September 2020: Mosaic Rapid Release
Goal: Enable HR to gain valuable insights into the source and types of pay errors requiring remediation steps
What has changed?
In support of changing business practices, we have provided Human Resources Services with the ability to track metrics for payroll error processing in a more granular fashion.
Understanding where and what kind of errors are occurring can aid Human Resources Services in improving training and documentation.
Goal: HR Reporting Hub expansion – September 2020
What has changed?
The Reporting & Metrics team has created an additional Position Management report to aid administrators in understanding and effectively managing their departmental positions: the Inactive Position Report.
This report has been added to the Position Management section of the HR Reporting Hub. Check it out!
Goal: HR Strategic Reporting Hub expansion – September 2020
What has changed?
Our recently launched HR Strategic Reporting Hub has been very well received! An additional section has been developed, and some new queries were added to existing sections.
More functionality has been added to the Navigation Collection, based on user feedback — we love receiving ideas from the community
Goal: Portal updates – September 2020
What has changed?
The Interactive Guides tile on Support and Documentation was rendered obsolete by deployments of newer functionality and resources, and has been removed from Mosaic.
Part of improving the User Experience is to ensure that outdated Tiles or Links are removed as soon as they are identified to our team.
Goal: Fix the issue on Query Manager pertaining to Related Content
What has changed?
Users in Query Manager who noticed a need to Open/Close the Related Content pane in order to be able to type in the Search Field will be happy to hear that this Vendor issue has been resolved!
Bug Resolution is one of the many perks of doing a PeopleTools Upgrade!
Goal: PeopleTools Upgrade (PTools 8.58.4) for Campus Solutions
What has changed?
We upgraded our PeopleTools (the wrapper that we use to access Mosaic) to the latest offering from our software provider in our Mosaic Portal. Having all streams on the same PTools version is important in an interconnected ERP system.
This was our final ERP database to be upgraded to PeopleTools 8.58.4.
Goal: Provide a class roster in list format which includes student pictures
What has changed?
In order to facilitate online learning and exams, we created a new class roster format that incorporates student pictures right in the list so that instructors can see the whole class at once and validate that the correct student is writing an online exam.
Just one more step in making a better experience for online learners and instructors
