Log-in to Colleague and type the neumonic 鈥淕LBR鈥� in the form search box, then press 鈥淓nter鈥�. You can also  select this report via the 鈥淣avigation鈥� tab at the top of the screen.

Mandatory fields are highlighted in red.

After pressing 鈥淔2鈥� or clicking the magnifying glass, you will see the following screen. This screen is used to  (first) select the data the report will contain (Select/List) and (second) how the report will be displayed  (Sort).

Select/List: Pick The Data Your Report Will Contain

In the 鈥淪elect/List鈥� field, click the icon with the magnifying glass, or press the F2 key. The following screen  will open (see next page). On this screen you will determine what data your report will contain. Input the  fund, area, location, TOPS, or Object of the budget account you want in your report. 

Example

I want to run a GLBR report using the following information: 

• Fund 鈥�13鈥� or the Restricted Fund (grants) 
• TOP code 鈥�703945鈥� for CTE Community Collaborative #5 
• Object codes beginning with 鈥�5鈥� or expenditures 

Please note, you can input any portion of the budget account number, but keep in mind that Colleague will  capture only the accounts that include the codes you鈥檝e input above (In this example, only accounts that have  the Fund = 13, TOP code = 703945, and Object Codes = 5xxxx - Expenses).

Once you press F9, or enter, you will return to the previous screen with your choices filled in the 鈥淒isplay  Criteria鈥�, as seen below.

Sort: Pick How Your Data Will Display

In the 鈥淪ort鈥� field, click the icon with the magnifying glass, or press the F2 key. The following screen will  open. On this screen you can adjust (or sort) how the report is displayed.

To delete these fields from the screen, I click the number, and then select 鈥淒elete鈥�, and then 鈥淒elete鈥� again.  (see next page). Repeat until deleted 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. In this example, we sort by the TOP code (703945).  This means the report will be sorted/displayed by all accounts with 703945 first. This is best when you are  running more than one TOP code. Please note: you can also sort by GLS.FUND if you run only one TOP code

 

After I have deleted 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 鈥� I will see the following screen:

Next, I will add additional sort criteria. For this example, I want to add the following additional sort criteria: 

• Expenditures or GLS.GL.CLASS
• GLS.MAJOR.OBJECT

You will return to the previous screen with both the Select/List and Sort information populated.

You will be returned to the initial screen when you entered the mnemonic 鈥淕LBR鈥�.

The following screen appears to show you the progress of your report:

Your report will look similar to the one on the next page. From this report, you will be able to see: 

• General ledger (budget) account number 
• YTD Encumbrances = Purchase orders outstanding as of report date

The Persistence and Success Tool provides data on a cohort of students who successfully pass a specified course in a specified semester and then continue on to persist in a second specified course during a given time frame. You can also choose a group of students who received a particular grade and see how they did in the second course. 

This tool allows you to acquire the basic metrics for a Subject or Program by year. The metrics are: # of sections offered, enrollment, scheduled capacity, contact hours, percent of capacity, WSCH,
FTEF, and FTES.

This tool looks at a particular Program, either in aggregate or specific courses, and reports the
enrollment, the # of students who were retained to the end of the semester, and the number of students who succeeded with a "C" or better. The tool also divides the students by modality (Face-to-Face, Distance, Hybrid). You can have a breakdown by demographics (gender, age, ethnicity) and drill down to the course level. 

This tool shows the number of awards given in the college (Degrees/Certificates) by program and type of degree. It also allows looking at the number of students declaring the major in the program and the number of them taking Core classes. 

1. : This shows the enrollment in a particular program by course over time in a semester.
2. This shows the number of sections of a particular course by program offered over the last 10 years.
3. This shows the number of FTES, Head Count, Enrollments, and Sections for the current semester, compared to the last 6 years.
