The Financial Summary Trends page contains six built-in tabs that allow you to create reports, compare financial information, and view graphs based on the options you select in the Filter Menu. A description of each tab is below. Refer to the Scenarios job aid to test out various scenarios for using filters and pulling data into the report tabs.

NOTE: Due to the large amount of data aggregated with this tool, it takes time for the reports to load after you make your filter selections and additional time for each report tab to load after you click on the tab. Allow adequate time for the page to populate data before clicking on anything else in the window. The hover information box may appear on these report tabs as you mouse over data points. Finally, as you are reviewing each tab, it may be necessary to scroll right, left, up or down in the viewing window to see all the information presented.

The budget is connected to the fiscal period, therefore, if you look at a single fiscal period, it will only reflect the budget income during that single period, not the budget for that period or the fiscal year. For example, if your budget funds are disbursed into your account in August, you will only see them if you select August as the fiscal period. When looking at previous fiscal years, remember that you are looking at a snapshot of the data at year end close, not based on the date you accessed the data here. This means that it may still show encumbrances that have since been resolved.

For more information about the categories listed in the tabs below, please refer to the Budget Summary for Operations (BSO) webpage.
