Instructions

1. Navigate to Workforce Administration > UW External HR Systems > Compensation Admin Tool > CAT Reports > Missing From CAT Report

2. Click Search under the Find an Existing Value tab to select a previously created Run Control ID, or create a new Run Control ID by selecting Add a New Value.  To create a Run Control ID, assign a unique identifier as the Run Control ID (eg. initials_date_etc.) into the Run Control ID box and select Add.

   • NOTE:  The Run Control ID sets the report parameters.  Users can create one ID and use it to run multiple processes and reports, or create a new ID for each process or report.
     

   

3. Enter parameters to define the criteria for the Missing From CAT Report.

   1. Select the upcoming Fiscal Year used for CAT budget planning purposes.  This field will default to the latest Fiscal Year setup in the CAT.

   2. Select a Business Unit

   3. If desired, select a Division

   4. If desired, select a Department

      • If available, the Department field will become editable when the user selects a Division from the search tool or enters one manually and presses the tab button
        

   5. Click Select Values in the Employee Class box if you wish to exclude certain Employee Classes from the report.  The default is for all Employee Classes to be included.  Employee Classes that are not included in the CAT will not pull onto CAT reports.

   6. Click Save in the bottom left to save the parameters for the report.

   7. Click Run in the top right to run the report.

   

4. User will be automatically directed to the Process Scheduler Request page.  Form this page, select OK.

   

5. Note the Process Instance number under the Process Monitor link.  This designates the specific instance of the report run.

   

6. Click Process Monitor at the top right of the window.  Search for your Process Instance number under the Process List, which will indicate the status of the report generation.  When the report is complete, the Run Status will be "Success" and the Distribution Status will be "Posted."

   1. If Run Status is "Queued," it indicates that the report generation is waiting to start.

   2. If Run Status is "Blocked," it indicates that another process or report is being run.  Do not resubmit your report.  It will be queued as soon as the other process or report has completed.

   3. If Run Status is "Processing," it indicates that the report is being generated.

   4. Click Refresh at the top right of the window to refresh the status of the document.

   
   

7. Once the Run Status is equal to "Success" and the Distribution Status is equal to "Posted," download the output.

   1. Click Details

   2. Click View Log/Trace at the bottom right of the window.
      

      

   3. Under File List, click the file with the .xls extension to download the output.  Note:  You may have two .xls outputs if you have additional splits.

      

   4. When opening the file in Excel, if an error message appears indicating that "the file you are trying to open....is in a different format than specified by the file extension," click Yes.

      

   5. Note that different internet browsers may have different opening processes.
