The TA/TM Budget Worksheet page is composed of a filter, statistic cards, lockdown date(s) and results table.

The results table allows the user to mark courses as requiring or not requiring TA/TM support and the shows the resulting TA/TM budget.
Filter
The filter includes the Fiscal Years, Faculties and Schools/Departments/Programs fields. The fiscal year is pre-set to the current period. Faculties will be pre-set according to the user. One or more schools, departments and programs may be selected together.
Statistic Cards
The statistic cards provide information on the total allocated amount, total TI budget, total TA/TM budget, total TI/TA budget and remaining budget for the department or faculty. The total allocated amount is from the budget allocation page. The total TI budget is from the TI Budget Worksheet page. The total TA/TM budget is the sum of the calculated salary on the results table in this page. The total TI/TA Budget is the sum of the total TI budget and total TA/TM budget. The remaining budget is calculated by deducting total TI/TA budget from total allocated amount.
Lockdown Date(s)
The lockdown date(s) from the Budget Lock Dates Setup page will be located here. If there is a lockdown date set on the department and faculty level, the department lockdown date will override the faculty lockdown date. After the lockdown date, this page will not be editable by users in Manager roles. The Hyperion lockdown date will also appear here. After this lockdown date, this page will not be editable for all users.
Results Table
The results table allows users to sort course offerings into those that require TA/TM support and those that do not require TA/TM support. The level of support is shown through the course offerings inclusion in one of two sections: Requiring TA/TM or Not Requiring. By default, all course offerings are marked as not needing TA/TM support. Course offerings can be moved between the sections. By completing the instructions in this section below, the table will calculate the TA/TM budget.
