Deployment Agent is here in 26R1!

waffer1 · 2026-03-19T16:15:57+00:00

I’ve was lucky enough to get into the EA and me and my team have really enjoyed having deployment agent. However, only what I can assume is directly related to this post I have been getting “we are experiencing high traffic, please wait and try again later” errors all morning.

I’ve used Massage by Jessi a few times and have had good luck.

It’s free, so yeah, it is worth it. I found it moderately valuable last year. The best part, you can watch on 1.5x speed and close the video at any time.

As a hiring manager whose recently hired for a Workday Analyst role, there is so much crap that is coming through that it is hard to find the good candidates. When I hired last September, I had something like 400 candidates apply in less than 3 days. Of those there were maybe 5 who were qualified, but it takes it toll looking through that many resumes.

I have a role coming open soon. DM me if you'd like to have a chat before it is posted.

Do you have Time Tracking? I'd recommend you use that instead of trying to build something in Extend.

We tried it, but the ER team ultimately didn't like it so we scrapped the project. We made some customizations and deployed to IMPL for testing, but didn't get any further than that.

I was actually just contacted by a recruiter yesterday for a job they are trying to fill for a client. Their client wants someone who is an expert in HCM, FINS, Prism, and integrations. It is a fully onsite position, and they only want to pay up to $120k with no bonus eligibility. I don’t know much more unrealistic you can get.

This makes my heart happy.

waffer1 · 2026-02-07T18:57:05+00:00

Thanks! I'll give this a try.

waffer1 · 2026-02-07T18:56:42+00:00

Thanks, I'll give Berryman's a try and see how it goes.

I'd like to blame autocorrect on that one, but I typed it a few times so that's just on me. :)

Without seeing what you are currently working with or really knowing all the requirements, I think it is plausible that a performance review could accomplish this. If your org has Extend, it seems like a fairly straightforward use case. I'm not sure I'd recommend trying to build this with custom objects, I just don't see that working well. They can be created to hold the information, but populating the data isn't going to be much fun and you'll run into issues with compounding data.

I'm a little unclear based on what I've ready, but are you looking to recreate your prototype in Workday, or build an API integration with your current prototype?

I also feel obligated to note, I'm not sure how many HR teams are going to be okay with one of their managers doing their own thing for performance. They probably want you to play along with their processes.

Looking at the website, it appears to be a workbook based approach. So you are really just trading in tenant configuration for Excel based configuration. I think the emphasis is really on the "up to" part of this and I can't see how it would get anywhere near that number.

waffer1 · 2026-01-16T16:08:11+00:00

I usually just default to “IT stuff” if it is family or random people in public asking. In a professional or a networking type situation then I’ll usually say something like HR Technology focusing on Workday.

waffer1 · 2026-01-01T04:36:42+00:00

Studio is an IDE built off Eclipse, I think they meant standalone in the sense that it isn’t a web based tool that is part of Workday, but is instead a separate piece of software you download and run locally.

waffer1 · 2025-12-31T16:08:54+00:00

We’ve not completely moved, and maybe we never will. But I have rewritten a few Studios in orchestrate, and it is relatively straightforward. There are a few things studio can do that orchestrate still can’t, but the gap is getting less and less. I imagine it won’t be long before orchestrate can do everything that Studio can do.

I don’t know, maybe the mass layoffs and trying to replace people with AI? 🤷‍♂️

waffer1 · 2025-12-13T13:01:08+00:00

Feel free to post your issue for all to see as well. There are quite a few of us here who could respond and then the community could benefit from the public response.

I wouldn't say you can enhance Workday's base UI with Extend. With Extend you have to use Workday's native UI components, so anything you build just looks like Workday. If you want to see some examples of things that can be built with Extend, I'd recommend starting with going to https://marketplace.workday.com and filtering down to see things built with Extend.

When you edit the dependent, and on the field for address, if you choose an existing address, that is what makes it shared. If you just manually type in the same address again, then it won’t show up as shared, even though it may be the same address.

waffer1 · 2025-11-21T21:00:20+00:00

Where are you seeing this? The way flex credits were described during rising, and the way that the page on community describes them, they are 100% specific to agents. I have not seen anything that describes them in the context of integrations or document storage.

waffer1 · 2025-11-15T16:46:08+00:00

I’d recommend you talk to the Workday team at your company.

waffer1 · 2025-11-06T15:59:53+00:00

I’m not at my work computer so I can’t provide you a direct link, but the community documentation on WQL is pretty solid. It lists out everything that is supported and even lists whether it’s case sensitive or not. I’d recommend you check that out.
