Countdown to Pivot URL change!

In less than 10 days, Pivot moves to a new URL!

On March 1, 2019, Pivot is moving to https://pivot.proquest.com and the current Pivot URL, https://pivot.cos.com will be discontinued. Traffic to cos.com will not automatically redirect to the new URL.

Update your saved bookmark to the new URL before the current URL discontinues. You can start using https://pivot.proquest.com today.

Please share this information with colleagues in other colleges or departments(or the library) who may have direct links and saved bookmarks for Pivot on their websites.

While you are making these updates, it's a perfect time for you to review all Pivot materials. Here are some helpful resources and guides, to make this transition easy.

Pivot URL Change

On March 1, 2019, Pivot is moving to https://pivot.proquest.com and the current Pivot URL, pivot.cos.com, will be discontinued. Traffic to cos.com will not automatically redirect to the new URL. Please check any links you have on your websites, including bookmarks or saved searches. Learn more about this change.

Kuali Research URL Change

To comply with new privacy laws and data security regulations, the domain address (URL) to Kuali Research is changing to: https://csumb.kuali.co/dashboard/. Please change your bookmarks NOW as the old URL will be ineffective as of 1/1/19.

At the new URL for Kuali Research you will be treated to a preview of the new dashboard under configuration as of 12/1/18. We anticipate the dashboard functionality to be fully configured by 1/1/19, sending you data about proposals routing (by you or to you), deliverables due (by you or your departmental faculty), and other information relevant to you as an individual user (aka: role-based data permissions).

To accomplish common tasks, like viewing your Action List, click the clipboard icon button and look for the card called "Quick Links". Note that, per my prior message regarding Human Subjects Research submissions (see attached for refresher), you can ALSO get to Kuali Protocols from here. The direct URL to Kuali Protocols remains https://csumb.kuali.co/protocols/portal/dashboard, but now you can access it from your dashboard in Kuali Research too.

Another way to access all the familiar tools, like your Action List, is to click the link icon and begin typing. Use your mouse to select/click the item from the picklist (hitting the enter/return key doesn't work).

Transitioning Deliverables to Kuali Research

For the past 12 years InfoEd has been the system delivering reminders to you, your Chairs and Deans, about sponsored programs deliverables (internal/external reports due) and Human Subjects Research (IRB) reporting compliance. We are currently in the process of transitioning deliverables to Kuali Research, our electronic research administration system. In fact, your new award deliverables are already being entered and tracked in Kuali while your old award deliverables will gradually migrate to Kuali as time permits. Human Subjects Research reports are transitioning after award deliverables and a separate message to that effect will be forthcoming.

A couple of important things to note:

• This transition might be bumpier than we'd like it to be due to technical concerns with InfoEd's server. It is still your responsibility to comply with stated deliverable deadlines in your sponsored award agreements and Human Subjects Research approvals. To that end, just to be safe, we highly recommend you download and/or print the attachment in this message for future reference.
• During the transition, you will receive notifications from BOTH InfoEd and Kuali for several months as we attempt to reconcile every item has successfully made the transition to Kuali. As such you may receive overlapping or duplicate notifications (about the same deliverables). Please bear with us as we iron out the kinks -- by January 2019 we want to hear from you if anything is missing or weird in Kuali.
  

Training on how to view-access your deliverables on demand (in addition to monthly email notifications), will be made available shortly here: Kuali User Documentation (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B3N0JVPdVcxpRXBBWUU4Qk8xLWc?usp=sharing). Recall that PI access to Kuali is new so if you have any problems accessing your information, your configurations may require some adjusting. Email Jen Bliss, jbliss@csumb.edu, for access/technical issues. Email SPO Staff, spo@csumb.edu, with questions about deliverables.
