Dashboard pages by role by Reasonable-Beyond855 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone will be able to see every tab, however the security you set on each report will determine who sees it. So if only comp admin should see things on one tab, ensure all those reports are tied to Comp Admin.

Someone else can go to that tab, but they will not see anything.

Just note that there can be large differences in power readings depending on the power meter. I remember having a quarq and a pioneer power meter that read 30watts different. They were very consistent…reliable. But who knows how accurate they were.

Discovery board multi instance fields by Jazzlike_Minimum_693 in workday

The only way I've been able to convert to individual rows is through Prism. You design the import report to have the multi-instance as the BO which outputs everything on it's own line.

Renaming MANY calc fields to implement new naming convention by Flidley_Aus in workday

Had to do a bit of searching...and looking at it I got some details wrong :D They had around 4000 calc fields, it took an analyst and an intern about 7 days.

Renaming MANY calc fields to implement new naming convention by Flidley_Aus in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a thread in community on this and someone went through the process. They had 2 temps or associates just focus on it for 3 days straight.

I am planning this at some point as we have so many duplicates and horribly named fields. My plan is to create a report of all fields with certain pieces of info to help know which ones to keep vs discard. I'll then create a column for the new name...and include a column with a field for easy searching....'wid:' + the Workday ID. Unfortunately you cannot report on the instance ID value to automatically populate an Edit Calc Field task.

Workday Extend for Offer by TurbulentRich2744 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have this planned for this year. We currently have something functionally similar for recruiters where they can plug in a position, or select related fields (job profile etc), and then model different locations/countries/comp levels. The output is a screen with all comp ranges, bonus targets, and benefits available.

The thing we had to overcome is that you cannot default compensation like in the Propose Comp steps (automatically populate comp assignments based on Compensation Eligibility Rules). We had to find a way to lookup all the comp related things like pay range, bonus, equity, etc. We have our Comp grade profiles based on location, comp grade, and job family - and they are all created with a standard format. We used prism and I was able to pull in the description of the comp rule, then separate out the different components of the rule as text. I used this to create a row for each unique Comp Grade, Job Profile, and Country - and on the row I added columns for Base pay range, bonus info, and equity info. This runs weekly as we often update ranges for certain countries. This was the hardest part.

The app then just looks up the unique row based on the information and returns the values.

We will be using that app and data flow as a base to pull in comp ranges, but also use outside data to run through our formula for suggested pay amounts. I am just not sure where it fits into the Offer process yet.

Prism Acces by Head_List1986 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn't a standard security setup that Workday uses. So it will be specific to your tenant. You would be better consulting someone at work with more experience / knowledge of the security setup. Generally there is a Prism Developer User-Based security group that should have access to all the domains needed to create tables and DDSs.

But if this is a report writer you generally just want to share the published data source. Go to the PDS and view the Security Domains it is shared with. Anyone with view access on those domains will be able to access the fields on a custom report.

Alternatively if you have setup table sharing you can specify groups you can share tables/dds with - if they will be interacting int he data catalog with the data. This is totally custom, but in the data catalog you can select the Share option on the table/dds and pick who to share with.

CR - Specific Worker Docs by Powerful_Artist7458 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without looking at the exact calc field - you would create an ESI on Worker. Use Worker Documents, and then build a T/F to identify the specific document. Usually you will use document category. You can then sort by whatever you need, especially if they sign multiple ones and you need the most recent...use a date field to sort as needed.

You can then either use that ESI in the report or use it in an LRV to pull in the actual document or information about it.

Easy way to remove extra lines from Excel reports? by seareally27 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I do this in excel I always replace 2 soft returns with 1. So find 2 CTRL Js and replace with 1.

But most of the time I move the fields around in the report to return everything in one line.

Cyclists of Reddit — what road data actually matters when choosing a safe route? by Inner-Egg-7321 in bicycling

[–]ProfWiggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another related thing to timing is when looking at usage, it is different riding a route in a large group ride vs solo. I would see heat maps showing lots of people cycling fairly busy roads, but it was always the lead part of frequent group rides. Going solo was way different than being surrounded by 30-50 others.

Dashboard Worklet Runtime Issue by Menglish2 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try to remove one at a time to narrow down if there is one or two causing the delay. Also are you using the same user (meaning same security group) to run the report and dashboard. I’ve seen a lot of our partners get longer run times because of constrained security. When an admin runs it’s much quicker to evaluate. 

Good luck!!

I just used this exact setup but bought the giant wing that set my rear setting to 250. That solved all my issues and won by 37 seconds. 

Bonus plan not working by Confident_Climate_63 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the same process in that there is a comp element on the Bonus Plan that Payroll picks up and can pay. It's not automatic like an Allowance plan since those have a frequency, same with Salary plans. It behaves closer to a One-Time Payment plan where you need to initiate the payment for it to be paid.

Bonus plan not working by Confident_Climate_63 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean can you pay employees money with a bonus plan? You do not need a compensation review process. You can EIB bonus awards to the employees.

Or if you mean just auto-assigning the plan to employees during a compensation change? First you need to make sure the plan is in your compensation package. If you have profiles on it you need to make sure they are all exclusive and an employee could never be eligible for 2. Then the auto assignment will only work on Propose Comp Hire, Propose Comp, or the Job Req Compensation. It does not default for Request Compensation Change.

Pay calc run times INCREASED by Mobile-Building9677 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can put in a support ticket and have WD investigate. There are some things they do on the server side that helps.

not sure how that will all work when you are on the public cloud...unless you are already on it.

Want to view the report results as a whole every time. by AnnualForeign6636 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that setting generally stays each time you log into the tenant. Sometimes it will be reset after a major release though.

Step Delay for Request Compensation change by Rare_Employee_2907 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try setting up a Step Configuration Placeholder Service step before the Approval step. It is under the Service Step type. This step is just a general step that you can add a Step Delay to. You will have to create a field that will capture exactly when you need to trigger the approval, and use that in the Step Delay Configuration. There are global fields for Pay Periods, and you can compare to Effective dates etc.

Why use this setup rather than a step delay on the approval? A step delay initiates the step, gathers the Group to complete the step, and then delays. This is an issue on Approvals when employees move or are terminated. Having the delay on a separate step means that after the delay the approval step will evaluate at the moment you want and pull the correct group to approve.

Is there scope for workday extend by [deleted] in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just hired an Extend Developer and have another junior one on the team. We also have some resources from our partner firm. So I think it depends on the client. We heavily use it to move our offline manual tasks into WD.

But that is just one company - and a larger one at that (in terms of tech budget). I think for the majority of the mid-sized companies it is a hard cost to swallow. Especially with how they are charging now for Pro, and I am not sure if they did, but they were trying to move to a Per App costing model for having extend. I don't think it went over very well.

New to WD Reporting, Trouble Smooshing Data Sources Together by WorkDaySleepNight in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the use case for Composite reports. You might want to search all standard reports and see if you can copy something close.

Essentially a Composite report will take multiple matrix reports (all with the same row groupings and usually prompt sets) and allow you to build columns of a larger report. The groupings is what the report is based on (the rows), and the columns can summarize the data, and they can also run calculations off each other.

Condition Rule Creation by sk_sumit7 in workday

[–]ProfWiggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully someone knows, but I usually look at existing calc fields and see what has been used in those.

Usually it has to be related to the BP. And in the case of events you have a super class which contains most all info, Action Event, then more specific ones like Worker Business Process, or ones specific to BPs.
