1. Introduction
Business Objects (also known as BI launch pad and Infoview) is a web-based
application which provides access to Strategic Information Technology Services
(SITS) data and reports.
External Examiner module duties data are recorded in SITS. This guide is aimed at
users who need to search for and download a report of current External Examiner
module duties. Each time an External Examiner’s record is amended in SITS, the
report is updated overnight. It is highly recommended that a new report is
downloaded each time module duties data are required to ensure the most
recent and accurate information is accessed.
Please note, module duties for External Examiners at University of Brighton Partner
Colleges are not currently recorded in SITS.
