      <link>https://oscar-test.symplicity.com/weekly_clerkships_blog_post/_31/297/OSCAR_65</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On July 20, 2026, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AO) deployed OSCAR Release 6.5 with several enhancements for HR Administrators</p>
<h2>Release 6.5 Changes for Judiciary Users</h2>
<h3>Easier Report Scheduling</h3>
<p>The Schedule Report option is now available directly from the Reports page on human resource administrators' interfaces.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>How to Use</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Navigate to Reports on the lefthand navigation</li>
<li>Select Schedule Report directly from the reports list</li>
<li>Configure frequency and delivery options</li>
</ol>

<h3>Annual Terms of Use Acceptance</h3>
<p>Each year in OSCAR you will be asked to r<span data-teams="true">eview and accept the <strong>OSCAR Terms of Use</strong> before accessing your account.</span>&nbsp;<br /> <br /> This is the same Terms of Use you accepted when your OSCAR account was created. The acknowledgment is now presented annually to help ensure continued compliance with OSCAR policies.<br /> </p>
<p><strong>Action Required&nbsp;</strong><strong><br /> <br /> </strong><span data-teams="true">Your first login after <strong>July 30, 2026, </strong>you will be </span>prompted during login to review the Terms of Use and select <strong>Accept</strong> to continue. This acknowledgment is required each year to maintain access to your OSCAR account.</p>
<h3>New AO 78-Only Application Packet Option</h3>
<p>Previously, when downloading application packets, you were unable to isolate the AO 78 form within the application packet without including other items categorized as "other documents." Application packet generation now allows you to include only AO 78 forms.</p>
<p>Available Options</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Yes (All)</li>
<li>Yes (AO 78 Only)</li>
<li>No</li>
</ul>
</ul>
