Renaming and Deprecating

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. 

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.  This release we will be deleting the old out-going fields as part of view clean up.

• 'Fiscal Period Beginning Balance' will be replaced by 'Fiscal Year To Date Beginning Balance' with the partner field being 'Fiscal Year To Date Ending Balance'
