Fluid Requisitions Live - Classic Unavailable This Summer

PPS and Northwestern IT hosted two webinar training courses in January to review Fluid Requisition functionality in NUFinancials. Previously, Northwestern used the “classic” view when requisitioning but has transitioned to the “fluid” view to provide a smoother end-user experience. Currently both fluid and classic views are available in NUFinancials; however, the classic view will be unavailable as of June 12.
