Manage Mass Job Change Tables

Manage Mass Job Change Tables

After you initiate a mass job change, you edit, validate, and submit the table, then submit the
My Tasks
 item to continue or complete the workflow.
    Open the Mass Job Change Table
  1. From
    My Tasks,
     select
    Open Table
     to access the table.
  2. Filter the table.
    3. Make changes in the table
  3. Perform mass changes in
    Mass Edit
    .
    1. Select individual rows or select all rows to include all workers in the table.
    2. Click
      Mass Edit
      .
    3. From the
      What do you want to change?
       prompt, select fields for a mass change.
    4. Apply changes.
      Mass Edit
       displays out of order warnings when changes create an out of order event.
  4. Use the single row editor to fix individual errors without leaving the workflow.
    After you submit or cancel changes in the row editor, you return to the main table.
  5. Remove rows that you don't want to process if needed.
  6. Resolve errrors displayed in the table before you submit.
    7. Submit the table
  7. Click
    Submit Table
     to process all valid changes.
    1. When processing runs, click
      Refresh
       in the
      Row status summary
       to update row status counts.
    2. Review the submission summary for success and failure counts.
    Partial table submissions aren't supported. When you submit the table, Workday processes all remaining rows regardless of status.
    8. Complete the mass action event
  8. Click
    Submit
     in
    My Tasks
     to complete the mass job change. This action discards any remaining rows in the table, including the rows that you don't have access to.
    9. (Optional) Rescind a completed mass action event
  9. When rescind is enabled for the mass action type, select
    Rescind
    from the related actions menu of the archived
    Mass Action Event
    My Tasks
     item on the
    Archive
     tab of
    My Tasks
    .
  10. You receive a notification when rescind processing completes.
Workday initiates the
Change Job
 business process for each submitted change job. You can view these transactions on worker profiles, in Workday standard reports, and in
My Tasks
.
When mass comments are enabled, comments you added remain on each worker's
Change Job
 event.
When review and approve steps are configured on the
Mass Action Event
business process, Workday routes the event to reviewers and approvers before processing continues.
