Keeping Workday proxy access in Sandbox without seeing newly migrated Comp data?

Post Body:
Hey everyone,

I’m an HRIS admin. We are migrating real salary and allowance data into our production tenant soon. Currently I have proxy access in sandbox but that'll be remove once the comp data moves into production.

Losing proxy access will tank my ability to test business processes, monitor workflows, and troubleshoot end-user issues.

  • Is there a native Workday way to restrict proxying specific comp roles or execs?
  • Can we mask or blind compensation data during a proxy session?

How does your organization balance HRIS testing without enabling proxy? Thanks!

Get additional manager evaluation -- cannot locate transactions

Hi Community,

We have a Mid-Year Review stuck at the Get Additional Manager Evaluation sub-step.

It is configured as skippable, but managers cannot see or execute the Skip action from their inbox. I do not want to cancel the parent Start Performance Review event, as it is in progress and contains active data.

Because this is a nested sub-step and lacks a standalone transaction ID, it does not appear in standard transaction queues for overrides.

How can an administrator force-skip or bypass this specific sub-step on the parent record?

Thanks!

Probation Outcome by Country?

Hi,

Is it possible to maintain the same probation outcomes (1 set) across all countries in the tenant? Having to set separate outcomes by country when they are all the same results in a number of reference IDs.

Auto create supervisory org

Hi,

This alert comes up during 'Change Job' task for HR Partner during a transfer of worker to a manager who is not a manager in Workday. How do I disable this? The task to create supervisory org is currently limited to Org Partner.

Please advise.

Route Workday BP tasks to first S2+ manager

I need a dynamic Workday setup that identifies the first manager in a worker’s management hierarchy with Compensation Grade S1 or above.

Example:

  • Direct Manager = Comp Grade B4
  • Manager’s Manager = Comp Grade O4
  • Third-level Manager = Comp Grade S2

The S1 manager should be able to:

  • The probation tasks (questionnaire, to do and review probation period) for the worker in that hierarchy
  • Create a Job Requisition for positions in that hierarchy
  • Terminate employees below them

The qualifying manager may be at level 1, 2, 3, 4 or higher.

I have SupOrg Manager, Manager’s Manager and Management Chain, but I cannot find a way to dynamically assign security or BP tasks only to the first S2+ manager.

Is this possible using constrained security groups, management hierarchy security, calculated fields or custom organization roles?

Is there a supported way to dynamically find the first S2+ manager and assign To Do, Questionnaire and Action steps to that person?

I'm also open to alternative options to address the use I'm looking for.

Help — Approval Chain + Exit Condition setup for grade-based skip logic (Review Probation Period)

I'm configuring the "Review Probation Period" business process and need some validation on my calculated field / condition setup.

Goal: Only managers at Compensation Grade S1–S4, M1–M4, or E1–E5 should need to approve. Anyone outside these levels should be skipped automatically, with the process walking up the chain until it hits someone in that range.

My current setup:

  1. Approval Chain step — Group: Manager
  2. Calculated Field 1 (Extract Single Instance)
    • Source Field: Workers Possibly Assigned Next
    • Instance: First occurrence
    • No Sort Field (Compensation Grade Profile isn't sortable, but since I just need a membership check, I don't think sorting matters here)
  3. Calculated Field 2 (Lookup Related Value)
    • Lookup Field: the calculated field above
    • Return Value: Compensation Grade
  4. Condition Rule
    • Field: the Compensation Grade calculated field above
    • Operator: "in the selection list"
    • Comparison Value: S1, S2, S3, S4, M1, M2, M3, M4, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5
  5. Applied as the Exit Condition on the Approval Chain step.

Questions:

  • Does the Exit Condition get checked before each manager receives the task (so non-matching people are skipped and never see it), or after they approve (so they'd still have to click approve once before it escalates)?
  • Is "Workers Possibly Assigned Next" + Extract Single Instance (no sort) the right way to reliably grab the next candidate in the chain, or is there a cleaner pattern for this?

Would really appreciate input from anyone who's set up similar grade-based skip logic before. Thanks!

EIB Role assignment by SupOrg

Hi

I want to use EIB Assign Roles to replace assignees - I have two scenarios. If anyone has sample EIB to share, pls do.

  • Replacing 1 out of 2 assignees of Recruiter Supervisory in a SupOrg - Can we do EIB of assign roles i.e. replacing 1 existing assignee (Position IDYYYY) with new Position ID IDXXXX for a suporg without removing the other assignee?
  • Replace 2 assignees of Recruiter Supervisory in a SupOrg with a new assignee?

I am unable to generate data for this EIB. Any suggestion how to do so?

Thanks!

Searching Pre-Hire

Hi,

I saw this available on GMS at Hire Employee. The window showed up to 'Search for Person' who might already be in the system.

There are many options available and in our tenant only 'search by name' is set up. What are the tasks required to set up to be able to search by other attributes such as

  • Date of birth
  • Workday ID
  • Contact details
  • National ID/ whatever ID is relevant to the country
  • Previous role details

Please advise.

Workday Address Design – Local Payroll System Integration

We’re doing a Workday payroll integration, and the local payroll system has more detailed address fields because they are required for statutory/payroll purposes.

Has anyone used a design where the local payroll system remains the source of truth for the statutory address, and Workday only receives a concatenated/summarized version in the standard address lines?

For example, the payroll system keeps structured fields like house no. / street / district / province / postal code, then the integration combines those fields and pulls them into Workday Address Line 1 and Address Line 2.

is this doable?

Probation Review with Questionnaire - Workay

Hi,

We are using probation review with questionnaire. And currently the BP initiates only when triggered by HRIS or Sup Org or HR Partner by going to 'Manage Probation Review' for worker and we click on 'Start Review' to get the bp started. Is there a way to auto start on it's own?
