Summary of changes

• Job code added to the personnel table
• When adding a new job, the user is now prompted to add the job code, which automatically fills in the job title and the fringe rate
• Added ability to create a new appropriation or cost center when adding a new job, non-personnel, or overtime row
• Fixed a minor bug with the filter appearances
• Fixed the bug blocking the Excel download even after going below the target
• Edited the Excel processing to make sure it correctly reads and writes the supplemental initiatives
• Updated the text on the landing page

Questions

• Is employee type unique for each job code? Is it different from step/merit group? Basically, I'm trying to figure out whether I need to ask for employee type when adding a new job or if I can fill that in automatically
• When entering new job, should we let them enter salary or automatically enter from the center of the Gold Book range?
• Should we allow revenue for new initiatives? (There's no column on the DS for this).
• Do you anticipate keeping the 'position status' column on the personnel tab of the detail sheet? If so, how would you interpret 'vacant' or 'filled' for a row with FTE > 1?

Remaining tasks (in order of priority)

1. Fixing any issues that you find while testing (Beta testing #83 )
2. Working on the instructions (Instructions and video #62 )
3. Adding validation for all the numeric/cost inputs to make sure nobody can add letters/characters to a cost input. (Add number validation for all cost inputs #52 )
4. More testing, especially with larger departments (Beta testing #83)

5. Improving the formatting of the downloaded Excel to make it more readable and similar to the original DS (Improve Excel sheet formatting to make it more readable #32 )
6. Adding a column to the data to indicate which rows have been edited (edit column on download -- show which rows were edited #89 Highlight newly added rows + reset filters #102)
7. Creating a lookup dialog so that the user can find the job code from typing the job title (create job title lookup for job code #88)
