WalkMe Frequently Asked Questions
When the WalkMe layer of technology is added to participating UC San Diego systems, we rely on the WalkMe web browser extension to deliver this functionality to end users.

WalkMe has been selected by the Enterprise Systems Renewal (ESR) program as UC San Diego’s Digital Adoption Platform (DAP). Starting with the launch of Kuali Research, WalkMe is used to augment training and accelerate system adoption by adding in-system help when you need it.
When applied, it takes the guesswork out of new systems and processes by providing step-by-step guidance overlaid onto the user interface. These guided walkthroughs, along with direct access to static help content and ways to request support, will be made available, on-demand, as you learn the system.
As systems come online, the inclusion of WalkMe will be referenced in project communications and the system go-live announcement.

No, UC San Diego's WalkMe service is configured at the program level to collect Engagement data, which WalkMe describes as usage statistics to inform administrators of how WalkMe content is being leveraged by the user community.
Interactions between the user and the application, or content housed within the application, are not being tracked nor are they being sent to WalkMe.
