Meridian - Release Notes September 2020


Instructions

Planning

  • A major redesign! Significant changes include:
    • A new user interface ("look and feel") for all activities within Planning
    • Planning Roster (now called the "List" page) now focuses your view on the positions with active planned changes (by default)
      • Enhanced sorting and filtering of this list
    • New Planning Detail page that removes the left column, relocates the center column to the header, and focus your attention on the planned changes (formerly the right column)
    • Dashboard and Plan Comments are now accessible from buttons in the header of the List page
    • Adding a New Hire planned change now takes fewer steps (no need to add a Planning Position first)
  • All data remains the same (both active and reconciled planned changes have been copied over)
  • A new button (in the List page's header) to view departmental summary reports in Tableau
  • All Planning users now have access to a new activity hub called Faculty Roster. This is where you can find your definitive faculty list, updated from HR daily.

See the Tip Sheet for a visual summary of the changes.


We'll be using our weekly Meridian Office Hours for a demo/preview of the changes, starting September 9th (and continuing through 9/23):
