On Thursday, June 9, from 12-12:45 p.m., join a virtual session focused on improving competencies around Workday reporting. This session will focus on the OAA - Academics report and ways to use that report to answer common business questions in academics. In addition, the data analytics team will be available to answer questions from attendees on reporting topics. It will also be recorded and shared. If you have questions, please contact Emily Noble . If you were unable to make it to one of the Office Hour sessions, you can find the recordings on the HR Office Hours teams channel under the Files tab.
Workday has two major releases of enhancements and new functionality annually, and the next release is March 12. This update includes a new search feature on the external careers site that allows a split view so applicants can view job details without leaving the search results page.
While this will primarily impact our external job applicants, the HR community needs to be aware of the changes should they receive questions.
Changes include:
New look and feel of the external career site starting March 12. Workday now appends the search filter/keywords to the end of the URL allowing for a direct link to filtered search pages, providing HR Recruiters with the ability to directly advertise specific filtered positions for their area(s). The page will retain the search criteria after clicking into a posting providing a split view, whereas before, the applicant had to reenter the search upon returning to the search page.
Workday has two major releases of enhancements and new functionality annually. The second release of 2021, named 2021R2 by Workday, is scheduled for Saturday, September 11, from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. Workday will be unavailable during the maintenance period.
Many of the changes coming in the release are behind the scenes and will not be immediately noticeable. A Workday 2021R2 job aid is available in the Administrative Resource Center that explains the system changes that will be noticeable in more detail .

Effective immediately, the following unused fields will be hidden on a project’s summary Workday page: Billable, Customer, Include Project ID in Names, Optional Balancing Worktags, Optional Project Hierarchies, and Project Currency.
These fields will still appear on existing reports.
To facilitate ad-hoc financial reporting in Tableau, a new Tableau Data Source which contains Adaptive Operating plan lines data for UNIV from Workday has been created in the Reporting and Analytics Environment (RAE).
This data source will be updated as new plan lines are loaded in Workday. The Tableau Data Source name is Workday - Adaptive Operating Plan lines. This data source will be available to all Finance users who have access to this folder “Financial Accounting/General Ledger.” See the full post for the listing of data source items being loaded.
The "Plan Versus Actuals by Plan Worktag" and "Plan versus Actuals by Plan Worktag - With Ledger Account" reports have been enhanced with new dynamic column headings to provide greater clarity to the selections made at report runtime. Now instead of simply displaying "Plan," the column heading will display the Plan/Forecast Name that was selected at report runtime.
