There are a large number of tools available for pulling metrics and financial reports at University of Washington depending on your role and data needs. The data source determines what can be provided and how the user access is managed.
Workday Finance
Back to TopThis system was launched in July 2023 to replace the 40+ year old FIN system and associated shadow systems. It is an accounting system with robust data sets and reporting. Security roles drive access to particular data sets and data fields available to a user. Workday Finance and Workday HR/Payroll have a hard separation at the database level to protect confidential HR data so combining these data sets in Workday reports is limited. For that reason, the BI Portal can be the better source of data from both sources. Contact Josh Eikren (jeikren@uw.edu) for authorized access.
BI Portal – UW Business Intelligence Portal
Back to TopThis is a one-stop catalog that connects you to the UW's Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) central reports, dashboards (including dashboards previously housed in UW Profiles) and data cubes. Data is pulled from multiple platforms and combined to support the business needs of staff and faculty. Contact your administrator for authorized access. If you are an administrator and need access, contact Debbie Olson (dolson@uw.edu) for authorized access.
Award Portal
Back to TopThis is a tool managed by Grant & Contract Accounting (GCA) that is both a ticketing system and provides up-to-date post-award financial information for sponsored programs and a ticketing system for questions or requested actions. There are two sources of data using the tabs in the top right corner. The Home tab will allow searching by item number. The CC Reports tab allows search by cost center(s) or balancing unit. Additionally, you can create a ticket or read previous tickets for a given record. The system maintains the ticket history for each award which allows anyone to view the Q&A over time. Anyone with an active UW NetId can access the system.
