Welcome to the Workday Watch — your central source for everything Workday, including important news and helpful insights. Whether you’re navigating new processes, looking for clarity on recent changes, or staying up to date on the latest developments, Workday Watch provides the guidance and information you need when you need it most.

You can now access a public dashboard in the Workday Support Portal that provides greater transparency into enhancement requests and reporting tickets. The dashboard allows you to view the status of work in progress and filter tickets by Open, In Process, or Closed status. 

At go live, some payroll transactions were defaulted to conversion worktags because the cost allocations were not in Workday.

Running updated budget reports is recommended if you were missing labor transactions from those pay periods.
