Access ETS Reports on GW Documents

Please follow the instructions below to access Endowment Tracking System (ETS) Reports through GWdocuments. If you do not see your normal reports or have any problems, please contact Monnazah Sohail Rashid at [email protected] or 571-553-0033 so she can identify and correct any access issues.

  1. Login to GWdocuments at https://gwdocuments.gwu.edu/GWdocuments/GWDocuments logon screenshot
  2. Optional: If you are a member of multiple cabinets, select the “Gifts-Endowments Cabinet” from the drop down menu in the upper right hand corner. If you are only a member of this cabinet, you will not have a drop down menu and can skip this step, as you will already be in the Gifts-Endowments Cabinet.Gifts-Endowments Cabinet screenshot
  3. Next, you should automatically be taken to the “Search” tab. If you have any issues or do not see the search criteria as shown below, click on the “Search” tab.

It is important to note that reports are organized by calendar year.

  • For example, the June 2010 reports are under “Report Month” 06 and “Report Year” 2010. Similarly, the January 2011 reports would be under the headings “Report Month” 01 and “Report Year” 2011.

  • An entire calendar year could be viewed by only selecting the year 2010 (and not specifying a month). This would show all reports from January 2010 through December 2010.

  • All June reports could be viewed by only selecting the month 06 (and not specifying a year). This would show June reports for multiple years.

  1. Once all the parameters are entered, click “Document Search” at the bottom of the page.
