Important Updates

Coming in 2013

Message Center

The Message Center allows the PIR Help Desk to send informational and urgent messages to end users through the PIR interface. The Message Center icon is located on main navigation bar to the left of your login name. Each message has a subject, date, body, and expiration date. Messages are viewable until the expiration date at which time they are automatically removed. The Message Center icon color is black when there are no messages to view. The Message Center icon is blue when messages are present. Urgent messages inform PIR users of time sensitive and critical announcements such as PIR being unavailable for maintenance. Urgent messages display in full each time a user logs into PIR from the date the message is published until the expiration date. All non-urgent messages are considered informational and are used to convey non-critical announcements to PIR users. Both message types are displayed when you click the Message Center icon. Urgent messages are denoted by the urgent icon.

New Look – Available December 17, 2012

We are pleased to announce the launch of an updated PIR application on December 17th. The revamped style and cleaner organization will make it easier to navigate and will allow you to generate reports and create ALC Groups with ease. Also, be on the lookout for revised Computer Based Training that will give you an opportunity to walk through the basic functionality of the changes to PIR.
