This communication is being sent to all Cardinal Financials and Cardinal HCM Core Users and Agency Leadership. |

This is a reminder that the Cardinal Financials and Human Capital Management (HCM) applications, including Employee Self-Service (ESS), will be unavailable due to a system outage for technical upgrades. The outage will occur from Saturday, March 1, at 6:00 a.m. through Monday, March 3, at approximately 6:00 a.m. During this time, you will not be able to access the system.
While this upgrade focuses on technical improvements, users of Cardinal Financials and HCM can expect some minor changes to the look and feel of the system. Additionally, there will be some enhancements to the Search features, designed to make your search experience more efficient and user-friendly.

|
Key Search Feature Improvements:
-
Recent Searches: Quickly repeat a recent search. Cardinal now automatically saves your searches, making it easy to go back and use them again.
-
Saved Searches: Save frequently used searches for future use. This feature eliminates the need to re-enter search criteria each time, saving you valuable time.
-
Add a New Value: The Add a New Value command is now a button located at the top right of applicable pages. This feature is typically used when adding a new Run Control ID or performing transactions like adding a New Regular Deposit.
-
Drill-In Icon: Select specific items from your search results using the "drill-in" icon. This allows for direct navigation to the information you need when your search returns multiple results.
 These enhancements will be available once the technical upgrade is complete. To learn more about using the new search features, click the buttons below to review the applicable job aids.

- There is a slight visual change to the timesheet.

An email notification will be sent to all Cardinal users when Cardinal is available for use following the upgrade. Thank you for your patience during this system outage.
Regards,
The Cardinal Team
