If the user opened the item before you exited, they will need to close out and then re-open to switch from read-only access to read-write. If you had not properly exited the item by either using “Save & Close” or “Back to Spaerc Tasklist”, you can re-open the item, and exit properly to clear your hold on it. Then the user should re-open it.
Send an email to osptech@uw.edu; if necessary, they will consult with ORIS. However, if the system is down or you are receiving a 99 error, call the ORIS Support Desk directly at (206) 685-8335 and leave a voice mail. The desk is staffed Monday through Friday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM.
All Admin Actions have the same choices for attachment types, so changing from one AA type to another should not be a problem. If you’re changing an Admin Action into a Funding Action, the only attachment type in common is Internal (UW) Document. See the Common AA Fields section of the User Guide for more information.
After you make changes to your Tasklist Options, click Update View to see the results of those changes. This changed view is temporary and will be used only until you log out of SPAERC or close your browser window.
If you want to save a particular view of a tasklist as its standard one, click the Actions button, and then select Save Tasklist Settings.
Try opening the Tasklist Options and clicking Clear Sorting to clear any existing sort order, then click the column you want to sort on. Sorting is cumulative in SPAERC, which means that if you click a second column without clearing the existing sort order, items will be sorted by the first column and then the second column.
Note: You can also sort items in your tasklist by using the Initial Sorting for Items section of the Tasklist Options, then updating the view.
