New table listing the various levels of security

If you know your AD group for your team, please email busintel@ucsd.edu and I’ll add it to this table = https://ucsdcollab.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ACP/pages/1657733646/AH+Security+FAQs#Q:-How-do-I-set-up-a-Team-Folder? .

Can a prompt page tell the users if they have forgotten to fill out a required prompt?

At this time, not automatically.

You could, maybe, add a ‘check prompts’ button to check if the required prompts are populated and if they are then the ‘submit’ button could appear.

VC Name and UC Code changes

Will be coming in UC Path (EAH) and Hire Online. Check your filters if you are focused on VC Name/Code.

Have SIS ID / Bar Code, how do I get to Student PID?

Start with AH Field List Report

Find the View with those two fields

If the View Type = “Column Groups Only” then you’ll need to ask a data integration person to pull that data from the column groups associated with that View.

How does Cognos Bursting work

  1. Set up the report w/ a field for email addresses

  2. Enable report to ‘burst’ on email address

  3. Schedule the report to ‘burst’

Report will check to see if there is data for that email address.

The Schedule will determine how often the report checks for data.

Why does Excel Data and CSV only download the first tab?

This has been a limitation since Excel Data / CSV download was introduced.

IBM’s answer is to use the regular Excel option.

EAH Row-Level Security Report has moved

Not finding Hire Date in EAH from UCPath

Best person to ask is BAH > HR/Payroll > Ask a Question

Email will open a ticket for the UC Path Reporting team.

SAH-TSS Data

https://ucsdcollab.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ACP/pages/2943844392

Will there be data conversion? No, just raw data from TSS.

Adding lots of IDs to a filter

Pre-format your list of IDs in Excel then paste into filter

="'"&C2&"', "
