This article describes how to run the PID Research Dashboard in UCSDPLAN.
Prerequisites
- Only department budget preparers, budget approvers, and RCAM transactors/report viewers are provisioned in the UCSDPLAN Tool.
- Before trying to run reports in UCSDPLAN, be sure to confirm you can log-in by following the steps outlined in KB0033091: How to Login to UCSDPLAN.
Essential Information
- The PID Research Dashboard allows department budget preparers to locate the chart strings that a Position ID (PID) shows up under within an Actuals snapshot or Budget data.
- The PID Research Dashboard will display all Financial Unit, Fund, Function, Project (F-F-F-P) combinations and Employee details (Last Name, First Name, Employee ID) that a particular PID is associated with.
- The PID Research Dashboard also displays assumptions for Budgeted FTE % and Actual Pay Distribution % for an employee.
- The PID Research Dashboard features two views within the dashboard: one table for Staff positions and a second table for Faculty positions.
- When changing any POV selections within the dashboard, the user must click the Arrow icon to update the dashboard.
Next Steps
Start from the Home Page within UCSDPLAN
- Select the Dashboards tile.

- Under Library, navigate the list to locate the PID Research Dashboard, then click the hyperlink to load the form.

- In the PID Research Dashboard, update the Point of View (POV) by selecting the Scenario, Version, Years, and Position:

- To locate a chart string within the prior year Actuals snapshot:
- Set Scenario = Actuals
- Set Version = Final
- Set Years = prior year
- Set Position = desired Position ID
- Updated POV selections will render the chart strings that the PID came through in the latest Actuals snapshot.

- To locate a chart string within the planning year Budget data:
- Set Scenario = Base Budget
- Set Version = Working
- Set Years = planning year
- Set Position = desired Position ID
- Updated POV selections will render the chart strings that the PID was seeded against in the budget or against any new budget entries that were added.

- Once POV selections have been updated and highlighted in yellow, click the Arrow icon to save and continue, otherwise your selections will not be saved.
- The PID Research Dashboard displays with the following:
- One table for Staff positions and a second table for Faculty positions
- Employee details and Financial Unit, Fund, Function, Project (F-F-F-P) combinations by PID
- 1 column displays assumptions for Budgeted FTE %
