posted by Peyri Herrera [ updated ]

Fluid ESS Sandbox URL: https://esspt.erp.sdcoe.net

Come one, come all for the chance to check out the new version of PeopleSoft Employee Self-Service (ESS) with the Fluid upgrade, prior to the actual Go Live on October 7, 2019. Any employee can log into the Fluid ESS Sandbox to see the new way to access your paycheck information. Please pass this information on to all your of your organization’s employees so they have the chance to practice navigating the new interface so they are ready at Go Live. The Fluid ESS Sandbox will be available through October 31, 2019.

Fluid ESS Sandbox Directions:
You can use a computer, smartphone, or tablet. It is highly recommended that you clear your cache first.

Go to https://esspt.erp.sdcoe.net from any location. Remember, this is the Sandbox URL, not the live version of PeopleSoft.
Log in with your Production credentials (your 6-digit Employee ID and regular PeopleSoft password).
Upon login, you will go to the home page, where you will immediately see your pay information. If your organization uses Absence Management, you will also see your absence balances.

TIP: If you are trying this from a smartphone, practice turning your phone horizontally to see how the layout changes!

Reminders:

On October 7 you will see the change to the real version of PeopleSoft.
The PeopleSoft ESS URL is not changing. You will continue to use https://ess.erp.sdcoe.net to access PeopleSoft ESS.
The Fluid upgrade improves your user experience. No new functionality is added in PeopleSoft ESS as a result of this upgrade. In other words, you will have access to the same functions as the current version of PeopleSoft.

Communications Toolkit available to help your organization communicate the PeopleSoft Fluid upgrade

posted Sep 11, 2019, 5:07 PM by Peyri Herrera [ updated Sep 11, 2019, 5:08 PM ]

A change to PeopleSoft is coming on Monday, October 7, 2019! In our next PeopleSoft upgrade we will be turning on the Fluid User Interface, referred to as "Fluid.” Fluid will change the look-and-feel of PeopleSoft, including a new way to navigate. All employees will see the new user interface introduced by Fluid, including employees who log in to view their paychecks and perform other self-service functions.

The San Diego County Office of Education created a Communications Toolkit to help your organization communicate with your employees about upcoming changes to the interface for PeopleSoft. The files include information about Fluid, what it will mean for employees, and where employees can get more details. These are only templates and should be adjusted with information specific to your organization when appropriate. We hope these resources help you get the word out about this important update.

The Communications Toolkit is available at http://crc.sdcoe.net/projects/fluid.

About 50 PeopleSoft users from 18 organizations came together with the SDCOE PeopleSoft Support Team for a PeopleSoft User Group Meeting on September 10, 2019. We shared information on a variety of topics, including our PeopleSoft Support model, the upgrade to Fluid on October 7, and the PeopleSoft Conference. We also provided updates about recent PAF changes, a new HR Dashboard coming this month, the PO Form project, budget checking, and the PeopleTools upgrade scheduled for December 23. Big thanks to Rick Roberts from Grossmont for providing a Customer Advisory Board presentation. The presentation slides are available on our User Group Meetings page.

PeopleSoft Conference is on Thu, 10/24/19: “The More You Know”

posted Sep 9, 2019, 5:17 PM by Peyri Herrera

On Thursday, October 24, 2019 from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm the San Diego County Office of Education is hosting a free one-day PeopleSoft conference for the organizations that use PeopleSoft Finance and Human Capital Management. This conference is being planned by representatives from Del Mar, Escondido Elementary, Julian Elementary, Ramona, San Dieguito, Santee, and SDCOE. The PeopleSoft Customer Advisory Board (CAB) is also involved in the planning. This year's theme is "The More You Know" and there will be 32 unique sessions. All details are at http://crc.sdcoe.net/peoplesoftconference.

Conference Contacts: Please help organize your conference team and ensure that all registrations are complete by Wednesday, September 18.

What’s new this year?

More advanced topic, more "pinpointed" topics
A handful of beginner topics to help those new to PeopleSoft
Three specific hands-on Excel topics to help you do more with your queries: Pivot tables, vlookups, macros
CAB presence at sessions to listen and collaborate
50-minute sessions (instead of 60 minutes)
The conference will be a full-day but will end a bit earlier at 3:00 pm
Like last year - THIS IS NOT A TRAINING EVENT. The conference is for discussions, sharing information, and networking. Attendees should be involved in current business processes. This should be a team comprised of staff with HCM and Finance backgrounds (unless your district only uses either HCM or Finance).
Like last year - Please work with your organization's Conference Contact to coordinate your registration.
Like last year - Please plan to carpool to the event. Carpools of 4+ will be offered free valet parking in Fleet Services.

For questions about your organization’s Conference Team, please refer to your Conference Contact. For general questions about the event, please email Lori Free-Trout (lfreetrout@sdcoe.net).
