Operational Guideline for Posting Query Objects in CoM's Special Newsbox folders

With permission of their unit's administration, authorized Query Studio users may have their query objects saved in a public location so that people who have access to the HSC's Special Newsboxes in Enterprise Reporting can use them.

1. Save the query object in: Public Folders > Special Newsboxes > Query Studio Users > Temporary Query Objects
2. Send a message to the IT Center's team e-mail address (ITCIM-L@LISTS.UFL.EDU) asking us to:

Please move:

XYZ-Name-Of-Query

From:

Public Folders > Special Newsboxes > Query Studio Users > Temporary Query Objects

To:

(as an example...) Public Folders > Special Newsboxes > Health Science Center > 29000000 - College of Medicine > 29140000 - COM, Dept of Surgery.

3. A member of the IT Center's Information Management team will move the object and will confirm the action by replying to the request message.

Text similar to the following will be added to whatever descriptive information is already associated with the object being moved.

Last date actually modified: Month Day, Year. Contact for this product is Person's full name (e-mail address).

If someone else is to be cited as the primary contact, please include that information in the e-mailed move request and they will be appropriately cited.

UF_ER_SPECIAL_NEWSB_HCSC security role

On June 28, 2007, capabilities of the UF_ER_SPECIAL_NEWSB_HCSC and UF_ER_SPECIAL_NEWSBOX security roles were changed to better protect the integrity of reports published in the HSC's Special Newsboxes.

The UF_ER_SPECIAL_NEWSBOX role is no longer associated with the Health Science Center's Special Newsbox folders.

Everyone who has the UF_ER_USER and UF_ER_SPECIAL_NEWSB_HCSC security roles should be able to access Enterprise Reporting objects located in HSC Special Newsboxes. Individuals are still able to view and save results to their computers and may continue to save report views in their own "My Folders" area.

As a reminder, the ability to actually use specific reports is dependent on other security roles. As an example, a report designed to use security role information may only be used by people who have been authorized to serve as Departmental Security Admnistrators.

Query Studio users working on behalf of their college or department may continue to save work in Query Studio Users' Special Newsbox folders (Public Folders > Special Newsboxes > Query Studio Users). In response to requests sent to the appropriate representative, HSC Special Newsbox administrators can copy the saved query product to the desired HSC Special Newsbox folder, and can delete them whenever that becomes appropriate.

Questions about the UF_ER_SPECIAL_NEWSB_HCSC role or the June 2007 changes may be directed to ITCIM-L@LISTS.UFL.EDU.
