This guide explains how to use the reporting features of the Statewide Integrated Financial Tools (SWIFT) system, including inquiries, queries, and reports.
The Statewide Integrated Financial Tools (SWIFT) is an online financial management system for business processes across State agencies in Minnesota. This user guide focuses specifically on the reporting functionalities within SWIFT, which allow users to look up, find, and access information through Inquiries, Queries, and Reports.
Before requesting queries or reports, users must understand the available support tools: Run Control IDs for remembering values, Process Scheduler for submitting requests, Process Monitor for tracking progress, and Report Manager for accessing logs and outputs. The guide details how to use these tools and provides step-by-step instructions for performing Inquiries (viewing transaction data), running Queries (extracting information), and generating Reports.
SWIFT supports Inquiries (look up and view information), Queries (request and extract information), and Reports (request and receive formatted and organized information).
A Run Control ID is a database record that remembers and provides values for requests made in SWIFT, such as scheduled queries or reports.
You can select the Process Monitor hyperlink after submitting a request to view the list of your submitted requests and their status.
