What's New

CMSD Procurement Team Launches a New Supplier Self Service Webpage

The CMSD Procurement team is making tremendous progress with the launch of its new Supplier Self Service functionality. Not only is the team working to develop a Supplier Registration site and the Workday enabled Supplier Portal, the team has also launched the Supplier Self Service webpage located on the CMSD website under Departments, Procurement/Purchasing. The new webpage is being launched to provide critical information to current and future CMSD suppliers who will be required to use the Self Service features beginning August 2018.

The webpage will serve as the initial entry point for all suppliers seeking to do business with the District. Included on the webpage are: Supplier FAQs, Supplier Fact Sheet, Terms of Use and Disclaimer and other supplier related information.

The Workday Home Page is Changing

Effective July 30, 2018 the Workday homepage layout will change to resemble the Workday phone app. While the look and layout of the homepage will change, all the functionality will remain the same. The future layout will feature the following changes:

1. A welcome banner will appear above the desktop options
2. The Workday banner is now called Announcements and will now be on the left of the screen
3. Worklets will be shown as blue and white Applications (apps)
4. The inbox is shown in three places:
   1. Click the inbox icon in the upper right corner of the screen
   2. Click the inbox application/worklet
   3. Click Go to Inbox on the bittom left of the screen

Shown below is a comparison of the current and future homepage layout.

Once you open an Application (Worklet) using the Future View, the subsequent screens and functionality will be the same as before. This information can also be found on the CMSD Workday webpage under the What’s New with Workday. Click here to view.
