Bookmarks
Due to back-end URL changes, users must update any browser bookmarks they have previously saved to specific pages on the UCPath portal site.
With the UCPath portal, the Bookmark feature will be removed. Users can add new bookmarks using their web browser's bookmark/favorite feature. PeopleSoft favorites, available to transactors with access to the PeopleSoft Homepage will continue to be available.
What's Changing
Users will enjoy a modernized interface with improved navigation and mobile access.
- Top Navigation: The previous left-hand menu will be replaced with a streamlined top navigation bar that aligns with UC’s digital brand.
- New Sub Pages: Employees will have easy access to pages for Personal Information, Income & Taxes, Benefits & Retirement, Accruals & Leaves.
- Manager Hub: Managers will benefit from a new centralized hub to access team information quickly.
- Transactor Hub: Transactors will enjoy a new consolidated hub for all their tools.
- Mobile-Friendly: The new layout offers improved functionality across both desktop and mobile devices.
- Alerts & Notices: A new alerts section will support multiple messages with clearer formatting.
