Universal Data Request Workflow

A Universal Data Request (UDR) workflow was created to provide a single common procedure for Wayne State University affiliates to request data from our various reporting systems/sources/departments. The main objectives of the UDR workflow include:

• Transparency regarding prioritization and work status of data requests
• Reduce redundancy of similar requests for the same data through different departments
• Reduce confusion by defining clear lines of responsibility amongst cross-departmental reporting teams
• Ensure that service levels are met in the delivery of all data requests
