What is happening
Worktribe will stop sending project and award data to ICIS around 28 October. Worktribe also requires a configuration upgrade during the cutover weekend. The exact downtime is still to be confirmed and will becommunicated as soon as it is known.
What you can still do
- Continue working in Worktribe throughout the freeze. You can still build and prepare award and project records. Everything flows through to Atlas automatically when the integration restarts on w/c 16 November.
- Continue doing research – the freeze affects financial transactions, not research activity.
- Grant applications can still be submitted to funders.
What you cannot do
- Raise Purchase Orders or transact against a project code during the freeze.
- Set up new awards in Atlas until the system is live from w/c 10 November.
Grant application deadlines
If you have a funder deadline in late October or early November, complete costings and approvals before the freeze.
Worktribe downtime
During the freeze there will be a short period when Worktribe itself is also unavailable. We expect this to be a few days at most. This is needed to update Worktribe’s configuration to map to the new Atlas Chart of Accounts and to carry out some other background work. We are still testing exactly how long this will take and will communicate clearer dates as soon as we know.
