Starting Use of the Program

The reporting software is available to the researcher on a computer connected to the HUS network at https://HiRo.hus.fi. A separate login is not required, as the program recognizes the researcher through HUS authentication.

Summary of the Financial Situation of Projects

When the program opens, the Researcher’s Projects tab appears, showing a list of all the researcher’s projects with the current balances at the top of the page. Project financials are updated in the program on a monthly basis on the 15th of each month.
