Info Station

We know you don't always have time in your busy schedule to keep up with the FST project via our regular communication channels, yet you still need to be able to find specific information when you need it. To help you navigate the plethora of FST information and get what you're looking for, we've organized this one-stop station for the info you need.

There's so much more to come!  We'll be adding to these resources steadily as the project progresses, so if there's something you don't see here, please let us know so we can add it!

For the Latest Project Information

We post updates every other week to this webpage under the "Key Activities" tab on the navigation bar above. You can choose Workday Financials for the latest on the project in general, or, choose from any of the workstreams you see listed for specifics on those areas of focus.  

For a Deep Dive on a Specific Subject

This website has a lot of general information and the latest updates, but you might be looking for anything and everything related to a specific area. In that case, we advise taking a look at both the UVAFinance blog and CommunityHub. 

The UVAFinance Blog

CommunityHub

Foundation Data Model (FDM)

• Create an FDM stream in the online CommunityHub. The general UVAFinance Community has lots of great information about a variety of FST-related topics, of course. But if you're really looking to hone in on a specific topic, such as FDM, you can create a stream that enables you to have content gathered for you by people and tags you've selected. Informative presentations from the FST Steering Committee and Advisory Group are tagged there as well, to make it easier to find presentations with the most recent information about FDM. Here's a link to a Community post with info about understanding feeds. It also includes guidance on how to set up your own stream. There's more info on custom streams available from Jive, the CommunityHub platform. Use the "fdm" tag when building your stream, or you can also always search the community with keywords or tags to find content of interest. Other FDM-related tags are “foundation data model,” “fdm governance,” “fdmproject,” and “fdm_project.” The FDM Community page can also be your go-to.
• Read FDM content in the UVAFinance blog. The blog also has lots of information about the FST projects' different areas. Using the search box in the upper left-hand corner of the bloglanding page, you can find posts related to your interests, such as FDM.
• Check out the latest Fiscal Administrators meeting slides and videos. Visit the Fiscal Administrators page and check out the latest meeting info for FDM content. Clicking on the link for each meeting’s slide deck is the easiest way to see what was discussed; check the agenda on the second page for anything FDM-related. If there’s content of interest to you, a link on the page will take you to where you can access the Zoom video. Access passwords accompany the recording link for each meeting.
• See the latest in the "Key Activities" section of the FST website. Go to Functional Workstream to see updates about several sub-areas of the Functional Workstream, including FDM. You can also get a high-level summary of what the FDM group’s work entails here.
