Kevin Ashman will kindly do a monthly pull of people within CCB. HR has info on all staff, faculty, post-docs and other researchers. Instruction has info on all grad students.
Ideal goal: Single spreadsheet, each month, with current snap-shot of all CCB people and some info about each person.
PatH has CCB-taken photos of each Grad student,with their name. PatH to send those photo sheets for us, for each incoming year's worth of Grads (1st year Grads). PatH will add NetIDs to this sheet (7/31/13).
To do's
- Get faculty data (from Joyce?). Ensure we include emeritus faculty who are active or might otherwise call on ChemIT's services.
- Include only "Current" from the Grad student list.
- Don't include "withdraw", for example. (And "Former" Grads already not being included, apparently.)
- Standardize columns so all data can easily be used within one sheet (same column heading titles and order)
- Idea: Add dummy fields in any DB that won't have data so automatically get correct column heading.
- With Grads: NetID, not NetID-based email
- Add "Grad" (or something like this) to Grad's "Title" field
Data export needed for billing and Remedy reporting
Required data
- chemistry staff (include researchers, post docs, visiting scholars, regular staff) and
faculty (including visiting profs and emeritus) - graduate students

Processes figured out so far
ChemIT has created for Kevin a folder, R:\Public - all Chem Staff\Chem staff files\, which is available to Kevin on his R: drive.
- Kevin is thus putting the spreadsheet there and is able to update them. And we'll be able to access the most recent copies without emailing and such.
Kevin also has access to the FileMaker grads file on the server.
- In FileMaker, open remote fm.arts.cornell.edu. (We suggest adding as a favorite host.)
Purposes
- CCB Groups within Active Directory (managed by ChemIT).
- For access to CCB file servers, NMR access (in the future, possibly), Chem Community Headnode (possibly).
- ChemIT monthly billing
- ChemIT activity reports from Remedy (Remedy identification)
- ChemIT staff's knowledge of who is who
- Ideally with pictures (from PatH. And/or from WorkDay), at least for grads.
Question: Of value to the Stockroom? To Accounting/ billing? To other CCB units?
