• Added functionality that will allow Course Admins to register participants for their instance even if it will result in exceeding the Max Seat count for the instance. With this option, admins can more effectively control adding participants from the waitlist, and avoid seat limit errors during imports.
  • For more information, please see Overriding the Seat Count
• Added the ability to email assigned users from the Compliance Report – similar to emailing from an instance roster, but for Compliance Admins
  • Emailing from the Compliance Report
• Youth Activity Highlights
  • Youth Admins now have access to the Participant Management page, which can be used to look up/manage participant registrations.
  • Youth Activity Admins now have better tracking options for associating applications to activity registrations and have the option to add application fees. Contact REPORTER_Support@ncsu.edu to set up an application. 
  • Addition of automated form reminders and enhanced tracking for quickly identifying missing forms.
  • Enrollment restrictions are now enforced for those wishing to add themselves to a Youth Activity Waitlist.

Registration and Management Changes around Inactive Unity Accounts

We have refined the Active/Inactive status fields on accounts to provide further flexibility to administrative users, improve data management processes, implement workflow restrictions, and generally improve the ability to select accounts as the database of separated users grows. Numerous reports and pages in REPORTER have been updated with related search options, and workflows have also been updated to take the general “Active” status into consideration before initiating new records such as creating active registrations and assignments. Additional details are available here.

Employee Data Management 

When an employee leaves the University, their job data remains, including their most recent supervisor. In some cases, this is helpful and necessary for managing temporary employees and helps to avoid continuity issues for employees changing jobs, however, it has also led to a lot of confusion.

In order to assist with data and compliance management, we are now clearing the “Reports to” value in REPORTER for employees with job data that has not been updated, nor active in over 365 days. Supervisors retain the ability to see and manage separated employees for up to a year after they have left the university. The development update provides a way to dissolve the association between outdated employee records and the supervisor.

Based on their knowledge of whether the employee has a temporary appointment, is changing positions, or is fully leaving the University, supervisors should review and update the required training records as described here.  When an employee changes positions or leaves the University, their supervisor should log into REPORTER, and use their My Team page to review the employee’s training assignments and unassign as appropriate
