 It can be hard when you need help to find the right path while working in a new program. Have you looked in the AWD (AASHTOWare Project Directory)? Where can you go to get answers?
Our AWP Sys Admin team offers you options! You can email us at AWPAdmin@odot.oregon.gov, reach out to a super user, or talk with us live in our Teams Live AWP Support Chat open chat. We’ll help you find the answer and walk you through the process.
Speak to a live person. Work through your specific AASHTOWare Project issue on your contract. Our open Teams chat is available any workday Monday through Friday, between 9:00 a.m. and 12 Noon.
If we cannot answer your question, we will forward you to an ODOT subject matter expert to make sure you get the right answer.
 Our best tip this month: Check out the AWP website! We know that saying our new website is “amazing” may seem boastful. The truth is, we’re not the ones praising it! Our customers, people just like you, have discovered the AWP website is a great resource.
Discover what's available, including:
- Easy, clear access to training materials (CBTs and QRGs) for your role(s).
- Resources to help you use AWP on ODOT projects.
- Details about each AWP module used at ODOT.
- Contact information for the AWP System Admin group.
- A list of the AWP super users to help you.
- The link to our Teams Live AWP Support Chat.
- Access, support and communication request forms.
- Previous newsletters and more!
 Training on the AWP website is always available!
Computer based training (CBTs)
and quick reference guides (QRGs)
The same training tools you used in your in-person training are available online on the AWP website.
- Click the Training button and select your module (e.g., Construction). Choose your role to discover links to Workday for the CBTs. These simulations walk you through processes for your role. If you’ve taken the CBT, you can repeat it without starting from the beginning. Click Retake course, then click the link for View Course Again. Select any subject from the left side to review just a section of the process.
- Are you an external user? You’ll need to have a Workday account to view a CBT. You also need your account for any new CBT you take.
- For QRGs, click the Training button and select your module (e.g., Materials). Click on your role. Choose from the list of QRGs to review a specific process. These pdfs can be downloaded to your computer to view later, printed and kept at your desk, or whatever works best for you. Use them to become confident with the steps.
Remember: You can complete the Getting Started course at any time before training. This is a pre-requisite for all the CBTs and for all in-person training! Getting Started will give you a great 30,000-foot overview of AWP. You can take it as many times as you’d like. It is available in Workday using the link.

A big shout out to Xanthia Beard (RE Bend CAS) and Brooke Howell (RE Portland AS1) for taking care of the AWP training logistics at their offices including room scheduling and access to the building for staff. They made sure we had everything we needed for training to be successful.
You don't know how much that helps us and how grateful we are for you! Thank you!
