As we've adapted the FINAH views to your needs, we have found changing field names is painful for both report developers and our team due to the name change breaking reports, data integrations and packages / data sources. In an effort to avoid this pain, we are going to introduce a new name change strategy.
- ITS-BIA will release new fields or views the contain the new nameswith the revised field name in the views that contain the field to be renamed, or where a view is to be renamed ITS-BIA will release as a new view the view with the revised name.
- ITS-BIA will allow a transition period for report developers to repoint their reports at the new fields or / views.
- ITS-BIA will remove the data from the old fields or / views and allow a second transition period. This will not break the report but will highlight where the fields / views are still in use as they will become blank.
- ITS-BIA will deprecate the fields or / views. Any reports the have not transitions transitioned by this point will break.
We'll be using this new strategy on the following items that require name changes:
- CBO Account Hierarchy fields will be renamed to Managerial Reporting Account Hierarchy
CBO Fund Hierarchy fields will be renamed to Managerial Reporting Fund Hierarchy
Expenditure ID will be renamed to Transaction Number
Contract Sponsor LOC Number will be renamed to Award Sponsor LOC Number
Contract Sponsor Is Federal Flag will be renamed to Award Sponsor Is Federal Flag
Contract Sponsor Is Federal Count will be renamed to Award Sponsor Is Federal Count
FINAH-Task-View will be replaced by FINAH-ProjectCosts-View
