on the home screen ... but they will all still be there, just arranged in a more streamlined menu.
- As you use the new UI, you should find you are getting to your data more efficiently than before.
- The m-Fin reports themselves have not changed -- the prompt pages and outputs still have the same familiar look and feel. If you schedule any of your reports to run automatically (a great feature in the current system), you may need to click in different places when creating a new report schedule, but your current report schedules will continue to run without any changes or updates.
We'll be in touch regarding go-live date, rescheduled webinar training, and other important issues
