Budget\u00a0Administration 1 training was a success this week, led by professional instructor Peter Ho\u00a0from MIS. Staff and faculty members\u00a0said they enjoyed the hands-on experience and illustrative handouts.\u00a0This was the first time that many of the participants signed into PeopleSoft and began looking up new department and account codes using the crosswalk created especially for the university by the Optimize project team. After mapping old account codes to new ones, the classes practiced searching for budget information and saving it to their PeopleSoft\u00a0profiles\u00a0so that\u00a0they can easily\u00a0refer to it later.\u00a0The project team encourages people that participated in Budget Administration 1 to sign up for Budget Administration 2, which will\u00a0expand on the budget inquiry feature and talk about processing non-PO disbursement requests. \u00a0<\/p>\n
You may register for classes by visiting the Optimize training<\/a> page. If you are unable to attend training, help videos are available through PS Help<\/a>\u00a0on PeopleSoft navigation, budget administration, and\u00a0using the crosswalk tool. You may watch step-by-step instructions, try\u00a0the process out\u00a0yourself,\u00a0and print a hard copy of the instructions to keep as a reference.\u00a0The help videos\u00a0are a great resource if you haven’t yet gone through training or if you need to refresh your classroom lessons.<\/p>\n
