Adaptive Planning User Experience

Adaptive Planning User Experience

We continue to align the Workday Adaptive Planning interface with Workday to provide a more consistent user experience.

Adaptive Planning Banner

Release: 2022-09-10
To improve the user experience, we update the Workday Adaptive Planning banner on all pages by:

To improve the user experience, we remove the Workday Adaptive Planning footer on all pages, except for sheets. On sheets, we update the current footer to display currency information and access to keyboard shortcut information.

Search Content in Matrix Reports

Release: 2022-09-10
For faster navigation and access to relevant content, we now enable you to search matrix report content including:
  • Account names.
  • Dimensions.
  • Values.
  • Notes.
You can only search for data that's visible on the report. We don't enable you to search for content in footnotes or content that requires drilling into the report.
The search only supports values where the sequence matches exactly. Example: To search for 16,767, the user must type it in with the comma delimiter.
If you opted out of the new matrix report interface, we recommend that you start using it. Workday plans to remove the ability to opt out of the new matrix report interface in Workday 2023 Release 1.
