It’s September, and that means we’re in the last month of the phase of the FST project called “hypercare,” a phase of the project that emphasizes knowledge transfer, close ongoing support, ironing out known issues, and preparation for the future state.
Office Hours in September
Topic-based office hours are continuing through September - the Training Team along with our partners on the Functional Team are hosting sessions on reporting and dashboards, payroll, account certification, and other popular topics, plus new additions such as the Workday release on September 10 and the Tuition and Fee Proposal Tool. View the schedule.
Workday Release 2 on September 10
Workday often makes updates to improve the system's look and functionality. For this particular update, users will notice that their homepage will look quite a bit different. You will notice changes to the appearance of your apps, the addition of a global navigation menu, and improvements in the search feature, among other things.

FDM Requests Open
The FST team has officially opened the ability for schools and units to request new FDM values, edits to existing values, or deactivation of existing values. Each major business unit has an FDM administrator who will be responsible for submitting requests for their unit on a once-per-week basis. Read more on the blog.
New Tuition & Fee Portal
The Financial Planning & Analysis Team has developed an improvement around the 2023-2024 Tuition and Fee request process. The new process involves the use of Smartsheet and is much more streamlined and simple, including enhanced reporting functionality, a familiar, excel-like format for viewing historical data, and the ability to add all requests while staying on just one screen. The T&F portal is expected to open on September 12, and office hours and other resources will be available during the month of September while the portal is open for tuition & fee requests.

Security Requests and Role Access
Now that Workday Financials has been in use for a couple of months, and especially since the passing of the August 31 deadline for completion of training, users may find that they need to make changes to security role access for themselves or in their teams. If you request a role through the system access request process in Workday, remember that training must be completed before the role is approved.
If you want to remove a training requirement for a role you don’t need, use the system access request process to request the removal of the role. Read more on the blog.
