nVision Travel is Now "Live"

nVision—the new business intelligence reporting tool—released its first business area, "nVision Travel," to the NIH community on September 2, 2003. nVision (which will replace the NIH Data Warehouse) is available via the NIH Portal and provides a Web-based business intelligence tool for the NIH community with these features:

  • "drillable" reports

  • customizable user interface

  • exportable to Excel, Word, Adobe Acrobat, and HTML

nVision Travel provides in-depth travel reporting on information received from the new NBS travel system, as well as historical ADB travel data going back to fiscal year 1999. nVision Travel reports offer important data that will aid the management of an organization's travel resources. Using this tool, users can

  • determine who is currently on travel

  • track expenditures for a specific Project or CAN

  • identify travel trends

  • based on summary data, plan the next year's travel budget

In addition, nVision Travel offers more basic reports in the local, domestic, foreign, sponsored, and patient travel areas.

How to Get nVision Travel Reports

To launch nVision Travel reports, visit the NIH Portal using a Web browser, open the Communities tab (at the top) and choose "nVision." From the nVision community page users will find everything needed to get acquainted, registered,and trained in the use of nVision.

Current DW Travel users do not need to register for nVision Travel if their EOs have already submitted approval to transfer their registration to nVision. To check a user's registration status, use the "nVision Registration Information Search Tool," which is available to all users and is located on the NIH Portal’s nVision Community page. If you are not a current DW Travel user, register using the new nVision Registration Form, which is also located on the nVision Travel Community page.

The goal of nVision is to offer the NIH business community the latest and most comprehensive business intelligence and reporting technology available. The NIH Business Intelligence team welcomes questions and comments at helpdesk@nih.gov.

More Information

To reap the benefits of the many capabilities and features of nVision, plan to attend one of our upcoming training classes. Hands-on, instructor-led classroom training is available at no additional charge to all interested NIH staff. Please see the CIT Training Web page for class dates, times and location.
