Reporting staff unveil student reporting prototypes

Recently, staff from the ESUP Reporting and Data Management (RDM) Team created several reporting prototypes and are now sharing them with multiple stakeholder groups to find the best solution that will meet their reporting needs. Sharing the prototypes also provides an opportunity to  explore new features available with the system upgrade.

Using functional designs from the Student work stream, RDM staff made the prototypes with PeopleSoft (PS) delivered reporting technology to demonstrate what staff can do using real-time data and highlight functionality of the new system.

Over the last couple of weeks, ESUP Student Reporting Lead Kristeen Anderson and other team members presented the prototypes to the following groups:

• Student Leads
• ESUP work stream project directors
• Twin Cities Academic Support Resources directors
• Student financial leads and analysts
• Financial Aid Functional steering committee
• All Student Meeting
• Student work stream leads

“Basically, we want to share the prototypes because we need our stakeholders’ acceptance to use PeopleSoft technology to deliver reports,”  said Anderson.

So far the response has been positive. “It will be great to have the additional flexibility these reports provide including the drill down functionality”, said Kris Wright, director of Student Finance in Academic Support Resources.

Anderson and the RDM Team plan to start sharing a few HR reporting prototypes at the HRMS work stream team meeting on August 15. Please email esup@umn.edu with questions about the prototypes or for more information.
