Overview:
Common definitions of key data are needed at each level of the University, especially when reporting to the central area. This will allow a common language to be used for both internal and external reporting and query needs.
Scope:Identify current and desired reporting components needed on a University-wide level. Develop a common reporting definition for each data term.
Areas to be explored first include financial data and HR terms. An example is a new Benefits Eligible flag, which will be set if an employee meets the criteria for eligibility. This will allow a report writer to use the flag as part of the report's selection criteria, instead of adding logic to determine eligibility.
