On September 10, 2022, a new Workday home page was implemented for the University of Miami. The new home page is designed to make navigation easier and help you organize and complete your tasks.
The new Workday home page interface and search functionalities looks and feels different than the past ones, and includes the following changes:
Please keep in mind that Workday tasks and business processes are not affected by this home page update, and remain the same. Additionally, the WalkMe ActionBot and orange Need Help? icon are still easily accessible on the Workday home page.
You'll notice new University of Miami banner images on the top of the Workday home page. These University campus images are updated according to the time of day, so depending on when you log in to Workday, you'll see a different image.
Up to three of the most recent items from your Workday Inbox, which you can also access from the Inbox icon.
Highlights reminders, such as upcoming time off, and quick access to your important information, such as home and work contact information.
Formerly known as worklets, apps (e.g., Pay, My Team) are now accessible under "View All Apps" and the new Global Navigation menu.
Up to three announcements that you can click on to see more information. If additional announcements are available, you can click "View More Announcements" to see them all.
With the new 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. Your first four apps will display in the "Your Top Apps" section. You can also create up to 10 shortcuts for tasks and reports within the Global Navigation Menu.
New search functionality 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.
Highlights upcoming birthdays and work anniversaries for your direct reports.
