Concept: Treasury Discovery Board

The Treasury discovery board is a configurable workspace that you can use to perform an enriched data analysis on your cash positions and cash forecasts. You can select and customize visualizations on the dashboard to gain insights into your cash balances and treasury operations so you can take necessary actions. Each Workday-delivered visualization is a graphical or textual representation of selected fields on a report data source.
The discovery board displays the visualizations on these sheets by category:
  • Bank Balances
  • Banking Cash Pools
  • Banking Relationship
  • Cash Forecasting
  • Cash Positioning
  • Regional Cash Pools
To view and customize the visualizations, copy the Treasury discovery board from the
