AURA Grants Users –
Please be advised that AURA Grants will be taken offline for a system enhancement Thursday – 12/22/2016 between 6:00 – 9:00PM. The system will be unavailable during this time.
Including a high-level summary of the updated User Interface (UI) changes:
-
Visibility of Activity Buttons throughout the system
- Add, Update, Delete, Select, Back, Continue, Clear
- View 15.0 Budget Periods
-
Budget Grids
- Validation Errors relaxed to occur on a new line item add, instead of when moving between required fields
- Description Field no longer red asterisk required for all budget cost types
- All Cost Types now default with both 1) Apply Inflation and 2) Apply F&A boxes checked – for consistency
- Unit Cost defaults to $1 for Patient Care and General Cost sections
-
Multiple Cost Type options consolidated, where possible
- Personnel Costs (Post-Doctoral)
- General Costs (Fees, Participant Support, Student Aid)
-
Grey shading and yellow highlighting replaced to provide better color contrast
- Budget Summary table
- Double Scroll Bars have been reduced, where possible
- The specific budget field(s) you select now automatically expand to show you all options available
Please let me know if you have any questions, and as always – if you have any system issues please email us @ AURA-Help@uchicago.edu.
