FAQ from Financial FormsNirvana Users and Division Administrators
Do
I use the Access Request Form to get access to Financial
FormsNirvana?
No, a new requester will work with an
existing preparer or the Division Administrator to prepare the FNA
form. Current preparers wishing to
modify their profiles should click on Use a Template, then FNA form.
After the Division Administrator has approved it is then routed, as
appropriate, to our office for approval.
Financial FormsNirvana is unique in that it provides online
access request for improved decentralized management.
When
I submit a FNA, it is returned with error message "You Did Not
Provide a Valid X.500 Username/Password Combination." What do I do
next?
The FNA form requires the requester to
enter in the internet ID and internet password, which must be
different than your enterprise systems password.
If you need help resetting your internet password, contact OIT
Tech Help at 1-HELP.
My Enterprise
Systems Password has expired, how do I change it?
Financial FormsNirvana requires an
Enterprise Systems Password for access.
This password is user defined and expires every 100 days. To change your password go to http://umn.edu/validate,
enter your Internet ID and Enterprise Systems Password, then click on
Update Account, then Password Change.
A
FormsNirvana user terminated from our department, how do I delete the
access to our division?
The Division Administrator is
responsible for removing users from the division when access is no
longer needed (terminations, transfers or just plain change in job
duties). Divisions Administrators use the FND template for
the appropriate division(s).
