Have an idea for a great new feature for CBS?

Let us know and we will look into it.

1. After logging in to CBS

  • Click on Help
  • Go to Request a Feature

2. You will be prompted to log into the Feature Request/Bug Tracker feature.

  • input your NetID and password to access the feature

3. From the options available (Accounting System, Intranet, Personnel, Purchase Processing System, Purchase Request System, and Reporting System) decide what category your feature request falls into.

  • Since these categories mirror the modules or tabs across the screen in CBS, you should select the module for which you would like the feature to be added. Don't worry too much if you are not sure. Better to submit it without certainty than not submit it at all.

4. To make your selection, click on the small image of a drop down menu next to the category on the far right hand side.

5. Click "New Issue" from the list

6. Give a descriptive title

7. Rate the importance of your feature by selecting what you believe to be the priority

8. Choose a category from the drop down list. Selecting a category helps the request route to the correct individual.

9. Enter details about the feature request into the text box, being sure to be specific about how the feature will help you. Give an idea of scope (how often it will help, how much time can be saved, etc.) You can include screenshots if you want to show where something could go, etc.

10. Click "Save" and your feature request will route to the appropriate individual.
