October 2020: Mosaic Rapid Release
Goal: Track students’ country of residence during remote learning
What has changed?
Students can record where they are studying from around the world, including their province if they are in Canada.
This is a government compliant requirement, but the data will be very useful elsewhere in the McMaster community.
Goal: Allow students to include a custom cover sheet for their transcripts
What has changed?
A checkbox was added to the Request Transcript page so that students can indicate that they have uploaded a custom cover sheet to be sent with their transcript.
A simple change to a screen makes a big difference to the student experience!
Goal: Add A Field to a Search Page
What has changed?
Two pages, which are used tens of thousands of times each year, just became a whole lot more user-friendly! We added one additional search parameter, which is making a world of difference.
Another great suggestion from our community. We just could not wait to get this change to production!
Goal: Avoid errors in project chart strings when Billing
What has changed?
Additional warning messages have been put in place in Billing to prevent incomplete project chart strings
This enhancement will eliminate the need to manually correct unbalanced accounting entries between GL and PC from Billing.
Goal: HR Reporting Hub expansion – Oct 2020
What has changed?
The Reporting & Metrics team has completed updates to a report which has formerly been requested each quarter by the School of Graduate Studies.
The School of Graduate Studies is now able to access and run their report themselves, whenever needed.
Goal: HR Strategic Reporting Hub expansion – Oct 2020
What has changed?
Additional users have been provided with access to our new HR Strategic Reporting Hub. We are thrilled with how excited the community is with this rollout!
Expanded reporting is in the planning stages, so stay tuned!

Many of these changes are influenced through conversations with the McMaster community. If you have an idea of how we can enhance the user experience, please reach out to one of our Rapid Release Champions!
