QUERY TRAINING

Do you need job-related data? Anyone can run queries in ctcLink to access the information they need. The SBCTC has created a 30- minute training on how to run queries. It will show you everything you need to know in order to pull reports.


WHAT IS A QUERY?

A tool in ctcLink that allows people to get information relevant to their job, specifically about students, classes, departments. It lets you search information in an instant – instead of looking up individual pieces of data. When you run a query in ctcLink, you get a downloadable file with all the data you request.


WHO SHOULD TAKE QUERY TRAINING

Everyone has the ability to run queries in ctcLink, and everyone is welcome to take the training. Those who ran DataX reports in the old HP system are most likely to use ctcLink queries. If you are a faculty member who has had to ask staff for information in the past, you can now take the query training and locate it yourself. If your job entitles you to information, ctcLink makes it easy for you to find.

STUDENT COMMUNICATIONS ON CTCLINK

Students are back for the Fall Quarter! This week we sent out over 9,000 emails to remind them about the transition to ctcLink. The communication included an overview of ctcLink and its benefits to students, a timeline of upcoming key events, and a preview of what to expect in the coming months.

To learn more about the information students are receiving regarding ctcLink, please visit the Student Updates section at bellevuecollege.edu/ctclink.


STUDENT EMPLOYEES AND SELF-SERVICE TRAINING

Student employees were not required to complete training last spring. However, they will need to complete the Employee Self- Service (ES100) training before they access the system on Nov. 9.

The course covers a range of topics, including tracking time, entering time, reporting leave/comp time, creating travel authorizations, requesting an absence and viewing requests and time summaries. In addition, the employee will be shown how to view payroll information, personal and benefit details.

Managers, please schedule these employees to complete this training during work hours and please help them register for the course. Please click here for more information.
