2 8.1 Report Listing There are several types of reports in the PeopleSoft system. nvision Reports: The more formal statements and some other reports come from software named nvision. PeopleSoft Reports: PeopleSoft has many delivered reports in the various modules of the software. Queries: Raw data can be pulled in a variety of forms and loaded into Microsoft Excel for further formatting and reporting nvision Reports This software is used for more formal reporting such as financial statements. Note that the nvision reports have two new features. They come out as Excel sheets that can be drilled down to get underlying detail. They can also be saved for future reference. Drill down works as long as the computer is connected to the network and can access PeopleSoft data.

10 8.2 Queries Queries are used to extract unique information from PeopleSoft data that can be printed, or exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis and manipulation. PeopleSoft uses a series of tables to store data and tie pieces of information together. For example, related to a journal, there is one table for the information contained on the Header tab and another for the detail in the Lines tab of a journal. They are named JRNL_HEADER and JRNL_LINE. Notice that the names are in upper case and do not contain any spaces. Of the hundreds of tables in PeopleSoft, there are only a certain number that would be commonly used by local councils in queries. Queries can be created for Private access by the creator use or for Public use by other users. Your system comes with several queries that are prepared for common usage. The will all begin with a name like BSA_LC_LEDGER_TOTAL that produces a simple listing of accounts with their balance YTD like the following: This can then be printed as it is, or downloaded to Excel for further use Query Listing Below is a listing of useful queries. The menu path to produce them is also included GL Queries Query Usage Options LC_TRIAL_BALANCE Used to pull data from a specific period and display beginning balance, debits, credits and end balance for each account chart string.

19 8.4 Using Scope with nvision Reports Scope allows the printing of nvision reports for specific project codes or for groups as defined on the Council Project Tree. Output may be in a combined or individual report format. Using Scope in Printing Certain Reports Scope is a method of "filtering" the data that is fed into a report. It allows a single nvision Report to be modified without using prompts in the report itself. Four specific reports are designed to use Scope: Project Management Report - summary format. Detailed Project Management - detailed format. Budget Analysis summary format. Budget Analysis detailed format. Scope allows these to then be filtered to specific projects in the following filter types: A single project (Runs one report per project) Projects in a list (Runs one report per project usually for temporary use) Projects in a group as defined by the Projects Tree Nodes o Allows running one report for each project in the selected tree node o Allows running one combined report for all the projects selected in the tree node HINT: It is important that if Tree Nodes are to be used from the Project Tree, they must be created prior to completing the Scope definition. If you subsequently remove a tree node that is saved in a Scope Definition, you will need to change or remove that Scope Definition. See the Tree Management information in Section

20 8.4.1 Defining Scope for a Group of Projects from the Project Tree (May print combined or individual reports.) This will likely be the most common usage of Scope. You can create Scope Definition that is named it such a way that you know it is from Projects Tree Node such as "Camps-All" or "Day- Camps" or Harry Brown for staff responsibility etc. Remember that Scope Definitions can easily be changed or deleted at any time. Likewise the detail of the Project Tree can be modified and thus change the values a Scope Definition will apply to reports. Create the Scope Definition ID. We will review here how to create a new Scope Definition using the Tree Nodes. With this option you can print the reports for each individual Project Code or you may select to print a combined report for all the Project Codes in the tree node(s) selected. Navigate using the breadcrumb string on the right and add a new value. Here we use the name Camps-All and will pick a tree node that includes all camping operations for the council. In this example, we use "Selected Tree Nodes" for a combined report. Next we will indicate the tree name where our grouping of projects is located. This will always be LXXX Projects (using your business unit) and should be available on the dropdown list. Then you will select from a drop-down list the Selected Value to use in this report. 8-20

21 8-21

22 8.4.2 Defining a Scope for Individual Reporting from Tree Nodes To create a Scope Definition for individual reports the create process is the same except for the variations highlighted below. Here we will use the Detail-Selected Parents specification which will then produce a single report for each of the projects found under the tree node. Again, remember to save your work. 8-22

23 8.4.3 Defining Scope for a Single Project or List of Projects (Prints individual Reports only) Follow the breadcrumb trail below and fill in the screen as in the sample. The name Any-Project could indicate a single project, or a list. NOTE: If you desire, you can create a Scope Definition for single projects that you use often such as "Camp-311" or "Camp-312" - (Ten characters allowed.) Fill in the next screen as below using Selected Detail Values and PROJECT_ID_VW as shown. 8-23

24 8.5 Printing an nvision Report using Scope Reminder: Scope is designed for the following reports: Project Management Report - summary format. Detailed Project Management - detailed format. Budget Analysis summary format. Budget Analysis detailed format. To print a report using Scope, navigate to "Define Report Request" and select the report: 8-24

25 Once you click on the link "Scope and Delivery Templates", you will see the following screen: There are two important fields here to manage: "Report Scope" - Use the drop-down list to select the desired Scope you have previously defined. Content Description Template should be changed from the default to %SFV% This will label the report for easy identification in the Report Manger. Run the report as normal. NOTE: If you save the Report Request ID with this Scope definition, it will be there for the next time you use that report request ID. Finding Reports on the Report Manager Combination reports will have the name of the tree node selected like this: Single reports will have the Project ID number like this: 8-25

26 Send Reports by Option: As with any nvision Report the report can be directly sent by from PeopleSoft to employees or key volunteers. Then click on Distribution 8-26

27 Then complete the following screen as needed. Now you may run the report by clicking on the final OK to send it to the server. Multiple reports will produce one for each report. They will be produced and distributed as an attached Excel file. 8-27
