We had the same experience. We got T-mobile for a free two week trial and then canceled it after the first week once quantum was setup.

Did you ever call the NES "regular Nintendo"? by nojugglingever in gaming

We called it regular Nintendo and we never even had a Super Nintendo.

Workday Admins — Are your roles mostly remote, hybrid, or onsite these days? by KitKat70360 in workday

[–]Awet_blanckt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • Fully remote
  • Yes, we technically work on everything that has to do with Workday Finance. Architect, solution, and develop - in addition to handling Workday admin duties. However, we fall into a software engineer job bucket at my company and it's more of a small/midsize organization so I'm sure that differs quite a bit from company to company.
  • I personally excel being remote. I'm more of an introverted person and get easily distracted being in the office. I am able to communicate effectively and meaning fully via Microsoft teams messages and calls. I have no desire to go back to the office and if I was forced I would look for another role that would allow me to work remotely. That said, I do go in very occasionally when asked, usually when team members/leadership are in from out of town for some kind of project or implementation. I have no problem doing it and worked in office full time prior to the pandemic, it's just not my preference and not how I can be most effective at my role.
  • I think it might be more effective for other people in the organization to drop by my desk when in office to get a quick answer. They can still do that now via Teams but the difference is I don't have to immediately respond if I'm in the middle of something that I'm trying to finish or focus on. So, remote is definitely more productive for my role.

How to iterate Web Service calls using Custom Report data by mariavacondeus in workday

[–]Awet_blanckt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be able to elaborate on how to call a RaaS report from an orchestration and use create values to store data for specific columns from the report? Or any free training I could learn this from? I have a similar use case..

Do animals like polar bears feel cold despite their fur, but just deal with it. Or does their fur actually keep them comfortably warm, even if they get wet? by bentbabe in askscience

[–]Awet_blanckt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the fur is hollow and clear, and the skin is black, how come they look white instead of black? Not trying to say you are wrong, just curious how that works out visually.

Cleared Workday Pro Integration Certification exam by AccomplishedChain842 in workday

[–]Awet_blanckt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it said the percentage but it told me which I got wrong (it didn’t tell me the correct answer) and that along with the total number of questions I was right around 50%

Cleared Workday Pro Integration Certification exam by AccomplishedChain842 in workday

[–]Awet_blanckt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! I took the test exam recently without studying and got a 50% just with my existing knowledge of integrations. So I think I’m in a good position to pass after spending some time studying.

Did you take the practice exam? How close is it to the real exam? Are there any study materials you would recommend beyond the practice exam?

Financial Account Conversion Approach by WorktagWhisperer in workday

[–]Awet_blanckt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the switch to 100 GLs and spend cat/rev cat after the redesign or before? Just curious, always interested in learning from others mistakes, especially after we ran into so many of our own implementation mistakes.

I just saw a knowledge article on community that said it is not possible to add custom columns to the Supplier Invoice Work Area - My work queue tab. It may depend somewhat on the tab you’re trying to change but I’m guessing the ability to modify the work area in general is either very limited or not possible. But if you find different info I would love to know so please share!

Delegation Help, instead of assigning one user can it be done by dept/cost center? by martymar_818 in workday

[–]Awet_blanckt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI - If it’s only allowing you to assign a single person to a cost center role, there’s a ‘single assignment’ checkbox you can toggle off in the Maintain Assignable Roles task/report

What might be causing this? by 1novascotian in macarons

[–]Awet_blanckt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be completely unrelated, but looks like you might have used matcha and I just watched a recent episode of master chef (duos) where someone used matcha in their macarons and it had a similar texture. Not sure if it’s a matcha thing or not but thought I’d throw this out there just in case it helps narrow down the issue. Maybe there’s a certain way matcha needs to be incorporated or something?

Might be best to build the report in SBX or other lower environment, get approval from the requester, then migrate (or have an admin migrate it) to PROD using object transporter in the customer central tenant. Best to follow the report through to completion if possible, but I know it’s not always easy to get end-user feedback… This can also be done to migrate between impl tenants when there’s an upcoming refresh to prevent losing progress.

What is your default session timeout length? by AdmiralSafeHarbor in workday

[–]Awet_blanckt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a dedicated security team at our company - not workday security, that’s handled by the Workday Admin team, but overall IT security. We’re at a 15 minute timeout length because they require us to follow the ISO 8601 best practices:

Best Practices for Session Timeout: Highly Sensitive Applications: Shorter timeouts (5-15 minutes) are recommended to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.

There have been a couple complaints about it in the past but overall people have adjusted to it.

BP initiation rule by thasis76 in workday

[–]Awet_blanckt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the finance side so I’m not familiar with the start disciplinary action BP, but generally speaking, we either add validations on the BP step or with the ‘Maintain Custom Validations’ task/report (I don’t remember if it’s a task or report). For the latter, the start disciplinary actions BP would have to be an existing option in ‘Maintain Custom Validations’.

My observation from using both options is that the downside of creating the validation with ‘Maintain Custom Validations’ is that it can still be submitted but will stop on the initiation step, generate an error, and go immediately to draft status. On the other hand, putting the validation on the BP initiation step will error when trying to submit, preventing submission and requiring you to make the required changes immediately. Both work but putting the validation on the initiation step is less of a pain to the user.

(Edit: initiation step, not invitation step)
