myUFL – Required Maintenance on Sunday, May 7, 2006. Bridges must perform required maintenance on Sunday, May 7, 2006 from 6:00 am to 10:00 am. During the maintenance period, myUFL services will be unavailable.
Time and Labor – Managing Time Approval Through Static Groups. Portal outages On May 3 and 4 placed an additional burden on departments and supervisors to approve payable time for their employees. Suggestion box comments, calls to Bridges Help Desk and general call volume indicates many time approving supervisors have not taken advantage of creating their own static groups. Static groups allow faculty and staff to create a custom solution of putting only the employees they supervise in the static group. This enhancement significantly reduces the need to look through all the employees to find their own and the time to load the page is reduced – both positive outcomes. We encourage all faculty and staff that approve time to create their own static groups. See the instructional guide, referenced below, for assistance.
