UZH Web Portal for Business Applications

The UZH Web Portal for Business Applications (in German “UZH-Webportal-Geschäftsapplikationen”) hosts a row of business processes that can be accessed at any point of time. It has one central design and search facility shared by all applications, which eases navigation between its various components.

Following applications are currently available on the UZH Web Portal for Business Applications:

Finance

• Web Reports, e.g. plan/actual comparisons
• Faktura light
• Kreditorenworkflow (KWF)
• Payment orders
• Transfers
• Master data queries / applications

Human Resources

• eHR
• Employee-Self-Services (ESS)

Access to the Web Portal for Business Applications is guaranteed for every UZH user. However, users will only see the applications for which they have been granted access rights.

Access to the UZH business applications web portal is via the following link:
https://businessservices.uzh.ch

For security reasons, registration is carried out using the UZH Active Directory user ID and password as well as the multi-factor authentication, which is also used in MS Teams for example. Enter your UZH e-mail address in the login mask and click "Next". You will then be automatically guided through the login process.

Remarks:

• Additional information about your Active Directory User ID and password is available on the login page or at www.identity.uzh.ch
• Refer to the section Browser Settings for more information on recommended settings.

Applications are represented on the Portal as individual apps, which are clustered into groups. Each app has a title, a subtitle and a picture as well as a counter (when appropriate, such as on the app “Pendenzen, Belegfreigabe”).

In the upper area of the Web Portal, in addition to the button for the start page, the activated groups are also visible at all times. These are used for navigation; clicking on the desired group takes you to the apps.

By clicking on your personal abbreviation at the top right, the personal profile can be edited.

• A: In the App Finder, apps can be added to the start page.
• B: Under "Settings" in the "area and pages" section, a tick controls whether the personal start page is displayed.
• C: Apps can be added to or removed from the start page via ‘Add tiles to my start page’. It is also possible to define personalised sections on the start page. Please note that this menu option only appears in the profile when the start page is displayed.
• D: Logout = Possibility to log out of the UZH Web Portal for Business Applications.

Finance apps are subdivided into four groups:

• FI Belegbearbeitung: Access to the Kreditorenworkflow (KWF) approval screen ("Pendenzen") and invoice overview ("Belegübersicht").
• FI Auswertungen: Individual links to reports available on the Reporting Portal (by cost centre, project, etc.) and related e-mail notifications.
• FI Belegerfassung: Generation of payment orders and transfers, access to Faktura light.
• FI Stammdaten: Link to the overview of financial master data (Finanzreferenzdatenliste) and inquiries for KWF roles and users.

The UZH Web Portal for Business Applications is supported by all common web browsers. However, the browser and especially browser settings will influence the user’s experience on most of the applications.

Finance apps

Following browsers are adequate to run FI apps: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Safari. Cookies have to be activated and if your browser offers that possibility, we recommend opting for an automatic deletion of website data after use.

IMPORTANT: Language settings of your operating system (especially Mac OS) and/or web browser have to be set to German in order to guarantee the correct execution of commands within the various Finance apps. Display of attachments and running the Faktura Light app may otherwise be compromised.

HR apps

Web applications of the HR department are to be launched within Citrix with Firefox to ensure full operability.
