A Few Details...
Like any system, the Worklist Manager has a few quirks. These
include:
- Don't use your browswer's back button. It will
cause an error. Use the Return to Worklist or Worklist Home
buttons to return to the main worklist.
- Don't use your browser's refresh button. It will
cause an error. Use the Refresh List button instead to refresh
the list
- There are some problems with using Netscape.
We recommend using Internet Explorer when using the Worklist
Manager. We may be able to resolve these issues in the future,
but for the July 21st release, the Worklist Manager is best
compatible with Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 on Windows, Internet
Explorer 5.1 on Macintosh OS 9.x, and Internet Explorer 5.2
on Macintosh OS 10.x.
Set Up a Filter
If you're concerned about getting a lot of email from the Worklist
Manager, we recommend setting up a filter. Filters allow you to
automatically sort email from the workflow system into a different
folder or mailbox. Click on the email program you use for specific
instructions to set up a filter for Eudora
or Outlook.
These instructions are printable so that you can reference them
while having your email program up on the screen.
Data Shown in Transaction Summary
While the Worklist Manager doesn't show every field from the
PeopleSoft panel, it does show all of the critical data including
some extremely confidential data. Please keep this in mind. Approvers
will be able to review all of this information. You and your approvers
are responsible for complying with the Federal law and University
policy concerning the privacy rights of students, student applicants,
employees, and job applicants. A breach of this confidentiality
can be cause for disciplinary action up to and including termination
of employment. For a complete list of the fields displayed for
each type of transaction, go to the Transaction
Summary Data page.
What does STF stand for?
STF stands for Stanford. In PeopleSoft, the abbreviation is used
to identify fields, panels, and panel groups that have been modified
or customized so that they'll be easy for the developers to identify
when it's time for a system upgrade. The Workflow enabled panel
groups all begin with STF since they are customized to include
the Transaction Info and Identify Approvers panels.
