I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Provide SLN availability within Term Resource

    We do a few things based on SLN, and if you query section info too soon the SLN's are 0000.

    What I'm doing now is making sure I don't query courses based on the relevant terms "registrationservicesstart" via the Term resource, which is more than a month after SNL availability noted here http://depts.washington.edu/registra/staffFaculty/calendars/tscal1011.php. This solution is a little hacky and I would love something more integrated.

    We will talk to the data owners to figure out if/when this info is available.

  2. Searches don't work in R25?

    Nearly all of the possible ways to search or filter the data returned by the r25 web service don't seem to work.
    For example, example 6 from http://knowledge25.collegenet.com/display/WSW/spaces.xml
    would be:
    http://r25web.admin.washington.edu/r25ws/servlet/wrd/run/spaces.xml?range_start=N&range_end=P

    But all I get back is "The custom error module does not recognize this error."

  3. modifications to Section resource

    The Groups Web Service provisioner could source its data from SWS if:
    o The section search resource accepted a timestamp, and returned only those sections which had been modified since that timestamp
    o The section resource returned a system timestamp
    o The registration resource optionally returned StudentNbr or UWNetId instead of RegId

  4. Handle changed RegID

    Occasionally student records are assigned new RegIDs. The system is aware of these records because when you search the old RegID in the SWS person resource a link to the person record using the new RegID is provided.

    Suggest either

    1. Have resources like registration, enrollment support the old RegID.

    2. Have the empty response representation include the fact that the queried RegID has a replacement value.

  5. student financial need info

    Any time a student applies for a scholarship or fellowship, their financial need must be determined. I'd like to see column uwneed in table sfevaluation, database UWSDB, exposed to web services.

  6. Add financial transaction data to FWS

    This would save us from having to manually download expenditure transactions from MyFinancial.Desktop.

    Perhaps this effort could also expose other MyFD functions under web services, such as reconciliation.

  7. Alert Campus Administrators and Fiscal Specialists or individuals affected to end of appointment date ahead of time

    Campus does not have a way to tell end of appointment dates until UW Payroll runs a report for them. While that works well for intra dependecies, it does not work well for interdependecies of systems.
    HEEPS shows Active record yet PWS appointment information shows expired appointment.

  8. Make a way to see all courses that meet at a particular day and time.

    Currently the registration page sorts course offerings by department. Sometimes people are looking for a course to fill a particular time slot. If you had some way to display this information, either as lists or by searching, it would help people find courses that worked with their existing schedules.

  9. Lookup Degrees Earned by Student

    We could use a service that would allow us to query by student and get a list of the degrees that student has earned from the UW. The representation would include Major, Program, and Degree and a date (possibly just year and quarter).

  15. Provide central place to host resource scheduling information

    Expand the current function of r25 (or like service) to not only be able to host classroom data, but any available space on campus. Provide a Web Service so that current space seeking apps could hook into it. Also have a interface that building coordinators could access that eliminates the need for every building to have a separate booking app.

  16. Add salary benefit load rates to the Financial Web Service

    At least a couple of UW systems require programmatic access to official UW benefit load rates. These rates are set annually by Management Accounting & Analysis and posted online for people to view and stored in the Financial Accounting System (FAS). If these rates were made available via FWS then UW systems could find the rates using a Web service instead of either copying the data locally or directly accessing a UW enterprise database.

  17. Improve the navigability of new resources

    There are two new person-specific resources in v5 of the SWS - the financial resource and the notice resource. It would help our support and testing staff if it were possible to browse to those resources, instead of needing to construct the urls by hand.

    There are quite a few places in the SWS where there are links to resources that are protected - test scores, enrollment searches, and the grade roster, for instance.

    It might also be helpful to include links to the current, next and previous terms on the index resource. On browsers where I don't have those…

  18. Enrollment resource return links for future quarter

    The enrollment search appears to be NOT returning links for the future quarters in which a student is enrolled. Is that by design?
