7:30 – 3:00 VISIBILITY

  • Here’s Christie’s list from yesterday
    • Had a remote object fault where a send failed – Channel.Connect.Failed error – this happens when trying to “Create a Funding Request”. So that error has re-occurred.
    • When changes are made in the “Financial Status” data (i.e. Enter and save comments in a line). The updated entries do not save. For instance, I save the comments, return to the line and the comments I saved are no longer there.
    • When modifying a “Funding Request” and selecting a funding request to modify, we should be able to select a funding request based on the FY, Description, Appropriation and Funding Request Type. (i.e. MIPR, FAD, EA) – we don’t need to know the creator or mailing address
    • When entering information in Tab 3 (Finance Data), we should not be forced to add contract information as we often times do not receive this information until later. We should have the ability to enter what we can.
    • On Tab 2 (Funding Request Details) we should not be forced to enter the Period of Performance or the Obligation Deadline date. We should have the flexibility to fill this information in at a later date as well. In other words, all dates should have the ability to be left blank – we should not be forced to enter something just for the sake of entering something. It is much easier to go back and update when you see a blank space, than when you just put in any date
    • The “Search” feature under Tab 3 (Finance Data) for the purpose of selecting a contract is not working and all of the contracts are not available to select. The contract options run to the end of the screen and you cannot scroll down to view the other contracts.
    • Many of the SOWs are very lengthy. Not sure what, if anything can be done about that.
    • When creating a Funding Request, you must select the project. However, once you are actually in the Funding request, it does not state anywhere, which project you have selected. Suggest displaying the name of the project and the FY
    • Has the classification tool been discussed? Much of the exec summary is marked (S) and normally any funding information in marked (TS).
