BCATT Release Notes

BCATT is a basic replacement of CATT reimplemented to use Workday data. As the implementation continues, notes will be added to this page on what functionality has been released.

Overall BCATT Status

BCATT is not yet available to use for actual work. We do have a QA version available for testing at https://qa-bcatt.med.wisc.edu/. Key stakeholders are invited to log into the application and provide feedback. 

Here are a few things to keep in mind about the QA version of BCATT:
  • This is an environment for testing - it is not stable enough for doing actual work. You need to be logged into VPN or on the SMPH network to access the application.
  • The data you see originates in Workday.
  • Periodically we will need to clear the database, so things that you enter during testing will be cleared at some point. We will try to minimize how often we need to do this.
  • You can click on anything and create/delete data without worrying about breaking anything. If something does seem broken, let us know so we can fix it!
We know that this is not enough yet to be useful. What we need to know now is what are the most important functions you need us to add first so that it can be useful. 
As we continue to work on BCATT, we welcome your feedback via our application development portal.
  • What is incorrect or confusing?
  • What are the critical things we need to implement before we can make it live?
  • What should we focus on next?
