How do I get reports defined to OnDemand?
Form STD34 on the eForms website is the official request form
for getting reports defined to OnDemand. Reports being defined
must have a valid production Report Distribution number. Any and
all information that you can provide for this form will be
helpful; if you do not know all the information the OnDemand
Report Administrator will gather the rest of the information
after the request is received. The authorizing department head
must sign the request form before any report will be loaded to
OnDemand. All OnDemand requests must go through the department
that owns the report.
How long is data available on OnDemand?
The length of time data is available to the user is decided by
the owner of the report. Data can be kept anywhere from 3 days
to 10 years. Required files are kept permanently.
