Well it’s Project Time here in Residential Computing!
Today I finish the Judicial Project, which is basically a secured online form allowing RAs (Resident Assistants) to submit Incident Reports that is integrated to our CBORD Odyssey System.
It needed a small amount of recoding, but most importantly it got a major face lift from last years version. We took the new NetConnect Stylesheet (most notably used for the WOU NetConnect CD*) and applied it to these new Judicial pages. So most of the RA pages will look and flow the same way, with a few minor exceptions (to be corrected in the not-too-distant future).
With Judicial safely behind us, we can now proceed to the two largest projects left to complete for the summer.
1. The completion of the Judicial project is a larger step than it appears. Because this minor functionality is now working, we can more easily and smoothly implement the New! Online Housing Application for October 1, 2005. As the DB server, and web server are now linked, we can more quickly implement the Online Housing Application. More to come soon.
2. REDWOLF 2, although already in production, is far from complete. Student registration has been steadily increasing over the last 2 weeks, with VERY few issues. Many reports/interfaces/functionality must still be written, but half of the mission-critial processes already exist and are in place. This program will need to have it’s RESIDENT, RESHALL and HELPDESK modules complete before Sep 18. The TELECOM and ADMIN modules need a small amount of work, and the CAMPUS module needs not even to be begun until move-in is completed.
*The WOU NetConnect CD is provided to all student rooms to expedite the student computer registration process. It contains valuable step-by-step information as well as utilites and Sophos Antivirus for all students on campus.
