6/29/2023:

Features:

  • Expenditures and Proposals dashboard to production 

    • For proposals, Currently, we only have schoolbannercode and departmentbannercode and are still awaiting the AM# addition to proposal dataset. Therefore, currently, we are doing the data load based on schoolbannercode and departmentbannercode.

    • For expenditures, we don’t have sponsor type and originating sponsor type included on the dashboard since there are data mismatches in the award number between awards and expenditures dataset which will drop records. We will highlight the differences by next week and we can make a decision how to resolve the mismatch. Based on that, we will update the expenditures dashboard in next iteration.
