2020-03-18 USAS New Issue Review and Prioritization

Prioritization Items to Discuss

  1. USASRFB-494  Performance issues with saving account filters.

    1. NWOCA: this is a problem when bringing on new districts as they are utilizing account filters more due to the fact that they don't have the same capability with ranges when generating reports

      1. META: agreed, account filters being used more heavily now

    2. Priority?  High

    3. Matt: we need to spec the issue to see what's involved in improving performance.  We'll see if we can include this on the roadmap in our performance improvements and possibly bump something with a lower priority.

      1. Ryan McClay recently found a database tuning parameter that improved the performance of generating a Budget Summary report from 45 minutes - 1 hour down to 4 minutes.  We will be testing the adjustment of this parameter to see if it also improves the account filter performance and re-evaluate this issue after improvements have been made.

  2. USASRFB-369  Ability to insert account filters.  Current work around is to add the new filter and then move it to it's correct place in the list. 

    1. NWOCA: not a huge priority since there is a work around.  Others agreed with Sara.

  3. Posting Receipts via spreadsheets

    1. The work to implement this will take 2 weeks.

    2. When is this needed?  Should be in place by the end of July so districts can use in August (back to school)

    3. META:  PO/Invoice could wait until 2021 roadmap, but are a priority for the second quarter/spring.  

      1. Invoice should be done before PO.  Districts will be happy knowing that it's scheduled and when it will be available.

      2. SWOCA: Invoices in January would be okay, POs being posted via third party vendors so not as big of a concern.

    4. ACCESS: what third party vendors are being used that require this functionality to post receipts?

      1. Third Party Vendor Software Integrations - unsure

    5. @Former user (Deleted)  to reach out to MVECA & LACA as they were interested in the ability to post via spreadsheets but unavailable for today's meeting.  Find out what third party vendors their districts are using that require this functionality to be in place.

      1. SSDT to present a proposal to complete the work on the next call



Items from the floor?  None.
