PEOPLESOFT SUPPORT PROCESS

Once we are live in PeopleSoft, how will users obtain support with question or issues? Here is a summary of the steps users should follow. More information can also be found on the P eopleSoft Support site:

1.      Review Training Materials – If you have questions, the extensive library of training materials contains a wealth of information that may have the answer to what you are looking for. The materials may be found in our PeopleSoft Training and Resources Site.

2.      Contact your Super User - If training materials did not provide the solution you were looking for, remember that Super Users have received advanced PeopleSoft training. Here is the Super User Directory .

3.      Contact your Timekeeper/Leave Administrator - For questions related to submission and correction of timecard and absence requests, a designated Time Keeper/Leave Administrator has been assigned.  The Timekeeper/Leave Administrator Directory will be available soon in the PeopleSoft Support site.

4.      Request Access If you believe you don’t have the correct PeopleSoft access, please follow the Access Request Process . If unsure, consult with your Super User.

5.      Contact the IT Service Desk – If you are experiencing technical issues, such as not able to log into PeopleSoft, please follow the IT Incident Process, or contact the IT Service Desk at 956-882-2020 or 956-665-2020.

 

If the above steps do not address your question or issue, please work with your Super User to escalate it to the appropriate expert at UTRGV. If required, a Service Incident or Request will be created and assigned to the appropriate PeopleSoft Business Analyst. You may also find these steps in our PeopleSoft Support site .
