Time Entry Transformation Web App Launch!

After many months of planning, we are piloting the new web-based time entry application with Stearns County starting September 10th!

The pilot will use production data and integrate with the SSIS desktop and backend databases.

Features will include:

• Log-in/Log-out

• Select or change database (for users with multiple database access)

• Create and submit new time records

Testing update:

Our first round of User Acceptance Testing (UAT) included 35 testers from 19 agencies. A few issues were reported:

• Resolved: “Interviewed Alone” question (from ‘Contact With’ section) could not be deselected – reported by 3 agencies, retested by 1.

• Resolved: UAT site not loading – reported and retested by 6 agencies.

• In progress: Microsoft Entra SSO may auto-log in with agency email credentials – reported by 3 agencies, under review.

Below are the reported defects and the noted current status or workaround for the Time Entry Web App

Create new time record: Cannot deselect Yes/No in the 'Contact With' portion of the 'Interviewed Alone' section once answered.	Status: Resolved
Log-in: During log in, tries to auto-sign user into URL using their county credentials	User can only be logged into one browser at a time. Use a different browser, or in the same browser log into office.com with agency email → log out → go to Prod TET URL → log in with SSISUserID@partner.mn.gov.
