Job Indicator Code and Job Indicator Updated to Include Future Dates

Epic:  EAHMAINT-1751

To facilitate automated provisions for employees with no primary job - including intercampus transfers in progress - the logic for Job Indicator Code and Job Indicator has been updated to include these future jobs.  This update has been tested and is in Production now and applies to all EAH views.


Renaming & Deprecating

As we've adapted the EAH 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. 

  1. ITS-BIA will release new fields with 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.

  2. ITS-BIA will allow a transition period for report developers to repoint their reports at the new fields / views.

  3. ITS-BIA will remove the data from the old fields / 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.

  4. ITS-BIA will deprecate the fields / views.  Any reports the have not transitioned by this point will break.

We'll be using this new strategy on the following items that require name changes:

  • LL Project Manager Name will be replaced by Project Manager Name Full

  • Position Funding Project Manager Name will be replaced by Project Manager Name Full

  • Position Funding Task Manager Name will be replaced by Task Manager Name Full
