FAMISweb includes reference and lookup tools that help users confirm dictionary values, locate report details and verify vendor availability without leaving the application.
Access to each resource depends on the user’s FAMISweb security permissions. Questions about your access? Find and contact your security administrator.
Dictionary Values
Use the Dictionary values page (Configuration > Miscellaneous > Dictionary values) to look up FAMIS dictionary fields, codes and descriptions by campus. Use this page to confirm code meanings, review valid field values and compare campus-specific values.
To search, select the applicable Campus, then click View fields. The results grid displays the Campus, Field name, Code, Description and In web dictionary status. The Total items count shows how many values were returned for the selected campus and field.
Pro tips:
- Use ** for all campuses / members; use 00 for the Master Campus.
- Use the sort (
) and filter ( 
) icons in the header row to further refine your search. - Click Download view to export the results currently shown in the grid.
Report Definitions
Use the Report definitions page (Configuration > Report imaging > Report definitions) to locate reports and review report distribution information.
This page helps you identify report distribution groups, hierarchy codes, recipients and copy request status. You can also search by recipient information to find reports associated with a department, reporting group or individual.
Search by report details, recipient information or copy request status:
- Report ID or Report name
- Group code or Hierarchy code
- Recipient ID or Recipient name
- Has copy request
Vendor Attributes
Use the Vendor attributes page (Payables > Vendors > Vendor attributes) to identify where a Master Vendor has been copied. When viewing a Master Vendor, the Campus copied field displays the campus codes associated with that vendor.
Finding a Master Vendor
Search by vendor name, FAMIS Vendor ID, AggieBuy Number or Tax ID. Use the Local/master option to locate the appropriate vendor record, then select the vendor from the search results.
Reviewing Campus Codes
After opening the vendor record, review the Campus copied field in the vendor summary section.
- If the campus code is listed, the vendor is already available for that campus.
- If the campus code is not listed, you may still need to copy the vendor before you can use it.
What to Look For
- Master vendor confirms you are viewing the correct vendor record.
- Campus copied lists the campus codes where the vendor has been copied.
- Status information displays important vendor status details.
