Forthcoming course (via Teams)
This course is the basis for GL and Grants reporting and introduces the functionality of Cognos 11. It is a practical course, with demonstrations of tips and shortcuts. You will need to ensure you have Cognos access setup before the course. This is obtained via your
Key Contact. NB. The objective is to facilitate using Cognos. Report outputs are covered in detail in the GL or Grants reporting courses.
Generate and discuss the standard reports in both Cognos (Session 1) and CUFS (Session 2) that are most commonly used for monitoring department finances. Common issues and watch points are covered as well. You need to have completed the Intro to Cognos course (and therefore have Cognos access), as well as GL1. If you missed either of the required pre courses, the links to the self-study courses are given below:
