The mass job change table is an interactive interface for viewing, editing, validating, and submitting changes for your selected population. Use these table elements when you work with a table:

Element	Description
Row status summary	Displays counts for rows in the Valid, Invalid , Not Edited , Warning, and Removed Transaction statuses. Counts reflect rows you're authorized to access. Click Refresh to update counts after a mass edit or Submit Table completes.
Row status	Displays the validation state for each row in the Status column.
Tabs	Dedicated tabs such as Change Job , Organization Assignments , and Compensation Change segment the view. U.S. Federal customers can also have a Personnel Action Requests tab. Tabs and subprocess fields display only for subprocesses included in both your Change Job template and the Change Job consolidated template.
Fixed columns	Columns such as Worker , Worker ID , and Status remain visible regardless of the tab you select.
Editable columns	Columns are based on the Change Job template you selected during initiation and your security permissions.
Cell change indicators	Show added, modified, and removed values on supported columns on the Change Job and Organization Assignments tabs. Interact with a modified cell to view current and proposed values.
Comments	When enabled, you can add comments in the Comment column on the Change Job tab or in Mass Edit . When you click Submit Table , comments remain on each worker's Change Job event.
Filtering and sorting	Filter and sort data to manage the displayed population. You can save filters for future use.
Split scrolling	The table supports scrolling when content extends beyond the visible area.

Cell change indicators aren't available on the

Compensation Change

tab, in

Mass Edit,

or in single-row edit when the flow uses the simplified

Change Job

UI without subprocesses.

When Workday generates a mass job change table, some workers or positions in your selected population can be excluded and don't appear as rows. Excluded positions are summarized in

Positions Excluded from Mass Action

on the

My Tasks

item. For more details, see Initiate Mass Job Changes.

Mass action tables implement contextual and constrained security. You can view and modify rows only if you have appropriate security group access. The

Change Job

mass action type secures access to the rows on the table.

Mass Job Change respects role-based and intersectional security, such as location, supervisory organization, or cost center.

The

Mass Action Event

business process supports constrained security for Mass Job Change.

Domain security on the

Mass Action Events

domain in the System functional area controls access to the

Start Mass Job Change

report, opening tables, and viewing processing jobs. Business process security on the

Mass Action Event

business process policy in the Staffing functional area controls access to start, complete, review, and approve mass action events.
