Updates to Reports and Letters to Support the New 24/25 ISIR

As a result of the changes to the 24/25 ISIR format, Student Financial Aid has created views containing ISIR information for 24/25 ISIR and forward while maintaining current ISIR views for 23/24 and prior.  24/25 ISIRs contain significantly more fields, previous fields have been renamed and allowable values have been updated.  Creating these new views enables all prior product and custom reports to function while giving the flexibility to enhance or create new reporting for the new ISIR structure.

Reporting Updates

  • New Reporting views will be created to include ISIR data for 24/25 ISIRs and forward
    • Reporting views will be designated as V2 in order to differentiate the new from existing views
      • Existing views will contain 23/24 ISIR data and older
      • For example:
        • 23/24 ISIR information - ISIR_ONLY_VW 
        • 24/25 ISIR information - ISIR_ONLY_V2_VW 
  • Custom reports may need to be duplicated depending on the ISIR data being returned.  Certain reports can be rewritten to include ISIR data from old and new views however you should be cautious of the amount of ISIR fields being used.  

Letter Updates

  • Any custom letters utilizing ISIR fields may need to be duplicated or re-written in order to ensure the correct ISIR data is being displayed
    • Since ISIR data will now be split into multiple views depending on the Award Year, you'll need to ensure custom data models using any of the existing V1 views be updated to also include the V2 views or should be duplicated to incorporate only 24/25 ISIRs and forward. 
  • In order to support the new reporting views and letters, the Letter trigger parameters for the FasStudentAwardInformationV2Event have been updated to include an Award Year.  The Award Year sent in the parameters will correlate to the latest Award Year of any fund in the Award Message.  Award year has been added so Award Year specific letters, ie the Aid Offer Letter and the Provisional Aid Offer Letter, incorporates the correct ISIR values.
    • For Example, the following Package version would have an Award Year of 2025 as the award year in the letter parameters:
      • Package Version 2
      • Academic Year 1
      • Awards
        • 24/25 Pell
        • 23/24 Sub
        • 23/24 Unsub

Letters

  • Review any custom letters that utilize ISIR values.  Letter data models may need to be updated to use the new ISIR reporting V2 views, or if significant changes were made you may need to duplicate the letter in OAS and configuration to allow for Aid Year specific letters
  • If FTI data is present, the format FTI function may need to be used to include the CUI//SP-TAX label in the output of the letter.  For details please review the Security Requirements for FTI Data Feature. 

Reports

  • Custom reports may also need to be duplicated depending on the ISIR data being returned.  Certain reports can be rewritten to include ISIR data from old and new views however you should be cautious of the amount of ISIR fields being used.   
  • If your custom reports contain FTI data in the output, you should include an optional run parameter that will allow you to display or mask FTI data in the output. For details please review the Security Requirements for FTI Data Feature.
