As of Nov. 4, UWinsite Finance users will encounter a slightly revamped home page. The change brings a series of user experience enhancements while maintaining system familiarity and preparing the back end for launch of UWinsite People in January.

The most noticeable change greets users right at the entrance. Gone is the extra click to reach the homepage; instead, visitors will land directly on a refreshed homepage featuring a new “Quick Actions” menu and tabs containing system features. This streamlined approach puts frequently used tools at users’ fingertips.

Navigation has also received attention. The “Navigator” side menu has evolved offering functions nestled within categories while “Quick Actions” displays a comprehensive view of system options from the homepage. This transition brings UWinsite Finance in line with the broader interface design, creating a more unified feel across UWinsite platforms.

A significant upgrade comes in the form of improved notification access. Users can now view multiple alerts at once, with a "Show All" option leading to a dedicated notifications page. This improvement keeps users better informed while integrating with the overall design aesthetic.

While UWinsite Finance users won’t see UWinsite People tiles on their home page until Jan. 6, the visual refresh creates a more cohesive experience for those navigating between systems. When UWinsite People is introduced to campus in the winter semester, both UWinsite People and Finance tabs will be accessible within the new unified platform.

UWinsite Finance users are encouraged to explore these changes this November. Becoming familiar with the new layout will help ensure a smooth transition and allow users to take advantage of the improved interface. A webpage has been set up to review the upcoming UWinsite Finance changes.

This update represents another step in the University’s ongoing efforts to improve the user experience and system efficiency across its digital platforms.
