SUBJECT: WEBFOCUS FAMIS MANAGED REPORTING FOR ELIGIBILITY SPECIALIST SUPERVISORS

DISCUSSION:

In response to requests from field staff, effective for reports run on or after May 27, 2008, formatting changes are made in FAMIS Managed Reporting for Eligibility Specialist Supervisors. The data and the details on the reports remain the same, but the method by which they are accessed is changed. These changes were made to speed up reports in Managed Reporting and to allow ES supervisors to request reports and retrieve the results later.

Those changes include:

Instructions for running a deferred receipt report are available here.

Report Display Changes

Most reports are now available in both PDF and Excel. All data on the report is collected and displayed at once on the newly formatted reports.
