October 2015 SAGE Maintenance Release

New Features, Changes and Bug Fixes

eGC1   

  • A new multi-select Country field has been added to the eGC1, to track where international work will be performed.  This field will be visible to users only when they answer “YES” to the question of whether work will be performed internationally.  This country-level data will be used in reporting and analytics.
  • The Sponsored Program Activity Type field on the eGC1 and FA was amended to allow users without a mouse to utilize the drop down control with keyboard alone. This change supports making the SAGE application more accessible.  The expand/collapse capability in the drop down is also removed, since this was causing some confusion with users.  The list of selectable options will be fully expanded, within their respective categories, making for a more intuitive user experience.
  • Bug Fix:  An issue that was causing eGC1 approval snapshots to not display attachments that had newer versions uploaded after the snapshot was taken has been fixed so that all point-in-time versions of attachments display in approval snapshots.

SAGE Reporting Update

The Subaward Status Report will be located in the BI Portal and will replace the existing static report found on the OSP website.  This version will be near real-time (data refreshed nightly), giving campus more timely information on the status of their pending subawards, and will alleviate the time consuming preparation done by OSP in posting the current static report.

Note: This report will be available in the days following the SAGE release.
