Custodian EID Added to OASIS Reports - As part of the UWFT data cleanup efforts, the Custodian EID field has been added to OASIS reporting to assist departments with identifying asset records missing custodian EID information. The EID will be used for mapping asset records to their respective custodians at the time of data conversion to Workday. This will substantially reduce manual updates needed for issuing assets to custodians post go-live. Please run Ad Hoc reports to ensure assets in "A" Status under your respective org codes have been assigned an EID. If you have any questions, please contact EIO at eio@uw.edu or reach out to one of our team members directly.
Monday, July 18, 2022 - OASIS will be offline for departmental users effective 07/18/2022 through 08/08/2022 due to fiscal year-end closing procedures. If you have any questions or need assistance, please submit a support ticket to eio@uw.edu.
