GUIDE
Tenant unique instance of WD system
- Database secures data through password-controlled access
- Each tenant has unique URL
- Tenants are configurable to meet unique business needs Production Tenant the environment in which we manage and store a customer's live, active data. Since a Production tenant often houses confidential employee information and other sensitive business information, security is critical.
- Live in WD, official system of record
- Can be binding legal transactions Sandbox Tenant helps administrators and consultants develop and test new features, customizations, and configurations before deploying into the main production tenant. ----Data located in the Sandbox tenant is typically a copy of the data in the Production tenant.
- Experimentation
- Usually copy of production from previous Friday Transactions in SX NOT official Sandbox Preview Tenant tenant is also a copy of the Production tenant, but it includes added functionality that will be available in upcoming Workday releases. The purpose of a Sandbox Preview tenant is to help customers understand both their pre-existing Workday system and additional functionality that will be available in future release. This
allows customers to make strategic decisions about when and how to uptake new features. Copy of production tenant that is NOT regularly refreshed Early access to new functionality in WD - closer to release cycle Implementation Tenant provide a secure space for testing, prototyping, and training. Customers may have multiple implementation tenants for testing integrations, loading legacy data, and conducting unit and end-to-end user testing. AKA agpbaseload / empty / foundation tenant Demonstration Tenant Types (3) GMS tenant demonstration tenant containing sample, prepopulated data for a fictitious customer. You can use this tenant for research, learning, and testing for Workday HCM and Workday Financial Management deployments.(united) NEVER LOAD CUSTOMER DATA IN GMS Used for sample data, continued learning, and running sample scenarios The Alma Mater University (AMU) tenant contains preconfigured demonstration data for educational/student customers. (higher ed, college) Green Oak Valley (GOV) tenant is a demonstration tenant available for government customers Customer Central tenant auto-provisioned tenant that contains access to deployment tools. It sits over all nonproduction tenants to make deployment more efficient, consistent, and expedient. Configure settings in the agpbaseload tenant to enable access to the Customer Central tenant Takes data from one place and push into another Gateway to access the new tools and to manage interactions between tenants Setup Data
You can only update existing data BP (web service) Triggers a business process BPs control some tasks that are loadable Can load data from configured subprocesses Get (Web service) You can extract data from the tenant. Reference ID uniquely identify specific instances of a business object in Workday
- Primary identifier for instances of objects in workday
- the identifier remails constant across all WD environments Each reference ID has a what? Reference ID Type Reference ID Type The attribute name that distinguishes the business object what do you search to see all ID types Maintain Integration ID (report) Employee ID associated with BO of employee, ex: applicant ID Reference ID of these objects are their respective IDs Workday ID (WID) globally unique identifier (GUID) that Workday automatically generates on all customer data. Workday IDs consist of a 32-character, nonchanging string, automatic Unique for EACH environment Except WID for org visibility = global WID, same for all tenants Only used when when no other ID is available Instance ID
internal integration ID that Workday generates (e.g., 216$1). The first numbers identify object class or type, after $ is instance # Used for troubleshooting when logging support cases - one instance Do NOT load data off of instance ID To view: RA on object > Instance External ID a two-part unique identifier that is controlled by an external/3rd party system and can change. Used in integrations. External IDs consist of: A system ID, which identifies an integration system in Workday. For example, ADP is a system ID for a tenanted integration system between Workday and ADP payroll system. A value which identifies a business object instance. For example, W-001 is the external ID value for the western region instance of the sales organization. BP Process Exception Audit Report report to find all business process definitions with critical errors WD automatic background process every hour to find exceptions on BP defs If BP broken, will automatically send Fix Business Process task to BP admins and provides link to correct definition Organization Exception Audit Report Allows you to view organizations for which there are errors or warnings. Organization Type Exception Report Allows you to view organization types for which there are errors or warnings. It then displays the organization type, such as Supervisory or Company, that has the problem and a description of the problem or solution. Audit Locations for Membership in Organizations Allows you to view each organization hierarchy that allows business sites and shows each business site that has a membership problem. Shows business sites that are in hierarchy more than once OR not included in hierarchy at all Reorg > Assign Locations benefit of copying reports?
