New look coming to Infor

An Infor update scheduled to go live Sept. 19 will give the platform a new look. All current functionality will remain, while several features, including the “Home,” “My Profile” and “View Compensation” links,  will move from the top of the screen to a new navigation menu on the left side of the screen. A 10-minute training module designed to help staff navigate the new look is now available in the Infor learning management system. All Yale New Haven Health staff are encouraged to enroll by visiting SoHo 4.0 Upgrade Training on the intranet (in network only).

New Haven WIC Program recognized
