Discussion of Rialto

 

  • Those experienced with Rialto gave information and opinions

  • CSU sites with Rialto turned on:

    • CSU Long Beach

    • CSU San Bernardino

    • Cal State LA

    • Sonoma State 

    • San Diego State

    • San Jose State

    • Cal Poly Humboldt

  •  Things that happened after the meeting:

    I voted for Rialto enhancements for the CO thanks to your input (100 points to give): 8802 – 25, 8214 – 25, 8722 – 20, 8829 – 20, 8897 – 10. 

    Christina H got history of this in the CSU, contracts, etc. and will have more information by our meeting next week (May 8).



PO Line Task List/interface change thoughts





  • Not intuitive changes – a lot of ‘where is this thing/feature/button’, why did they add so many steps, things at the top vs. the bottom

  • Making the interface match a lot of the rest of Alma, it will eventually all look like that (Rapido already in that format) but this is still new to people working in this area

  • Renewal date issues

  • Task List changes didn’t impact campuses that don’t have a lot of tasks in the list

 

Order It! for May 2024 release

 

  • Jessica looked at it, there is a bookmark you can install on your browser to try it out

  • After the meeting:

    • Christina sent some notes and a video on Order It!, it works out of the sandbox (sent sandbox logins), will go live Sunday, May 5

 

Other topics

 

  • May 2024 release has something to allow you to delete licenses, Jessica tried it out, it works and they really want to make sure you don’t delete licenses by accident

  • Alma->PeopleSoft export – who is doing this? Catrina/CSUSB and Bernadette/SFSU confirmed it is done at their sites, Christina H can confirm it is done at CSUN as well. Christina will get a full list from David Walker at the CO since he has a program that runs centrally to make this work.
