Reviewing and approving your timecard in Kronos will soon look a little bit different. Effective Dec. 21, the Kronos application will be changing its current view known as the “Navigator” to “Classic” view.

Any personal Kronos favorites and/or shortcuts that you have created must be replaced with the latest Kronos URL that will be posted on Dec. 21  To access the Kronos classic view, go to the InSite homepage under Top Links and click on Kronos. 

The Classic view will have a different appearance as the menu options and links have changed and are located at the top of the page. However, the functionality is same when accessing your timecard to update and approve.

If you have an assigned manager role in Kronos, the Classic view only allows you to view one function at a time such as accessing a timecard, updating a schedule, running a genie and executing a report.

Click here for the Kronos FAQs that include the employee and manager role desk aids for the Classic view change. Additional information may be found on the Kronos Korner website.

Note: If you currently use the Kronos HTML view, there is no change to this application view and you may continue to use it.

If you need any assistance with updating your favorite and/or shortcut, you may contact the IT Service Desk at (888) 298-1222 or use the Service Now icon on your desktop to initiate a chat with a technician.
