Introduction
Campus users must use Service Now to request access to ERS. There is a request form with prepopulated data
and a confidentiality agreement posted online at http://www.calstate.edu/es/intranet/applications/aa/ers/ . Both
forms should be filled out by the requestor and then submitted to the campus IR Director for approval. The IR
Director or their delegate would open a Service Now ticket. The following procedures will detail this process.
2.0
Account Request Form Completion
The following ERS account request form is located on the web at
http://www.calstate.edu/es/intranet/applications/aa/ers/ . It should be completed and attached to a Service Now
ticket.

Complete the form as follows:

Requestor Name and Email: Enter the information of the person requiring access.

Account: This field will only require an entry if the user already has an account that requires modification,
deletion, or needs to be unlocked.

Campus IR Director Name and Email: Enter the information of the person authorizing the access.

Date Submitted: This will be the date the request was initiated.

Does requestor have access to any of the following systems: APDB, SFDP, IPEDS, FIRMS: Often an
ERS user may already have an account in the database and subsequently only requires the addition of the
roles described in the Role section of the form.

Confidentiality: Check the box and attach the form to the ticket along with the request form.

Role: No changes are required here but for the Action select whether to add or remove the roles.
Save the form with a file name. An example would be RequestForERSAccountForm_35_20120809.doc, where 35
is the campus code and the date indicates when the form was created. Attach the form to the Service Now ticket
along with the completed Confidentiality form.

The Name and Location of the ticket initiator will default into those respective fields. No action is required on
behalf of the ticket initiator.
The first field that will require a decision is Severity. The default will be Campus-Specific and can be left as that
or one of the following other options can be selected. Clicking on the More information link will display the
definitions of the Severity values.
The Urgency field should be selected based upon the level of impact to the business. The default value will be
Low. If the issue prevents a user from performing a key business task then select the value of High. Most
requests, specifically new account or password resets, warrant a value of Medium. Requests, Questions or HowTo type of tickets should be set to an Urgency of Low.

The Type field will default to Access Request/Problem as the majority of the tickets are account creation or
password reset requests for the ERSx application. Selecting the dropdown arrow will provide additional values
should the default value not apply to the purpose of the ticket. Clicking on the More information link will display
the definitions of the Type values.
The Category field will display Enrollment Reporting System (ERSx) and cannot be changed as this template is
specific to ERSx.
The Subcategory field will further define the purpose of the ticket. It defaults to Account Request/Modification as
the majority of the tickets are account creation or password reset requests for the ERSx application. Selecting the
dropdown arrow will provide additional values should the default not apply to the purpose of the ticket. The More
information link will provide a description of the purpose of this field.

The “Which Module?” field will display values based upon the Type value selected above. If the default value for
the Type field is left as Access Request/Problem the only value for the “Which Module?” field will be ERSx
because this type of request is application, not module, specific.
When the default value of the Type field is changed to any value other than Access Request/Problem then all
seven ERSx module values will display when the dropdown arrow is selected.

If the Type and Subcategory defaults are left intact note that the Term and Year field will be grayed out. The
reason is that Account Request/Problem Types are application, not module, specific and therefore do not require
a Year or Term.
If any other Type is selected all modules will be available and a Term and Year will be required.

This is the extent of the information required with the exception of any attachments that are related to the ticket.
For a Type of Account Request/Problem and a Subcategory of Account Request/Modification the account
request form described in Sections 2.0 and if appropriate the confidentiality form described in section 3.0 should
