Support for Data Warehouse
• Data Warehouse brings together SHARP and
SMART
• Data Warehouse will make use of the Help Desk
software program implemented with SMART to gain
efficiencies in serving you
• You may have a role in supporting internal to your
agency
1313
Incident Resolution Process
• Incidents are questions or issues that interrupt the ability of the data warehouse user and/or power user to gather the analytic that they need
• The incident resolution process is the cornerstone of the help desk support structure and ensures that each incident is accurately classified, documented and resolved in a reasonable amount of time to restore productivity as quickly as possible.
1414
Incident Resolution Process
• Each agency will select a single Power User to be the Data Warehouse Contact at their agency
• Data Warehouse end-users will go to their Data Warehouse Contact within the agency when they initially encounter an incident in the data warehouse
• Data Warehouse Contacts will go to their designated Help Desk Contacts to log any incidents that are not resolved at the agency level (Note: Agencies may choose to make their Data Warehouse Contact a Help Desk Contact)
1515
Incident Resolution Process
• Help Desk software is programmed to route data warehouse related incidents to the appropriate team
– Category: Data Warehouse– Sub-Categories: Certification: HR Requests,
Certification: Payroll Requests, Dashboards, Requests, Other
• Solutions to incidents will be documented within the Help Desk Software and the agency will receive an email with the resolution to the incident
1616
Help Desk Best Practices
• Give detail when describing the incident– Fully describe the situation
– Include subject area and columns
– Include screenshots and anything else that can help us recreate the issue
• Remember: do not enter sensitive information into ServiceDesk
• Do not reply to an e-mail generated from the Help Desk– Use the “Reply” feature within ServiceDesk
1717
Data Warehouse
Phased Roll-Out to Agencies
1818
Data Warehouse Phased Roll-Out of Power User access
• Phased roll-out provides us the ability to focus on quality assurance and data integrity– Power User access, ability to create reports and
dashboards
• All agencies will initially have access to view statewide dashboards– Agencies can request reports not delivered on the
statewide dashboard
• Employees MUST complete training to receive Power User access – no grace periods

Subject Area Strategy
2424
Data WarehouseHR and Payroll Subject Areas
• Data Warehouse subject areas to be deployed
• On July 19th DW went live with the following:– Employee Job– Payroll Earnings– Payroll Earnings Other
• Additional subject areas will be deployed in phases:– Time & Labor – Workforce Profile– Position Management – Custom subject area
2525
Data WarehouseFinance Subject Areas
• Custom subject areas to be deployed for SMART:– KS AP Vouchers and Payments
– KS AR Items and Deposits
– KS Travel and Expense
• Delivered subject areas in these modules were not sufficient as stand-alone analytic reporting areas
• Enhances our ability to spot trends by bringing together additional facts and dimensions in to one reporting area
2626
Data WarehouseFinance Subject Areas
• Finance delivered subject areas– Commitment Control Activity Log – Commitment Control Budget Balances– Project Transactions– Project Current Activities– Purchase Order Line– Requisition Line– Requisition Analysis
• Delivered subject areas are sufficient to conduct analytic reporting with minor enhancements
2727
Data WarehouseJob Subject Area
• Employee Job– Data extracted nightly
• Use the Current Indicator in association with Employee Status Code for current dated analytics– Example: As of today, we have 100 active, classified
employees.• Use a Time Frame as opposed to a Point in Time/As of
Date for historical trending analysis– Correct Example: For Fiscal Year 2008 we had 300
terminations and for Fiscal Year 2009 we had 200 terminations.
– Incorrect Example: As of 6/13/2009 we had 100 active, classified employees compared to 6/13/2010 where we have 95 active, classified employees.
