Summary

The Worklist Manager

The Worklist Manager is the central place for originators, approvers, and super-approvers to view and take action on pending transactions. The Worklist uses your PC Leland, Mac Leland, or WebAuth login to show you only the transactions you may take action on currently.

To log into the Worklist Manager, go to http://worklist.stanford.edu. When you log in, you'll see the main approver worklist with any transactions awaiting your approval. The My Approvals tab is covered in detail in the Approver Tutorial. The My Pending Items tab takes you to the items you originated. Click on any of the blue labels to jump to more information about that feature.

Navigation Tabs The My Approvals tab shows you any transactions you may take action on. These are transactions waiting for your approval. The My Pending Items shows you any transactions you created in PeopleSoft which are still awaiting approval.
ID Link

Each transaction on your Worklist has an ID Link. Click this link to take you to the Transaction Summary where you may review the transaction you originated.

About ID Links that are inactive
Sometimes you may see an item on your worklist that has an inactive ID Link. This is because an approver is already reviewing this item. You may not review an item that someone else is already reviewing. Disregard this item for now. Use the Refresh List button later to determine if the approver has taken action, or checked the item back in.
User Name Your name is diplayed based on your SUNet ID login through PC-Leland, MacLeland, or WebAuth. Only items that belong to you will be displayed on your worklist.
Refresh List Refreshes the items displayed in your worklist. This button is especially important to use after having your worklist up for a while. Clicking Refresh List ensures that you are looking at the current transactions availablereview.
Help Takes you to a special help page for Originators.
End Session Logs you out of the Worklist Manager and checks in any items you reviewed but did not take action on.
Sort By The sort feature allows you resort your worklist by origination date, originator name, ID number, or transaction type.The originator name sort is used by approvers, but will not change the sort order for you since you originated all of these transactions. The default sort for the worklist is by origination date with the most recent items at the bottom of the list. This feature will be discussed further in the next topic.

While an item is on your My Pending Items worklist, it is also on the My Approvals worklist for one or more approvers.
