New Views

EAH-ApprovalExtendedAbsenceDetail-View

BIA and the UC Path Reporting team are excited to release the EAH-ApprovalExtendedAbsenceDetail-View.   This View will report on the Employee Extended Leave Absence Request Workflow Statuses for the campus which will assist the HR/Payroll teams in managing their work. UCPath can only show this data one employee at a time but EAH will allow the analysis of multiple employees.  This view will be part of the EAH Core views and will include row level security.  This view will be going to Production in February 2025.

Epic:  EAHE-2848 - Getting issue details... STATUS

SNOW ticket(s) addressed: CS1532971

Fields unique to this view:

  • Extended Absence Sequence Number


EAH-WorkforcePerMonth-View

Per report developer request, BIA has created the EAH-WorkforcePerMonth-View.   The EAH-WorkforcePerMonth-View adds an additional primary key, "Workforce AsOf Date" to EAH workforce reporting. The  "Workforce AsOf Date" is the last calendar day of the month. The view reports the set of workforce values where the "Job AsOf Effective Date" is as of the "Workforce AsOf Date". The view also filters to return the max effective sequence number for an effective date. The view results are dynamic in that any retroactive change to UCPath will be reflected in a subsequent query. 

This view will be part of the EAH Core views but no row level security.  This view will be going to Production in February 2025.

UAT - Customer Service Reminder

Data in UAT is not ready to be shared with end customers, is not considered completely validated and can change suddenly.  For optimal customer satisfaction, do not connect your production solutions to packages / data sources that are in UAT.  If you choose to share UAT items with end customer, be explicit that the data and report is in UAT and can change suddenly or be broken by UAT changes.

Follow our Enhancement User Acceptance Testing (UAT) Steps

Use this UAT time to adjust your reports as needed prior to the Production release where your customers will be able to see any issues these enhancements cause. 
  • Cognos: Use the packages in Cognos DEV > Student Activity Hub > Student Activity Hub Packages UAT to build your report and select Hana QA.  Do not select Hana Prod as the report will fail.  Using Hana QA will allow you to see the below enhancements with Production data. 
  • Tableau: Sign into Tableau on your Tableau desktop tool and open your report.  Add a new data source with the same name and -QA at the end of the title.  Using this data source will allow you to see the below enhancements with Production data.
  • Hana QA:  SAH data in Hana QA is production data loaded daily, just like in Hana PROD.

If you find an issue, please include in your email to busintel@ucsd.edu the following:

  • What browser are you using?
  • What environment are you using?  Cognos DEV, QA or PROD?  Or Tableau?
  • What data source / package are you using?
  • What results were you expecting? 

Reminder: QA data sources will be deleted the Friday after the enhancements are migrated to Production.
