Create Bulletin Worklet for Onboarding

Create Bulletin Worklet for Onboarding

Security:
Set Up: Announcements and Bulletin Worklet
 domain in the System functional area.
Create bulletin worklets to deliver tailored messages to different groups of workers. Although this worklet is optional, it can be a valuable part of the onboarding process by introducing new workers to the organization. Examples:
  • A welcome message from the CEO.
  • Messages:
    • That describe the values and culture of the company.
    • About benefits with a link to your company intranet.
    • About training with a link to an external learning management system.
You can associate a condition rule with each message to determine who receives the message. To identify the target audience for messages, use the
Create Announcement Rule
 task. Workday currently doesn't support the Service Center Representatives worker group.
Messages are static text and aren't tied to specific onboarding tasks. To organize and manage messages more easily, you can create as many bulletin worklets as you need.
  1. Access the
    Create Bulletin Worklet
     task.
  2. Enter a
    Name
     for the worklet.
    Workday displays this name in prompts when you view or edit the worklet.
  3. Enter a
    Label
     for the worklet.
    Workers see this label on the
    Onboarding
     dashboard.
  4. Select the
    Onboarding
     option from the
    Landing Pages for Bulletin Worklet
     prompt.
    You can use the
    Maintain Dashboards
     task to change the default dashboard name from Onboarding.
  5. Add a row for each message and enter details.
    Option Description
    Rule
    Select a condition rule that identifies the message recipients. If you leave this field blank, all workers see this message.
    Message From / Message Title
    Specify who the message is from, or enter a message title.
    Show Current Photo / Upload Custom Image
    Display the message sender's worker profile photo or a custom image, such as a logo.
    If the message sender doesn't have a photo, Workday displays a gray silhouette.
    Custom images must conform to the file size limit and permitted file types for your tenant. To select an existing image or create an image, select
    Upload Custom Image
    . Because Workday crops the images in bulletin worklets into circles, use square images for best results. Images in any other shape don't fit properly, resulting in white spaces in the circular area. Workday recommends 150 x 150 pixels for images.
    If you select
    None of the above
    , Workday displays a gray silhouette for messages from senders. For messages with titles only, Workday displays a stock image of paper and eyeglasses.
    Message
    Enter the message. Click
    Format Text
     to open a larger field with a rich text editor.
    Video
    Specify a title and description then select a preview image and enter the URL for the video (hosted outside of Workday).
    Videos open in separate browser tabs.
