As shared in October , progress continues on the retirement of the legacy reporting systems tied to PeopleSoft HR and Finance, and will be complete at the end of calendar year 2021. In preparation for the shutdown, multiple activities have been completed or are ongoing to ensure that business and data analysts will have access to legacy data as needed. See the full post for more details and additional activity highlights.
Remaining activities for the university's Workday rollout include the retirement and shutdown of PeopleSoft data sources, BuckeyeOasis tools, and eReports and BuckIQ reporting services. Beginning November 1, access to these systems will be restricted to a small group of core users prior to system shutdown on December 31, 2021. Please review the full announcement for more detailed information on how to access common reports and historical data using new data tools.
The Data and Analytics team is offering one-hour Tableau hands-on help sessions. Initial sessions will be held weekly. The agenda for the sessions includes how to request appropriate access, walking through Tableau login steps, how to interact with data sources, how to use common reports, and how to save report filters. Time will also be allotted for an open question and answer period. See the full blog post for the MS Teams session link to join.
eActivity Awards reports are now available via Tableau Server. These reports cover award activity since Workday was implemented in January 2021. The Proposals and Expenditures components of eActivity will be available soon.

The Reports and Report Crosswalk job aid is now available in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC).
