ERAF 10/19/2018: NSF Corrects Display of UNKNOWN and 1900 in High Degree Information on Cover Page

On October 20th, NSF will correct the display of UNKNOWN and 1900 in the high degree information that is currently displayed incorrectly on the Cover Page within FastLane.  

However, NSF has changed how it will display the High Degree field.  It will truncate that field at 6 characters.  As a result, any High Degree greater than 6 characters; e.g.,  Doctor of Philosophy, will display only the first 6 characters; e.g.,  Doctor.  In these cases, the complete high degree name is stored as Doctor of Philosophy.   We are working with NSF to resolve this issue.

ERAF 10/19/2018: Replacement of the Manager Budgetary Balance Report

The Manager Budgetary Balance Report (MBBR) is scheduled to be decommissioned on November 1st.

The Manager Budgetary Balance is the name of the MBBR’s replacement report; the new report name does not include ‘Report’.

Since this is a new report any saved filters on your MBBR will not be carried over to the new report; i.e., you will need to rebuild your filters in the new report.  We recommend taking a screenshot of any filters to assist with rebuilding the filters in the new report.
