#WorkTribe
time spent thinking about & writing the science part of a grant: 60 hours.

time spent fighting with the online budget portal because Worktribe categories don't match the portal budget indirects and the Worktribe auto-calculated indirects don't add up: 20 hours.

seems about right?

Some weeks being a PI feels like 70% (trying to do) worktribe and 30% filling out doodle polls 🫠

They should award me a PhD when I successfully log in to fucking Worktribe.

Sweeties from Worktribe. That’s Christmas sewn up 😉

Will computing power know how to get Worktribe to talk to Unit4 in such a way that an invoice is treated the way we want it to be? Alas not, not sexy enough. Established systems, gaps, lag. This is the reality of admin. Ironically it might be safest from tech bros because they don’t know it’s there.

They won’t even let us use Worktribe to do our own costings these days. I preferred to fight with costing software myself rather than iterate with a 3 day turnaround time.

Oh and please complete a full peer-reviewed application and worktribe budget including letters of support from collaborators for a <3k project which you might not get funding for

All the funding records have disappeared from WorkTribe

I haven't used WorkTribe (I thought it was more for research management than storing publications -- showing my ignorance here) or Knowledge Commons. Let me know how you get on with the latter!

The poor soul having to cost all that white paint on worktribe

Oh hooray. Having worked out how to get round the bug in TFS, I have now found a new issue with worktribe which means I don't have the right numbers to enter into TFS. FML.

Monika's work with RIS underpins key universitysystems, such as Pure and Worktribe, ensuring they function smoothly and efficiently. The team engages with users to ensure compliance with institutional requirements, streamline workflows, provide technical support, and enhance system processes.

'Worktribe'? Jesus. I assume that was the rebrand after the Slaverygang app went out of business.

I have some stuff on Orcid & WorkTribe, but am looking to move to Knowledge Commons.

if my actual and full name is on the staff breakdown of the grant which was awarded, is this something they can even do? This is how I appear on the grant. I remember they also asked for my CV to cost me on the grant, etc. My name was in their worktribe costing tool.

1. No
2. I think it’s a way to formalise the primacy of finance in planning research.
3. Advise don’t copy/paste a costings total from Worktribe into another form. Think fields contain non-printing elements. Recently did this & was unable to figure out in time why submission wouldn’t go through 🥵

Nothing fills me with more fury in my job than trying to use Worktribe to develop and cost a research project. It is such a user unfriendly system for anyone not fluent in finance management speak.
