Creating, changing and closing a case

Creating af case

  1. Use this form, which ensures that we have all the information needed to create a case for you. Alternatively, you can contact our mailbox:  workzonesupport@cc.au.dk or one from our local TAP support.
  2. When you have submitted the form, we will create the case for you in the backend system.
  3. We will send you an email with a link to the case. Click the link and you will now enter the backend version of Workzone, which you can just exit again.

Changing case details

Please inform your TAP support, if you need to make changes to a case, for example:

  • If there are other AU employees who need access to the case (only if the case has restricted access rights).
  • If there are AU employees who need to be taken off the case (only if the case has restricted access rights).
  • If there are external parties who need to be added to the case (they do not gain access).
  • If a research application is successful and becomes a grant.
  • If you are no longer the person responsible for the case, for example if you leave AU or change your areas of responsibility. 

Closing a case

  • The case or project has been closed.
  • Send us an email and ask the TAP support to close the case.

 

For MAC users

As a MAC user, you need an add-on application called Horizon Client. You will be informed how to install this, when you receive a message about your user registration in Workzone or you can find the instruction on how-to below.

You can access the Workzone web client in Google Chrome, via this link: https://workzone.uni.au.dk/app/client/. Note that not all features work on Mac operating system, e.g. integration with Office programs.

If you need to be able to work with Workzone from Office programs, create a case for HR Data and Digitization on support.au.dk which will grant you access via a Horizon Client that gives you a remote desktop for a virtual Windows 10 machine. This access may only be used for filing in Workzone.
