Web browser version releases between February 9 and March 9 of 2023 contained a glitch which prevented data from being pulled 'live' in reports in D&A (the progress indicator spins would spin forever).

For full functionality, launch Microsoft Edge and be prepared to enable Internet Explorer compatibility mode. If only scheduling reports then you may still use

Note that if you instead choose to toggle the "Open this page in Internet Explorer mode next time" option then be aware that after one month that setting will automatically become disabled.

For example, if your USF email address is rockythebull@usf.edu then simply type: rockythebull.

  8. Ensure the Authentication: field is still set to Windows AD.

Note

Please be advised of our weekly scheduled maintenance window:

  • Sundays: 6AM to Noon

During the weekly scheduled maintenance window, the system could be unavailable without notice for various amounts of time so use of the system would be at your own risk.

Also, be aware that for non-SIS reports various data refreshes occur during the following timeframes:

  • Weekdays: Noon to 1:30 PM (income-related data only)

  • Daily: 9:30PM to 7AM

  • Saturdays: 8AM to Noon (salaries data only)

We strongly advise against using non-SIS reports during the above timeframes as the data may be in the process of changing/updating. SIS reports obtain data directly from OASIS Banner and thus are not impacted by the data refresh timeframes above.
