Concept: Effort Certification Work Area
The
Effort Certification Work Area
report enables you to find, review, and approve effort certifications outside of My Tasks.There are 2 tabs in the effort certification work area. You can hide, display, or reorder the tabs by accessing the
Configure Profile
task for the Effort Certification Work Area
profile.Overview
The
Overview
tab contains a visualization of all the effort certifications you can access, enabling you to view the statuses of all the effort certifications from 1 location.The
Workflow Step
column displays the statuses of effort certifications in the business process. A (Blank)
workflow step indicates that the business process step isn't assigned to a worker.When you click the count number, you can view who still needs to approve the business process for the effort certification.
My Work Queue
The
My Work Queue
tab enables you to view and take actions on all pending effort certifications. You can submit actions individually or as a mass action.The mass submit action enables you to certify on behalf of others. Due to the federal regulatory requirements on expended time certification, Workday recommends that you exercise caution when granting access to this functionality.
When the mass submission includes an action that you've already taken, Workday doesn't advance the business process for that effort certification again.
When you certify an effort using the work area, Workday certifies the attestation statement on the business process for you.
After you submit an action on an effort certification, Workday removes the business process from your work queue and from My Tasks.
