Query Manager Authorization Form (FIN and HCM)

Overview

PeopleSoft Query Manager is a tool in Finance (FIN) and Human Capital Management (HCM) that allows users to create queries from a limited number of records (tables) that have been secured by SDCOE. The authorization form is used to request access to Query Manager FIN and/or Query Manager HCM for an employee at a district or charter school that uses PeopleSoft. The form lists Terms & Conditions and a Confidentiality Agreement (p.2). Access to Query Manager will be provided after the signed form is on file and training is completed.

FOR HCM USERS: It is highly recommended that you identify the appropriate people to have access to Query Manager HCM. For more information, please watch the February Third Thursday Demo: Query Manager HCM: Things To Consider (Feb 2018).
