  • It would be more than useful to revert to having Product Managers available at FSIG. P.Spreull to contact Tom Paterson today if possible for Input at next ISTUG.
  • Discussion centred on ideas of how we can get more out of these sessions and items for future that can be used to follow up in the FSIG meetings.

Other subjects identified:

  • Hierarchies to start, with a ‘System’ to be available for session in this August meeting.
  • COA and linking this to above. All to bring examples of COA to this session in August. Plus examples of how to use Security on A/C’s, and could follow this up with a session to the wider group @ ISTUG to highlight – Hints & Tips & lessons learnt
  • Use FSIG to work these issues out and then put them into following mtgs. @ ISTUG.
  • Try out in August mtg. – FSIG, on 14/08/02 and then in the mtg. on 18/09/02. If all works well continue on that basis.
  • Action:
  • JW will organise access to the system @ Sage for 14/08/02 (& could have access to UHB’s data copy that Sage have) which includes the working hierarchy UHB use.
  • Float idea of joint RSIG mtg. with Finance because of interest between the two groups.
  • Some users to attend RSIG in afternoon @ next ISTUG and them feed back into the FSIG mtg in August.
