Highlights of important differences 1)Vocabulary - KFS replaces legacy 2)Searches are based on the KFS ‘tree’ – NOT an alpha numeric dropdown 3)New fields – CC/EN, Chart, Org Tree Look Up 4)Space can only be assigned at the department (D) or section/sub section level (S) 5)Department users can now change an org to any department or section within their security domain. 4

Highlights of important differences 6)New Errors: A.“CC/EN” reminder B.KFS org and “CC/EN” combination C.KFS org family relationships D.Orphaned research 7)‘Add Sponsored Research’ projects collapsed 8)Browser issues 9)OBIEE reports and upgrade to version 11 10)Security user confirmation 5

1)Vocabulary - KFS replaces legacy Pink – what in legacy that is changing Yellow – what in KFS is changed from legacy Green – what is new in KFS - marks slides to indicate some instructions exclusively for org admins 6

7 You’ll have to go through a date ‘portal’ to look at historic records. When you click on the “FY-2011 and Before (pre-KFS)” button the windows you’ll see are the old legacy screens There is no 2012 Historical room data yet, the data for that comes from the snap shot of the system that is taken at the end of the fiscal year. The “FY-2012 and After (post-KFS)” button will show up sometime in Nov 2012 After the button shows up the screens for Historical search in 2012 and after will be in the KFS configuration Historical Room Search

8 Room Search

9

New wild card functionality: Alphanumeric fields with a plus-sign(+) can only accept a single Value or a Comma-Delimited Listv – example the “Coll-Div/Group” and “Dept/Section” fields can no longer search ranges previously identified with “…” 10 Room Search

11 Note “unusual” structure Searches return space based on the org you search on and ALL below it. 2) Searches are based on the KFS ‘tree’ – NOT an alpha numeric dropdown Room Search

12 NOT alpha numeric Hyphens graphically indicate org tree Scrolling through the list will work IF you know your org tree structure OR Select the field, and type all 4 characters of the org code – QUICKLY! The system will “find” the code. Hit the return key and the code will be selected. OR … Room Search

13 Use the type in field Multiple org codes separated with a comma Room Search 13 All KFS related data (in the system and reports) are fed nightly from KDW (Kuali Data Warehouse)

College of Ag & Life Sciences Ithaca College of Ag & Life Sciences Geneva College of Human Ecology College of Veterinary Medicine School of Industrial & Labor Relations General Services Endowed Endowed Weill Cornell Medical College Endowed New York City Tech Campus 14 SUNY requires the data that we submit to be aggregated by the designations above (we added the endowed designations for our reference). Since our translation program can no longer derive this information from an alpha or numeric character in the legacy department code we have to manually identify them from the new drop down. “CC/EN” field – identifies the funding source for the function/activity occupying that room, or portion of the room. Circumstances where this function/activity is funded by a Cornell account with a CC type (the account type found on SUNY financial statements and submitted to NYS) should have the appropriate “CC/EN” field selected. Carefully check your “CC/EN” field to make sure it converted properly. Make adjustments as necessary. This is a manually assigned field and is NOT directly tied to KFS accounts or orgs in any way. 3) New Field – CC/EN

15 Consolidated Subsidiaries CU Consolidated Financial Report Eliminations External Organizations Financial Statements Ithaca Medical College (Tech Campus future chart) Defaults to “IT” “Chart” – allows you to search on all the rooms in an entire chart that you have access to in security, this may return a number of rooms that can overwhelm the system buffers, use it cautiously. If you use the drop down or type in fields to select an org in conflict with the chart code you will return no search results The chart codes come directly from KDW, when the TC chart for the NYC Tech Campus is made it will appear in the drop down. 3) New Field – Chart

16 Room Search Results

17 Room Detail

18 Org Admins will see ALL the (D) & (S) org codes in KFS in the drop down, and assign them the same way department codes were assigned. 4)Space can only be assigned at the department (D) or section/sub section level (S) Room Detail

19 Department users will have the ability to change the department presence from the org they are assigned to and any of the orgs at or below that tree. Examples: A user assigned to a ‘D’ level org will be able to assign space to that org and any of the sections below that org. If the user is assigned to an ‘S’ level org and there are sub sections below that they can assign space to the sub sections but not to the ‘D’ level above them Keep space for one organization assigned all at the same level. If space for a single unit is assigned at both the ‘D’ and ‘S’ level there is an opportunity that searches will not return complete data or will return too much data. It is the Org Admin’s responsibility to make sure that their space is assigned at the correct level. 5)Department users can now change an org to any department or section within their security domain.

21 Room Notes

22 Bulk Edit

23 Reminder: Bulk edit is designed to ADD things or change the org status to the room detail page. if you want to bulk edit an item you have to search on it. The “Chart” code will return in your search criteria. Bulk Edit

24 6A) New Error – CC/EN reminder New error message for two conditions: If you add a new org (org admins only) Change an existing org You will get the following message: “Check CC/EN Field: If blank - pick Code, if changing ORG, confirm Code” To clear the error: If you are adding a new org, you have to fill in the blank “CC/EN” field and “Save Changes” (org admins only) If you are changing an existing org, visually confirm that the “CC/EN” field is correct or if not correct update the field and then “Save Changes” or navigational buttons

25 6B) New Error –KFS org and CC/EN field A conflict between the members in the KFS org tree and the “CC/EN” field can result in 2 different kinds of errors

26 New error message: If you mistakenly add or change an org code with the same “CC/EN” field in the same date range you will get the following error message: “{S} An ORG was used more than once on the same date, without Differing CC/EN Values” If there is an organized research function code in the original org you will see the traditional organized research hold error for missing research substantiation in the new org presence. This is because the system thinks that the new org presence is the SAME as the existing org. (Since this is an old message used in a new way it has both pink and green colors on it) 6B) New Error –KFS org and CC/EN field (continued)

27 6C) New Error – KFS org family relationship

28 If you add a new org that is a section within an existing department org you have an un- allowed parent/child relationship. The system sees these two orgs as the same. The error code below results: “{H} Orgs have Parent/Child Relationship” To clear the error: Change the org code you added to one outside the parent/child relationship Change the original org code to the same level as the one you’re adding Allowable combinations: 6C) New Error – KFS org family relationship (continued) D level S level outside the D level relationship S level S level in same D level family S level S level outside D level family This applies to all section and subsection levels REMEMBER: All of the space for a single org family should be assigned at the same level!! You won’t get an error message for this condition. Org Admins should be reviewing space for this condition and correcting as necessary.

29 6D) New Error – Orphaned research

30 If you have a room with existing research function (2.1 or 2.2) and appropriate substantiation, and then CHANGE the function coding away from organized research, when you save changes you will get a hold error reminding you to remove the orphaned research substantiation “:{H} Rooms with Research Substantiation and a PI as an Occupant-Type Must Have A Research Function.” VERY IMPORTANT The most efficient way to clear this error is to remove the PI (or change the occupant type) AND remove any manually entered research comment or account number. The next slide shows an example. Follow these steps to most efficiently clear the error: “:{H} Rooms with Research Substantiation and a PI as an Occupant-Type Must Have A Research Function.” When you return to room the error will be gone 6D) New Error – Orphaned research (continued)

31 6D) New Error – Orphaned research (sample)

32 7) Add Sponsored Research projects open

33 The “Show/Hide Accounts” defaults to collapsed instead of open to accommodate easier viewing 7) Add Sponsored Research projects collapsed

34 8) Browser issues Reported problems in FireFox – If you loose navigating functionality or if you see unusual errors messages they are likely to be the browser issues. So far reported to be issues in release and Close all but one window and try these things yourself before reporting a problem: 34
