Virtual - Grants Part 2: Grant reports in Cognos
Prerequisites

Tue 28 Nov - Wed 29 Nov 2023

Description

This course will concentrate on how to use the Cognos reporting tool to help manage departmental research grants. These reports can be divided into three main categories:

  • Summary financial information for Projects
  • Detailed expenditure analysis
  • Management reports for Grants due to close

In this course we will not access the Grants module in CUFS.

The course material will be split across 2 webinars on consecutive days

Target audience

Staff who manage departmental Grants.

Please Note: If you work in the ROO, this course only covers the reports that are available to grant administrators in the depts. It doesn't focus on the central reports that you will run as part of your role as this will be covered internally by the ROO. If you would just like to know how to use Cognos and create some shortcuts, personalised pages then refer to the Cognos Introduction course - available either as a taught or course .

Prerequisites

– Please complete at least three working days before the course starts.
