Ongoing Support During Project Stabilization

Even though FST is heading into the “stabilization” phase and out of hypercare, this doesn’t mean that UVAFinance and the FST Team won’t continue support efforts like office hours, committing extra hands and minds to the issues that still need to be sorted out in workstreams like spend, and prioritizing, tracking, and reporting out on the progress made on outstanding deliverables.  Read a message about stabilization from Melody Bianchetto.

Office Hours for October Plus a Handy Cheat Sheet

See the October Office Hours Schedule here.  We also posted a new resource that walks through common questions and areas of trouble that users have and matches those up to the right office hours sessions you should go to for help. View the "Cheat Sheet."

Training Resources for Workday Financials

Users should also keep in mind that even though instructor-led training is no longer available, there are still lots of ways for you to get the help you need.  In addition to Office Hours, there are self-paced courses available, as well as quick reference guides, listed by topic on the Workday Financials Training page.   The self-paced courses are a good way to refresh yourself.  Read more about the courses we recommend. 

Do you use WalkMe?  You should!

WalkMe is the digital assistance feature offered within Workday itself. When you use WalkMe, you’ll have access to a “need help” menu, as well as embedded links to the quick reference guides, and also popup instructions that walk users through business processes in real-time, while you’re working in the system.  WalkMe also incorporates buttons that launch other helpful content like smart walkthrus of the task or transaction, and tooltips that help users understand fields and steps in a business process. Learn more about WalkMe and make sure you have the extension installed.
