What do I need to file?

You only need to file emails/documents in relation to contractual and administrative aspects of a task or research project.

See examples of cases that must be filed at the department.

Data gathered during the actual research process does not need to be filed in Workzone.

How do I file?

At the department, we have established a group of administrative staff who have been trained in using Workzone and who may help you create a case. To ensure that we have all the necessary information from the start, please fill out this form.

We will send you a link for the case once we have created it.

What are my responsibilities?

When a member of administrative staff has helped you create a case, you are responsible for ensuring that all relevant documents and correspondence are filed in Workzone. This could be emails, documents and subsequent notes from conversations or other correspondence (if any) in relation to the case in question. It is possible to file directly from your mailbox.

See examples of case types for researchers.

How do I close a case?

When a case is completed, you are responsible for asking the administrative staff to close it.

How can I get help and support?

If you have questions in relation to filing, you may ask the administrative staff for help.
