Upcoming Reports Module Project Field Changes

In the next few weeks, we will be reorganizing the Reports > Project fields by tab, while also renaming the tabs for greater clarity and deleting unused and/or duplicate names. Important Note: If you have reports that use a duplicate report field name, you must edit your reports to use the correct field name before the end of the year, at which time duplicates will be permanently deleted.)  We will be making the following changes:

• Reorganizing by Tab: we are reorganizing the Reports > Project fields by tab to make it easier to find fields. This document (CosentialProjectModuleFields_ReportAvail09_10) shows all Project Module fields and notes their availability in the Reports Module.
• Renaming Fields: We are also renaming about two-thirds of the Reports > Project field names for greater consistency with the names displayed in the interface.  After the names are changed, saved reports will run as usual, they will simply display the new Reports > Project field names.   This document (CosentialProjectReportFields_All09_10) lists all Report > Project fields, indicating their current name and the new name (if applicable).
• Deleting Unused/Duplicate Fields: We will be deleting number of unused/duplicate fields after the first of the year.  Reports that currently use these “To Be Deleted” fields will not run as expected after the fields are deleted.  You’ll want to create reports using the correct field name before the end of the year.  This document (CosentialProjectReportFields_ToBeDeleted2010) lists all the Reports > Project field names which will be deleted.
