THE BRIEF

There are two items that we’d like to bring to your attention.
They were featured in today’s Thursday Dispatch, but we feel that it never hurts to repeat important information.

QUERY TRAINING

A tool in ctcLink that allows people to get information relevant to their job, specifically about students, classes, and 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.

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.

For current information: please click here.

Note: The link for Query Runners training is the same link as the student employee registration link. Please select the ctcLink PeopleSoft Reporting course under “End-User Reporting.”

Additional information for managers will be coming out soon.

STUDENT EMPLOYEES & 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.
