Additional Notes and Workarounds
| Product/Service | Notes and Workarounds | Last Updated |
|---|---|---|
| External IT Services Status (Vendor Status Information) | UWF relies on many third-party systems to function. Many of these third-party systems have their own status webpages that the public can access. Click the link to the left to see the statuses and links for these pages. | N/A |
When users click YouTube links in PowerPoint presentations, a new tab will open in a browser. But instead of playing the YouTube video, the new tab will say, "Your browser is up to date." This is an ongoing widespread issue affecting multiple institutions.
As a workaround, users should delete ?v= from the YouTube link, and replace it with a single forward slash ( / ). Please see the following for an example:
| Original YouTube link | Updated YouTube link |
|---|---|
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q1_iQkppSs | https://www.youtube.com/watch/4q1_iQkppSs |
This workaround will open YouTube links properly, while YouTube investigates and resolves this issue.
Another workaround is to upload the PowerPoint presentation to Google Drive. Visit the following webpages for additional details:
- Working with Microsoft Office files in Google Drive
- Switching to Slides from Microsoft PowerPoint
- Adding videos to a Google Slide
| Sharing Jira Tickets | As of the newest Jira upgrade on 11/18/2025, users listed under Shared With on the right side of a Jira ticket can no longer “@ mention” other users. To share the ticket with another customer, please use the Share button on the right side instead. Once shared, the recipient will automatically receive notifications for all future comments. Service Desk Team members will still be able to @ mention other team members.
| |
| Timesheet Approvals | After the latest upgrades were installed in Banner over the weekend, users have been unable to access timesheet approvals, both as the original approver and as proxy. To fix this issue, please clear your browser cache and attempt access again. If you are still experiencing issues after clearing your cache for all time, please submit a Jira ticket or contact the Help Desk. |
Alert Handling
How do we define an alert
All of the following must apply:
- We can consistently reproduce an unexpected behavior.
- An issue is generating a number of responses from the UWF community.
- An alert is posted either on this page, or our main Technology Alerts page.
- Either ITS or the third-party vendors are aware of the issue.
- Either ITS or the third-party vendors are actively working to resolve the issue.
- Notices* will be posted if an outage is planned for high impact services.
* Other changes may occur during our posted maintenance windows that will not have a formal notice.
What to expect from an alert
ITS will make best efforts to provide the following for each alert:
- What is expected to occur
- What actually occurs
- What are the workarounds for the issue (if there are any)
- Which departments and third-party vendors are working to resolve the issue
- When was the alert posted
- When was the alert closed
