PeopleTools 8.56 update
The PeopleTools 8.56 update weekend has been changed from April 6-7 to June 1-2, 2019 to allow more system testing time. All PeopleSoft users will start receiving messages about one month prior to the go-live date with more information on what to expect. The update includes new homepage and navigation options. Please note that PeopleSoft and MyU will be down during the update.
Housekeeping tip for Astra event schedulers
Events in Astra Schedule must have an event status of “Scheduled” in order for them to appear on the Astra calendars. Events with a status of “Incomplete” (i.e., those missing Event Type, Customer, Customer Contact, or a room assignment on any meeting) will not display on the calendars, making the room appear available. Therefore, if the scheduler attempts to book that room for another event, they will find the room is actually unavailable, because the “Incomplete” event is holding the room.
When creating events, schedulers should take a moment to ensure the event record status is “Scheduled” and the event displays on the calendars. Additionally, schedulers can proactively find and resolve“Incomplete” events they may have unintentionally created by filtering for “Incomplete” events. Instructions for how to find incomplete events in Astra are available at the Astra iCoP website.
