What Is the Difference Between Old Webfocus and the New Webfocus Dashboard

What is the difference between Old WebFOCUS and the New WebFOCUS Dashboard?

On the Gateway Portal, there are links to two different WebFOCUS systems. What’s the difference?

When Saint Louis University implemented the New WebFOCUS Dashboard, the project did not have enough resources to migrate all of the reports from Old WebFOCUS to the New WebFOCUS Dashboard.

All new WebFOCUS report development is done in the New WebFOCUS Dashboard. Reports in the New WebFOCUS Dashboard access the Operational Data Store (ODS) and Banner tables directly.

Clicking on the New WebFOCUS Dashboard link yields the following login screen: For new user access requests to the New WebFOCUS Dashboard, follow the links on the left of the main BIC home page.

What is left in the Old WebFOCUS system?  Month end Statement of Account and Report of Transactions  Labor Distribution Reports  UMG Category and Responsibility Reports  Ability to run a listing of year-to-date transactions  Tracking of documents by reference number

Old WebFOCUS reports do not access the ODS (Operational Data Store) or Banner tables directly. Instead, an export of Banner data is loaded into the Old WebFOCUS system.

Clicking on the Old WebFOCUS link yields the following login screen: For new user access requests to the Old WebFOCUS system, go to the Business and Finance Website, http://www.slu.edu/services/busfin/ and click on Forms to access the Banner Finance Access Request Form.

When will the reports from Old WebFOCUS be migrated over to the New WebFOCUS Dashboard? A project request has been submitted to the ITS Project Database. This project will be prioritized along with the other projects in the database and done accordingly.

All WebFOCUS documentation on this website pertains to the New WebFOCUS Dashboard.
