Office Address in UT Directory Now Populated by Workday
Until now, the UT Directory derived Office Address from the Campus Mail Code for each worker. As of now, the UT Directory populates this information from the Primary Work Address displayed in Workday, which is the location of the primary position for each worker. Office addresses for remote workers or workers whose location is only listed as a site, such as UT Main Campus, will not be displayed. Workers who wish to can change their office address displayed in their UT Directory information by entering an Alternate Work Address in Workday. Workers can do this by editing their Work Contact Information. To learn more on how to edit Workday data passed to UT Directory, please view the entry, How do I change information that appears in the University Directory?, in the askUS knowledge base.
