Alliance Conference 2007 Wrap-Up

We had a great time this week at the Alliance Conference this week. I presented "Advanced PeopleTools Tips and Techniques" (session 23422) and Larry presented "Advanced Reporting Techniques for PeopleSoft Enterprise" (session 23743). We both had several hundred people attend, which is quite nice. There were lots of great questions as well. I have a few blog posts that I was already working on during the flight home based on a few of them.

Big thanks go out to Tina Thorstenson from Arizona State University for asking us to come present and to Jeff Robbins and Dave Bain from Oracle for being our co-presenters. If you enjoyed the sessions, be sure to fill out the online evaluation forms.

Here are the code snippets for the PeopleTools presentation.
Because the code snippets for the Reporting Presentation are Environment-dependent, the links to download the code snippets are in the PowerPoint presentation.

Financials Objects for Drilling Demos

Although I put together a previous posting on Drilling and nVision, I only included a single nVision drill layout to illustrate this. I already put together comprehensive packages to show:

Code for Financials Drilling to Pages and Queries (among other things).

I decided to put together a package for Reporting in Financials (Orig Posting and Code). As with the other packages, the code includes a working example with our nVision drilling product.

Query and nVision Reporting in Student Admin

In preparation for the Alliance Conference this week, I had taken some information kindly shared by our latest customer, Catholic University of America, and put together a set of queries and nVision reports against the Student Admin system.

The approach was similar to what was shown in the following blog entry.

Demo
Here is where you can watch it in Action.

nVision Content
On the nVision side, it shows a Statement on Student Financials, breaking out the different cost and revenue items into categories across different terms. It also has drills into classes, institutions and grades.

Query Content
On the PS/Query side, it contains a prompted query that shows the detailed transactions in student records.

Drilling Content
It also includes a sample query and sample nVision report with hyperlinks in them to drill to pages (they will need to be modified to have your own server information in the URL to make work in your environment.

Streamlined Navigation
It also shows how one of our products, the nVision Drilling Add-in will streamline the navigation from reports into other content without having to modify the reports. The package below includes a trial version of it that expires at the end of June 2007 for those who would like to try it out.

Download of Objects
Here is where you can download the queries, trees, and report definitions.
