          <p>We
          are almost a week into the implementation of PeopleSoft Finance 9.2.  THANK YOU ALL for your patience as the
          glitches and bumps in the upgrade have been smoothed out.</p>
          
          <p>Financial
          Services and DoIT have created a handy FAQ guide to help users resolve some of
          the access issues in both 9.2 and the REX Finance Reporting platforms.  We will post these and update with new tips
          in <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/display/TAP/Toolkit+for+Administrative+Professionals" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">TAP</a> for easy
          reference.  To receive email updates from
          the REX and 9.2 update pages in TAP, click on the Watch link.  It is the eyeball icon located in the top
          right corner of all TAP pages. </p>
          
          <p>To expedite any issues in 9.2 or REX Finance,
          please include the full navigation path and parameters (and error if one is
          generated) or a screen shot attachment within the RT ticket so we can recreate
          and research the problem.  There are now
          dedicated RT links for <a href="https://financialservices.umbc.edu/contact-us/fsa-help/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">9.2</a> and <a href="https://rex.umbc.edu/rex-general-request/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">REX Finance Reports</a>. </p>
          
          <p>NOTE:  We
          are still scheduling 9.2 Trainings. 
          Please visit the <a href="https://my.umbc.edu/groups/training" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Training</span></a> page on the UMBC
          portal to schedule a session</p>

            version of your internet browser, especially if using Chrome to avoid
            performance/other issues in 9.2.</p>

            <p><span>●<span>      </span></span>If you can’t run REX
            reports because the drop down menus are non-responsive, make sure you are
            using the most up to date version of Internet Explorer.</p>
            <p> </p>
            
            <p><span>●<span>      </span></span><span>In cases where the system navigates you
            outside of the WorkCenter, t</span>he Navigator Bar (located on top right hand corner of any page, which looks like a
            compass will bring up a right hand side menu) can be used to quickly pull up the
            WorkCenter tiles - instead of going to the Homepage first. The Navigator can
            be used to access pages, too, in addition to the tiles.</p>
            <p><span>●<span>      </span></span>When working from
            within a WorkCenter, to expand your view on the central page, click on the
            &lt;&lt; icon in the top right hand corner of the WorkCenter navigation pane
            (on the left hand side). This will hide the WorkCenter navigation. To bring
            it back, click on the &gt;&gt; icon that took its place while hidden.</p>
