Running the "Reports To" Report in HRS
Overview
Four Workflow Exception Dashboard (WED) error reports were created to identify specific scenarios where the Reports To field requires review and correction. This procedure document provides instructions for clearing "Reports To" errors identified on the WED reports.Process Considerations:
- The Workflow Exception Dashboard (WED) is available for credentialed users ONLY and are based on current security roles. Reports will be viewable only if the user has the security access to fix the reported issues.
- The primary correction method for all four reports includes entering the Position Number for the appropriate active supervisor in the Reports To field on the employee's Position.
- When saving the change, Job Data will be updated with the new "Reports To" value for all employees assigned to the Position.
- A manual refresh in Job Data may be required.
- For any transactions on Position Data or Job Data pages requiring correction mode, contact your Affinity Group.
- The Service Center can process mass job updates for the Reports To field when there are 100+ entries to be made. To request this, contact your Affinity Group and include the criteria that defines the population you wish to update. The Service Center will then send a template file back to you with employees populated, which you would update and send back.
Instructions
1. Log into HRS. WED error reports appear on the Home page. Reports appear based on your current security and whether there are errors to fix.
2. To filter the results further, options appear below.
Module: filter list of reports based on function, e.g., Absence, Benefits, Finance, etc.
Priority: all reports are listed in High--Medium--Low priority order by default
Business Unit: filter by institution
Dept ID: filter by specific organizational department ID; must enter full alpha + six digit code, e.g., G010000
DeptID (like): filter by a partial Dept ID to capture a larger group, e.g., G0100 or G01
3. Click the hyperlink in the WED for the report you wish to run. These four position-related reports are also accessible from the FLSA WorkCenter, found at Workforce Administration > Job Information > UW FLSA WorkCenter. For more information about the WorkCenter, see KB PD-WorkCenter.

- Employees assigned to Positions that do not have Reports To values assigned.
