The Workday home page is designed to make navigation easier and help you organize and complete your tasks. Key features of the current home page interface and search functionalities include:
You'll notice University of Miami campus images as a banner on top of the Workday home page. These University campus images are updated according to the time of day, so depending on the time of day you log in to Workday, you'll see a different image.
Up to three of your most recent My Tasks items appear, which you can also access from the My Tasks icon.
Highlights reminders, such as upcoming time off, and quick access to your important information, such as home and work contact information. Managers also see upcoming birthdays and work anniversaries for their direct reports.
Select an announcement to see all details. If more than one is available, use the arrow icons to scroll to the next announcement.
Formerly known as worklets, apps (e.g., Pay and Benefits Hub, My Team) are accessible under "View All Apps" and the Global Navigation Menu.
With the Global Navigation Menu, you can access your apps and shortcuts from anywhere in Workday, not just your home page. Easily customize the apps you see and their order. The top app in each of your first four categories displays in the “Your Top Apps” section. You can also create up to 10 shortcuts for tasks and reports for easy access.
Allows you to personalize search results. Use Saved Categories to choose the order in which Workday searches through categories and displays the results. In addition, when searching in Workday, you'll see different categories to filter searches. To search all categories at once, i.e., All of Workday, add them to your Saved Categories list.
These smart tools make it easier to get help with Workday business processes.
*Note: If you don't see these smart tools on your Workday home page, please install the WalkMe plugin on your computer.
Formerly known as your Workday Inbox, My Tasks allows you to filter, organize, and manage tasks in one location. Up to three of your most recent My Tasks items will also appear in the "Awaiting Your Action" section.
Quickly access your Team Org Chart and direct reports' Workday profiles, and identify any Goals that are overdue or off track.
*Not shown in image. These sections are only visible to Managers.
