Deployment of the EduReports application is in full swing. The current thrust of the deployment is to roll out site-based viewing for district and site users. The advantage for school site users is that EduReports provides more up-to-date budget information than a monthend report that they might receive weeks after the monthend close date.
Two new application-resident reports were added under the Board and Financial Reports tab and a new security code to limit the ability of users to inquire on or view any payroll information. This security code will be especially useful for limiting the site users.
Version 08.01
was devoted to access and security fixes and enhancements for site-based rollout.
Contained in the version are account access enhancements, especially the use
of all evaluators (<> not equal to), and a more robust evaluation of account
access criteria when using the AND and OR separators and the use of parenthesis
within account rules and groups. This release also provides the ability for
the Admin user to quickly see a new account access group. Prior to this
it wasn't so easy!
Version 08.02 will be made available to CECC in the next few weeks containing the long awaited Financial Activity Report. Also included is an increase in the row retrieval amount on the Browse function up from 2,500 rows to 3,757 rows of display.
CECC offers EduReports trainings to assist both the site users and the district administrators. Account Access training is provided to assist the administrators with setting up the account accesses and pushing out the application to sites with appropriate viewing rights.
An overview on using the application is also provided, to which site users are invited. The trainings are split into morning and afternoon sessions. The morning is the overview, including sample inquiries and 'tips'. This session is very popular.
