User Experience Review Testing Wraps Up
Wrapping up
UER means that the over 400 folks across UVA who volunteered to help us take
the system and our training team’s drafts of quick reference guides, or QRGs,
for a test drive, have finished up walking through common transactions in the
Workday Finance system, and we’ve learned a lot from their feedback. We’ll use that
feedback to inform not only the quick reference guides, which are one of the
methods we provide training support, but also, we’ll use the feedback to inform
all training materials. Read more about UER here.
Training Update
The training team is
providing a comprehensive plan to get folks at UVA feeling confident
about doing their jobs within Workday Financials. They’re very close to publishing their
schedule of instructor-led training, and they’re working on a whole slate of web-based, self-guided training that folks
can take advantage of, too. Read the latest Training Update.
Security Roles, or, "What will I be doing in Workday?"
The sprint effort to get Oracle roles
mapped to Workday security roles finished up earlier in March, and pretty soon,
folks should start hearing from their managers and leaders what their roles
will be within the system. You can read more about the roles and
get a little more info about how that translates into training here.
Crosswalk of Oracle to Workday Finance Terms
The Business Terms site, established at the beginning of the year, takes all of the "Workday Words" we had been collecting, plus
all the other terms we use in the course of business at UVA, and pulled them together into one online resource that serves as the definitive dictionary for how we
talk about business at UVA. Our stakeholders made us aware that
it would be helpful still to have a more definitive crosswalk between the old
Oracle terms and the new Workday terms, so we built a crosswalk for your use,
and you can find it posted on the homepage of the business terms site. Visit the site.
Fund Ownership Availability
In the future state, units will be able to see funds
available without needing to wait for a year-end settlement and carryforward
calculations. It will be much clearer
who owns the fund balances as well as where the funds have transferred and how
much has been spent. The new model,
while great for transparency and reduction of manual tracking of funds, does
represent a significant shift in the way we think of budgets, so some support
material is definitely needed. Read more about the change and how we will support it.
