Requirements
This final piece of the larger project allows Academic Affairs to obtain accurate course-related costs, and make budget decisions with the college deans. This means that this project request is cross-divisional and impacts Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and IRES.

Currently, any department offering a combined section that has AWTU associated with it, has to remember to modify their AWTU description in order to trigger the association between the AWTU and the cost of instruction for the courses themselves. The modification includes the “#” symbol, which triggers a hard-coded programming effort in Cognos budget reports. Any other type of AWTU that inadvertently has this hashtag symbol included in its description may trigger a budget association that is inappropriate.

Change Impact

How will you measure the impact of this project?
What are some metrics or KPIs that will be used to measure success? Think about the five metrics to measure: quality, quantity, timeliness, cost, and customer satisfaction.
Reduction in time spent on the manual work-around; supporting the hard coding that needed to be completed in COGNOS to facilitate the work-around. Reduced need to audit the COGNOS reports.

As many as 50 departments, twice a year, have to remember to employ this workaround. And APSS, twice a year during the workload cycle of approximately 3 months, has to audit AWTU entries to ensure that everyone that should be using the hashtag, is, and that everyone else using the hashtag cleans up their data. It depends on the number of combined sections that qualify for additional assigned pay, and varies by semester. It could potentially be 2 hours per department per year, plus, say, 20 hours per year of Jennifer's time.
What are the consequences of not doing this project?
For example: direct significant negative consequences to the University, unable to conduct basic services; failure to resolve customer complaints or requests; loss of opportunity for improved service delivery or efficiency. Please explain.
Inaccurate course processing and budgeting.

Description

For reporting in Cognos, the modification to the Assign Type Reason page (Instructor Term Workload) is not pulling Combined Sections into the Related Class drop-down menu (only individual sections that have a Class Nbr from the main page). I would like an additional modification to the code that pulls Class Nbr OR Comb Sects ID (if no Class Nbr). The Value I would like returned and displayed on the Related Class drop-down menu would be the LEAD class as described in the Combined Sections Table, Short Description. This is the last PeopleSoft enhancement needed related to the previous project (#386644) from 2021.
