For applicants, the external site has been enhanced to: 

1. Display active applications above the "Start a New Application" button which replaces the "Apply Now" button, hopefully reducing confusion and multiple applications being started. 
2. Give more information about the program deadlines on the external site above the application requirements to bring these to their attention. 
3. Displays incomplete action items in a separate list above complete action items to bring these more to the applicant's attention. 

For admissioncommittees: 

1. The OEM assessment can now be viewed within the evaluation tasks in your inbox. 
2. If desired, committees can begin using the Waitlist (alternate) functionality and publish this status as viewable on the external site. Your representatives on the Workday Education Group should have more information about this item. 

The new Workday Assistant functionality has been activated at UMMC. Ask the Assistant is designed to help you get answers to many routine questions as quickly as possible. The assistant understands natural language, so no need to know Workday terminology.

Workday will continue to add functionality to the tool, and we will highlight each release. Go ahead and ask the assistant, "Where is my most recent pay stub?", "My W2", "Change my name", "Update my address", or "How much time do I have off?" If you have a Purchase Requisition in progress, ask the Assistant, "Where's my stuff?"
