UMOJA REPORTING – SEE THE SECRETARIAT IN A NEW LIGHT
The new Umoja Reporting page is live! One of the transformative benefits of Umoja is the ability to conduct complex and real-time analysis of key data. Umoja reports allow UN staff and managers to search, view and analyse a variety of metrics to improve work efficiency as well as support strategic planning and decision-making.
Transactional reports (ECC/SRM) enable real-time data reporting. They are comprised of simple lists, which allow aggregation, drill-down capabilities and are usually data specific.
Business Intelligence (BI) is a separate system devoted to reporting, where data is organized in a way that allows faster generation of reports. It allows information aggregation, trend analysis with drill-down capabilities, KPI tracking, provides numerous tools and outputs, and enables self-service reporting.
The new Reporting page on the Umoja website presents an inventory of commonly-used reports, available in the Umoja transactional system “Enterprise Core Component” (ECC). An inventory of Business Intelligence reports is also available. Visit the Reporting page on the Umoja website to learn more.

REMINDER ON TIME MASS APPROVAL
Approving multiple leave requests just got easier! Whether you have multiple requests from one colleague or a group of staff members, you can now select one, some or all requests and approve them with a single click. To ease the process even further, the Time Mass Approval function allows you to sort and filter the list of pending requests to make the steps of identification, review, selection and approval more efficient.
Please see the new Tutorial and Quick Guide in the ESS/MSS page.
