Login & Authorization for FAMIS

 What you can do in FAMIS is determined by your assigned user role. We follow the principle of least privilege in granting FAMIS roles, which means that users are given the lowest level of access required to perform their essential job functions. The FAMIS Role Authorization form must be approved and signed by the authorizing director or assistant/associate director and emailed to worqs@austin.utexas.edu .

FAMIS Documentation 

FAMIS, Facilities Services’ work order and project management system, is extensively integrated with the university’s mainframe applications. This comprehensive program has allowed us to improve our business processes, resulting in work orders and capital projects completed correctly, more efficiently and with higher customer satisfaction.

Desk Instructions (DIs)   

Step-by-step, screen-by-screen guides show how to perform common tasks in FAMIS. We have recently begun compiling and publishing departmental DIs in addition to the generic FAMIS DIs. All DI documents are in PDF format and can be viewed through a web browser or downloaded to your computer.

Configuration Tables   

Most FAMIS forms use lookup tables for the List of Values (LOV) buttons in FAMIS. This section provides details on frequently used picklists.
