Release Highlights

  • Account maintenance and notes: General ledger (GL) accounts can now be cloned and edited, and users can manage account flags. GL and bank accounts support notes; notes associated with a flag appear alongside it. Users who can view an account can also view its notes. [8:04] [13:06] [33:01]
  • Audit trail: Account audit information spans multiple fiscal years and reflects changes made in FAMISweb and the green-screen system. The team said its aim is to capture more changes over time, though not every change currently appears there. [18:45] [19:07] [32:47]
  • Inbox: Searching through a large Inbox was more responsive in the demonstration, and users can select documents for bulk approval. Further filtering and customization improvements are planned for a later release. [20:25] [21:54] [22:25]
  • Asset management: Asset search and maintenance continue to be improved, with additional capabilities for departmental users and property staff in development. A focused asset-management town hall was announced. [28:06] [30:00]
    • Asset Management for Departmental Users: FAMISweb Targeted Town Hall:

Questions and Answers

  • Will every change appear in the audit information? The team is working toward broader coverage, but not all changes currently use the audit log. [32:47]
  • Who can see account notes? Anyone who can view the account can see its notes. [33:01]
  • When will asset maintenance default to fiscal year 2027? The year will open after the prior year is closed, with availability expected in the next week or two. [33:30]
  • Can a submitted Transfer Departmental Property (TDP) be recalled for corrections? There is currently no change to the existing process. [33:51]
  • Can users create bulk TDPs for multiple departments? Not currently; transfers across 30 subdepartments would still require 30 TDPs because routing is tied to the document header. [39:42]
  • Is bulk asset processing available? Up to 30 assets can be processed from a TDP, and work to expand that limit has been done. [36:13]
  • Will a surplus door scanner trigger a TDP review? This is not yet on the roadmap and could be considered as work on the Radiant integration continues. [37:24]

Looking Ahead

  • Subsidiary ledger (SL) and support account (SA) flag maintenance and notes were planned for a future release, with timing anticipated around mid-December. [18:12]
  • Inbox filtering enhancements were also planned for December. [22:25]
  • The remaining budget module screens were expected in December, with the goal of supporting the next budget cycle. [31:51]
