BI SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE SATURDAY 3 SEPTEMBER
On Saturday 3 September 2016, the Umoja Production BI system will be unavailable between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm (New York time) to facilitate essential maintenance and patching activity. The patch will further assist in improving performance of the BI system.

All ECC/Portal/SRM systems will operate as normal during this time. Please refer to the Umoja System Status page to view the maintenance plan and alerts.

UPDATE ON TIME MASS APPROVAL
Approving multiple leave requests just got easier! Whether you have multiple requests from one colleague or a group of staff members, you can now select one, some or all requests and approve them with a single click. To ease the process even further, the Time Mass Approval function allows you to sort and filter the list of pending requests to make the steps of identification, review, selection and approval more efficient.

Please see the new Tutorial and Quick Guide in the ESS/MSS page.
