Subject: Tech Briefing: To Know and Do - Thursday, November 30, 2023
This week’s Enterprise Technology & Services Tech Briefing contains new information, and reminders.
Introducing Your Workday Change Liaison Network
To Know: We created the Workday Change Liaison Network to ensure all campuses have an on-campus contact to direct Workday feedback and questions. The Organizational Change and Training Team (OC&T) will connect with the Change Liaisons monthly to gather your feedback and help us gain insights into future training and communications topics.
The role of the Change liaison is to:
- Help support and foster communications within the campus.
- Gather feedback from campus constituents and share it with the Workday Change Team.
- Fill communications gaps and address questions to avoid grapevine information.
To Do:
- Please view the change liaisons for your campus.
- If you missed the Workday Info Session in September, please watch the replay. Look for our next Info Session in the Spring!
- For questions, please contact your campus's ERP Program Team or the Change Liaison.
Zoom to Teams Transition - Feedback Survey (Reminder)
To Know: To reduce costs, the University System of New Hampshire (USNH) is planning a transition from a multi-platform video conferencing environment - Zoom and Microsoft Teams - to a single offering, Microsoft Teams, for most use cases. We will solicit feedback to determine the requirements currently met by Zoom to ensure if and how Teams can meet those needs. We will confirm the scope of this transition early this winter to provide users with plenty of time to prepare for this transition, as our current Zoom contract expires in Summer ‘24.
To Do: You can use this form to provide feedback: https://forms.office.com/r/1wCfFJdQuG. The deadline to provide input is this Friday, December 1.
USNH Systems Status Website (Reminder)
To Know: The USNH Systems Status website provides timely information about scheduled maintenance, unplanned service interruptions, and the status of major IT services across all USNH institutions.
To Do:
- To visit the USNH Systems Status website, go to https://status.usnh.edu.
- Subscribe to get notified by email when there are updates to service status.
Adobe PDF Browser Editing No Longer Automatically Available Using OneDrive and SharePoint Online Starting December 4 (Reminder)
To Know: On Monday, December 4, the Adobe Document Cloud PDF editing feature within the OneDrive and SharePoint web applications will no longer be automatically enabled as this feature interferes with how SharePoint opens read-only PDF documents. You can still edit and share documents using the desktop version of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Creative Cloud (which contains Acrobat), which are available for all institutionally managed computers.
To Do: To continue editing Adobe PDFs, download and install Adobe Acrobat. You can then still share the PDF using OneDrive or SharePoint.
- Follow this link for instructions on installing Adobe Acrobat on your university-managed computer: https://td.usnh.edu/TDClient/60/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=2417.
- You can also re-enable Adobe Document Cloud for yourself by following the instructions at this link: https://td.usnh.edu/TDClient/60/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=4796