Google cloud messaging Can also restrict mobile push to specific tenants such as Sandbox Preview Notification delivery settings - WD to send notifications in language specified by worker's default locale preference If none specified, will send notifications in base language of tenant NOT settings related to workday account creation, security authentication feature (one-time passcode & pw reset), or scheduled task alert notifications Sequence Generators type of ID definitions, identify people, positions, or incidents by using a unique number for specified time period
- View ID Definitions/Sequence Generator report
- Sequence Generator Padding report = monitor SG for potential overflow issues Home (landing page) primary landing page admins can customize, configurable by admins Features: home cards, inbox items, announcements, applications Workbench (landing page) caters to technical users such as admins and implementers Features: inbox items, announcements, applications How do you control options available on ones landing page domain security policies Worker Profile composite view of job, worker, and group Worker Profile Groups can be used to to establish profile header, summary, and overview for said group What is defined by Workday in terms of worker profile/worker profile groups profile groups available for each profile & reports and tasks available in each group What is defined by customers in terms of worker profile/worker profile groups
reports and custom tasks that display for each group, groups that display in each profile, and display order Configurating Worker Profile S: configure profile โ worker profile โ select what should be displayed in profile S: configure profile group โ overview for worker profile โ delete , add, or edit rows S: configure profile header โ worker profile โ delete , add, or edit rows User-Based Security Group based on admin responsibility, assigned directly to specific user, access is tenant-wide / unconstrained, perform setup and admin tasks Must be manually unassigned if no longer required Role-Based Security based on responsibility within an org, assign assignable roles to positions or job, constrained or unconstrained but usu constrained, Partner, perform transactional and support tasks Assignable Roles Attached to role based sec group Need to be enabled for a specific org types Assign support and leadership staff for different orgs Used in role- based security group to identify members Security Mostly assigned to Sup Orgs Individual orgs must have a manage role Assigned manually HR Administrator (User Based) Create, maintain, view, and report on all HR operational data regardless of organization. Examples include compensation, compliance, hires, job changes, organizational assignments, performance reviews, personal data, positions and
(User Based) Manage all security related information regardless of organization. Examples include creating and maintaining Workday accounts, establishing password rules, managing feature permissions, viewing security reports, and viewing role reports. Approval authority for organization and system business processes. Manager (Role Based) Perform actions on members of assigned supervisory organizations. Examples include hiring employees or contingent workers, compensation changes, job changes, performance reviews, creating positions and headcount, stock grants, staffing, recruiting, leaves, and time off. Approval authority for HCM, expense, and procurement business processes. Skills Cloud machine-learning-powered remote collection of skills for workers and candidates to select from, collection of skills for workers and candidates to select from
- Can use to build qualification requirements and talent data free from additional maintenance
- Workers can tag skills to learning content, job catalogs, flex teams, and projects
- Once Skills Cloud is enabled, you CANNOT disable it / turn off Domain SP Updates if enable suggested skills for workers, configure following domains - Suggested Skills, Person Data: Skill Sources, Self-Service: Skills Sources Make sure to Activate Pending SP Changes Skills Cloud Skills found in all WD tenants Ex: leadership, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), time management Maintained (Tenanted) Skills specific to your org that you define in WD Admins can add, edit, and remove using Maintain Skills report
Crowdsourced Skills workers can add, aka unrecognized skills
- NOT included in search results or faceted reports Skills Interoperability series of steps that allows Workday to get skills data from where it is generated to where it can best be applied Skill Normalization all systems speak same language
- Background jobs automatically manage skill migration, reducing maintained skill volume over time Integrations get skill data to where it is most valuable Web services enable loading of external skills onto objects in Workday. Once imported, used in all skills-based ML applications. Include Tenanted Skills in Matching makes all of your skill data useful, whether it's mapped or not. Automate Skill Management Workday Skills Cloud conducts regular automated background processes to maintain and tidy up skills within your tenant. These processes include managing duplicate, synonymous, and deprecated skills. Duplicate Skill Management reduces the number of crowdsourced and maintained skills in your tenant, runs hourly Synonymous SM identifies skills in your tenant synonymous with a Skills Cloud skill. Workday then replaces these skills with their synonymous Skills Cloud counterparts, affecting all crowdsourced, maintained, and Skills Cloud skills in your tenant, excluding those that candidates use Foundation Recipe

Service Dates determine eligibility for benefits like insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off, with entitlements often based on length of service. Second, service dates can influence compensation structures, including salary increases and bonuses tied to tenure. Third, they are vital for legal compliance to ensure adherence to labor laws and regulations regarding employment tenure and entitlements. triggers workflows such as performance reviews
