Create Event Supplier Search Issue 

Several users have reported errors with the supplier name search field on the Strategic Sourcing Create Event page in SWIFT. When users would search for a supplier by supplier name, the supplier selected would not load on the page. The issue has been resolved.  All users should be able to search for and select a supplier by supplier name on the Create Event page as a result of the fix.


Little Time for SWIFT Training? Try Our Short Videos

Did you know that SWIFT Training has developed several short (less than 10 minute) videos to help you complete transactions in SWIFT? Watch videos at your convenience and just in time for completing a SWIFT transaction. Here's a testimony from one of our users:

'Earlier this year, I started a new position at DPS. The job includes SWIFT accounting functions I hadn’t done in previous positions. I was very excited to learn of the SWIFT Training Videos available on the MMB website. I was even more excited when I discovered how well produced the videos are. Viewing the training videos allowed me to work at my own pace and on my own schedule making it easy to work around meetings and other job responsibilities. I highly recommend the training videos for anyone new to SWIFT and for anyone needing a refresher.'  ~Maureen McGough-Pose

Training videos are being added regularly, and we welcome suggestions for new ones. You can find them here or at: https://mn.gov/mmb/accounting/swift/training-support/trainingvideos/


SWIFT Training and Resources

The SWIFT training team is offering online training through webinars, one-on-one sessions, and video tutorials.

  • Quick Reference Guides and Training Videos: Please check the Training and Support Resources page for the quick reference guides and training videos/ You will find reference guides covering all modules on SWIFT. We are adding new training videos in the most commonly used modules.

If you are newer to SWIFT, please consider taking the Introduction to SWIFT: Navigation webinar before enrolling in a module-specific webinar.
  • One-On-One Sessions: If you would like one-on-one training on a SWIFT module not offered through a webinar, please email [email protected] to request a one-on-one session.
