As with all DAL requests, DDCs should have their RFOs access for themselves, and RFOs should have their DDCs request access for themselves.
Financials Support Services has created the Adaptive Budget Level (ABL) hierarchy in UCF Financials in preparation for Workday Adaptive Planning (Adaptive) go-live. This update will allow users to be granted the appropriate level of access in Adaptive. Access will only be provided after responsible fiscal officers (RFOs) and deans, directors, and chairs (DDCs) have requested security access roles on the Departmental Authorization List (DAL) for users for whom they are responsible and after those users have completed the required online training.
Note: Adaptive Planning allows only one type of access. Choose only one authorization code that is most appropriate on the DAL. Adding the appropriate code to only one department or project is sufficient for requesting access. Do not request both authorizations for one individual.
The following resources are now available to assist RFOs and DDCs request access:
Information related to training for the new Adaptive Planning system can be found on the Knight Vision website at https://knightvision.it.ucf.edu/adaptive-planning/.
Training for Workday Adaptive Planning is based on a user’s authorized security access required for their job role and responsibility. Users interested in obtaining access to this tool are encouraged to consult with their departmental budget director first. General information regarding types of security access roles, how to request access and how to get started is on the Adaptive webpage. To stay up to date on upcoming training opportunities, visit the Learning application in Workday.
The required webcourses will provide additional information on the OfficeConnect plug-in tool. We also have the following helpful resources:
Note: OfficeConnect may prompt you as software updates become available. Users are encouraged to select Yes when prompted.
To obtain security access to the Adaptive Planning tool, all users must complete the required online training and complete the required Ethics form. View our Addy Tip: DAL Security Access Codes and Descriptions to view required coursework for Adaptive Planning Reporting (ADR) and Adaptive Planning Standard (ADS) security access roles. More information about how to register for online webcourses can be found on the FSS About Training webpage. Consult with your RFO/DDC regarding requesting DAL access once all training requirements are met. Note: A user can only be assigned one Adaptive security access role (not both).
Adaptive Planning provides two types of reports – HTML (Matrix) and OfficeConnect (complex and formatted) reports. The OfficeConnect reports will have a Microsoft Excel suffix (.xlsx) at the end of the report name. UCF reports will be available under the following categories (with possible additions in the future):
