HCM Fundamentals Flashcards
Chapter 1 - Review
This chapter provided a brief introduction to the core concepts of HCM, which are Supervisory Organizations, Staffing Models, Job Profiles, Compensation, Security, and Business Processes. These six core concepts are essential for Workday HCM transactions. In following chapters, we will cover each core concept in more detail.
When you see an object in Workday you can click on it to get more information or use the Related Actions icon to open the menu and initiate an action.
Landing pages are a collection of applications that allow users to access information, tasks, and reports.
• The Home landing page is a consolidated view of information and tasks for both self-service and manager self-service.
• The Workbench landing page provides quick and easy access to existing tasks and reports for technical administrators and implementers.
All landing pages are configurable. Applications can be added and removed at any time.
Applications can be configured to be required or optional for specific security groups. Required applications will be pre-loaded when a worker first signs into Workday and cannot be removed. Optional applications will be pre-loaded when a worker first signs into Workday and can be removed by the user at any time.
Most reports and Workday pages can be exported to either a PDF or Excel file.
Search can be used to find information in the Workday system because most data is indexed and searchable.
