I have an entry from 2021 that was included as part of my faculty report generated for the 2023-2024 reporting period. Why was this entry included?
When generating faculty reports for the 2023-2024 reporting period, make sure that objects in your profile (publications, grants, professional activities, and teaching activities) have the correct start and finish reporting date(s) entered.
The system automatically populates the date(s), but if it is not correct this could cause your reports to be inaccurate. This is why an entry such as a journal article or grant from 2021 may show up in the report that you have entered a date range of 2023-2024.
To change the reporting date for an object, take the following steps:
- Locate a record that you wish to include or exclude from your report.
Note: You can change reporting dates for publications, grants, professional activities, and teaching activities.
- Locate Reporting dates: - to -, then select the Cycle Icon to adjust a reporting date for a record
- Select the option to Manually manage dates.
- Select the field for start and end reporting dates. For each report date range field, select a month, year, and day from the calendar pop-up window.
- Once adjusted, Select Save. The record will be updated with those reporting dates.
