Logging In To BOS

BOS utilizes the University of Utah's Duo authentication for logging in.  To log in, click one of the two 'Log In' buttons, either on the top navigation bar or in the middle of the page. This will attempt to authenticate against the University of Utah's system - so if you already have an active log in, you will automatically be directed to the BOS home page, otherwise, it will redirect you to the DUO login page.

The BOS Home Page has a list of tiles that link to common tasks.  These links will vary depending on your role(s).

BOS Navigation

The BOS System is designed to be easily navigable.  There is a collapsible side menu along with a navigation bar along the top.  The side menu, expanded by default, can collapse or expand using the double caret button at the bottom of the menu. The menu items will vary depending on your role(s).

If a year is selected, the note will be updated and a clear button will become available.  This will cause BOS to automatically filter orders and transactions. This filter does not apply to Reports (accessible by those with permission only).

You can edit some user details in the editable details box (see details about how these work below). Fields that can be update include name, email address, position and phone numbers. Username is the user's University of Utah UNID.  Addresses can be added or edited by the HSC Cores' Admin Office; contact them to make any necessary changes.

BOS Editable Detail Box

Throughout BOS, you may encounter boxes of information that is editable. These boxes can be recognized by the pencil icon in the upper right corner. 

To edit information in an editable details box, click the pencil icon in the corner. This will toggle the box to be in its edit state.

When a detail box is in its edit state, editable fields will become fillable. You can exit the edit state by clicking the eye icon in the corner of the box. This will not save any changes, but will toggle the box back to a view only state.
