Smart View Update Information
On June 4th, MCIT pushed and upgraded Hyperion Smart View. This is a patch release intended to eliminate bugs, such as crashing when you try to set your options before making a connection.
If you have an MCIT machine, the upgrade should have installed overnight. If you turn off your machine or have a laptop, it should have installed when you started your machine this morning. If it did not, try running maintenance. If that does not work, log a ticket with MCIT and make sure they have Smart View as part of your core image.
If you have an MSIS or other machine, you will need to download the software and install it yourself. Use this link https://wiki.umms.med.umich.edu/x/K5gCBw to get the latest version and then accept all of the default options when installing it.
You should end up on version 11.1.2.2.310, as shown below. To check, go to the Smart View tab in Excel, click on the Help menu and choose “About(z)”.

Upcoming Projects in Financial Systems
EPSI Cost Accounting application – A server/database/application upgrade is scheduled to begin testing in July 2013, with a go-live goal of November 2013. We are currently working on the project plan and will keep you posted on how this will impact our users. This upgrade is necessary to make our EPSI applicationICD-10 compliant. We will also be providing a list of other enhancements that will occur with this upgrade.
Windows 7
We are keeping the latest news regarding the Windows 7 project on our website.
The UMHS Health System will be upgrading operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 7 by the end of the calendar year. With some investigation we have found that our version of Brio is not compatible with Windows 7.
UMHS Consolidated Project Update
In April, we started our Pilot Group for the UMHS Consolidated Project (Everest Replacement). We have received good feedback from the group and have subsequently made many improvements from the Pilot Group suggestions.
In conjunction, we have been piloting the UMHS Consolidated Financial Statement with Financial Reporting. In April, Financial Reporting distributed the UMHS Consolidated Reports in the April Financial Reporting package.
We are working on the Medical School Departmental Reports and our goal is to open these reports to all UMHS users for FY14 July Reporting.
Other UMHS Data Mart Updates
Please note when exporting Graphs/Charts from the UMhs Data Mart: When exporting Data Mart reports that contain charts (images) to excel, the chart will not show in excel due to a security policy that is applied on UMHS workstations.