2828
Data Warehouse Job Subject Area
• Potential uses for Job Subject Area– Count of Current Active Employees– Count of Current by categories such as classified
indicator, regular/temp, job code, department– Comparison of the number of job actions within a
certain time period (hires, rehires, terminations, retirements)
– Analysis of current data for employees (position, job code, pay rate, etc)
• Statewide Job Dashboard has been developed as a starting point
2929
Data Warehouse Job Dashboard – Detail Pages
• Headcount Details Page– Employee ID– Name– Department ID with description– Job Code with description– Position Number
• Salary Details Page– Employee ID– Name– Department ID with description– Job Code with description– Grade and Step– Hourly and Annual Rate
3030
Data WarehousePayroll Subject Areas
• Payroll Earnings– Contains regular and overtime earnings and hours by
employee and pay period– Core record for the payroll process
• Payroll Other Earnings– Includes detailed earnings data processed through
Payroll that is not part of regular earnings – Contains earnings information that is not regular or
overtime earnings• Note: For Time and Labor agencies, ALL earnings (including
Regular and Overtime earnings) are contained in Payroll Other Earnings due to delivered integration for Time Reporting Codes
3131
Data WarehousePayroll Subject Areas
• Data is loaded every two weeks after final pay calculation
• Earnings information is tied to employee/period (cannot tie to Earnings Code in Earnings Subject Area)
• Paycheck number is 7 digit paycheck number from SHaRP (last 7 digits of payroll paycheck number in SMART)
• Must include on and off cycle paychecks to get full picture of pay period
3232
Data WarehousePayroll Subject Areas
• Must be sure to include all applicable earnings codes when evaluating a ‘general’ earnings area such as Overtime or Holiday pay as multiple specific earnings code exist within a general area
• Regular/OT for Time and Leave agencies is included in Payroll Earnings
• Time and Labor agencies must utilize Earnings Codes in Payroll Other Earnings
3333
Data WarehousePayroll Subject Areas
• Potential uses for Payroll Earnings/Other Earnings– Comparison of Total Earnings by period– Evaluation of OT by Department (Hours/Cost)– Review/Comparison of Leave/Comp Time payouts– Evaluation of Shift Differentials/Holiday Pay – Comparison of Employee hours by period– Evaluation of Longevity cost by Dept/Period
• Statewide Payroll Dashboard has been developed as a starting point

Data Warehouse Access
• On July 19, the “data warehouse” menu item was activated in SHARP for those employees who have data warehouse roles
• When you click on this link, the data warehouse environment will open in a new window
• All users see a shared Home dashboard when they first sign on. The statewide HR and Payroll dashboards will be available as well.
• HR Power Users are coaches for HR Users to help them setup dashboards – Use the dashboard lesson from RP301 as a guide
4545
Data Warehouse Security
• Power Users have ‘Full Control’ permission for their Agency folder structure– Note: Folders will be invisible to users until reports are saved
in them. For example, when viewing an Agency folder in Answers, the SHARP folder will be invisible until the Power User first saves a report under it.
• Job Aids: – Power User Security Guide has been posted on the SMART
website: http://da.ks.gov/smart/Training/CourseMaterials/WBT/resources.html
4646
Data Warehouse Security
• As Power Users, you have a great deal of responsibility for ensuring appropriate access to agency data– Request Level Permissions
– Folder Permissions
– Dashboard Permissions
• All agency groups and users are available and power users can provide permission to those both inside and outside your agency
4747
Security Risks
• All Power Users have the ability to:– Remove permission from someone who has a
request stored in a shared folder
– Remove permissions from another power user to actually belong to the power user group
– Display information statewide that you did not intend to display
4848
Security Risks
• Risk of Deleting Agency Folders–Full Control access includes the ability to accidentally delete entire folders and all of the shared reports underneath. To help mitigate this risk, the user is always asked to confirm the delete operation.
• Agency is responsible for fixing any permission-related errors at the agency-level
4949
Security Recommendation
1. Determine one Power User to provide governance over permissions
2. Reduce the number of Power Users
3. Use security access with a high degree of caution
4. Agree upon a method for documenting permissions– Users’ access will be constantly granted, updated, or removed.
Therefore, be sure to manage user security in a living document so that at any time a user’s access can be determined.
5. When in doubt, reach out. We are happy to help answer questions.
5050
Security Reminders
1. Removing a power user’s permissions is not enough. The Agency Security Administrator must also send a security request to inactivate the access to the data warehouse itself.
2. Adding a User or Power User can only occur after the person has been through training and their role added through a security form. They must have security to see the data warehouse link. They must have a user id in data warehouse before you can give them permissions to objects.
3. Use the SHARP Security request process to add or remove HR User and HR Power User roles
