On Tuesday, August 26 at 7pm ITS will be implementing a new feature in the High Risk Data Attestation that gives you increased visibility into where your personal information is coming from, and a better understanding of how to update it.  

ITS is deploying a new tool to Windows users at WCM that makes it easier to view vital system information at a glance.

Windows users: Starting at 10:00 PM on August 26, you will see Host Name, Serial Number, and OS information displayed in the bottom-right corner of your screen. This information will appear on a static basis and is intended to help streamline support and troubleshooting.

You can now report suspicious emails to ITS by using the Report button in Outlook:

Outlook for Windows & Web

Effective today, WCM faculty, staff, and students can access the Tripartite Directory mobile app, thanks to a joint initiative among NewYork-Presbyterian, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Weill Cornell Medicine. 

The Tripartite Directory provides access to colleagues' contact information across all three institutions. This app is a step forward in our shared mission to eliminate organizational barriers and foster more collaboration.  

In the next few weeks, ITS will be changing the way you manage spam. Effective August 26, spam management will transition from Proofpoint (antispam.weill.cornell.edu) to your Microsoft Outlook account.

Data entry in Microsoft Excel can be time consuming, but there are ways to quickly input information into a worksheet that won’t take up your whole day. Enter Flash Fill, a feature that automatically fills data into columns when Excel senses a pattern.

Starting July 16, changes will be implemented in the way you can send encrypted emails via Outlook to colleagues outside of WCM. Sensitive emails must be encrypted when contacting authorized external users (e.g., vendors) to protect data; however, patient communication must only be performed through the Weill Cornell Connect patient portal.    

Microsoft just recently released a new version of your online Office 365 account. Starting Tuesday, July 1, your account will look different the next time you log into o365.weill.cornell.edu.

What’s changed

When you log into your O365 account, you will be redirected to the new Apps tab, which contains all the web versions of your Microsoft apps:
