Good Afternoon and Happy Friday!
Equipster Issues - UPDATE!
Regarding last week's email Equipster is still having Data load issues. You may have
noticed an increase in assets on your homepage this week. In helping HUIT research this
problem it appears that some of those new additions to the homepage are duplicates of
assets that have already assigned. I would ask that you do not assign any assets until
the issue is figured out.
December Meeting - UPDATE!
1) Particular problems regarding Equipster - HUIT has been emailed and I am awaiting
a response. The issues that were sent were:
a) Duplicate entries - not pattern varies possible clone issues
b) Disposed assets are Running physical inventory
c) Issues with Unassigned transactions report as a CSV.
d) Some of the other issues that were discussed had been previously sent to HUIT and
are being addressed.
2) What forms to use and when? OSP is still waiting to have the Equipment Policy
changes finalized. It needs to be approved by SALC (Sponsored Administration Leadership
Committee). I am told that some of the forms will be going away once SALC approves the
policy. As soon as I have confirmation I will let you know.
3) Inventory for 2013 - No further information at this time.
We have no meeting scheduled for February but I will be sending out information for a
March meeting in the next few weeks. If you have a new employee that needs training in
Equipster, please contact me directly and I can schedule a one on one.
If you have any questions or concerns on the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you and have a great weekend.
Best,
Kara
