Going online – General Information We’re going to log on to Adaptive now… The historical data we are using is real. We are in a sandbox environment. 2019-2020 Actuals may have been altered. You will see detailed information in your cost centres (security has been setup to align with what you have access to in Workday). Don’t worry about playing around - go ahead and enter, and change the data. Run reports. We will send out a new URL when we go live in the Production environment. Unlike the first 3 training modules, we will log directly into Adaptive for this session and you can follow along with the instructions. Caveat: if you’re exploring and then run into an error… we may not be able to identify what you’ve done. Not to worry – it’s a sandbox. Let us know, and we’ll try and recreate the error to see what’s going on.
