Using Workday Assistant for Time Tracking Tasks

Workers can use Workday Assistant to quickly access time entry tasks, reducing the number of clicks required to navigate to frequently used tasks. Example: When workers enter a phrase such as "enter my time" in Workday search, Assistant provides a link to the time entry calendar where the worker can enter time blocks.
Workday Assistant doesn't support:
  • Entering time on mobile devices.
  • Entering time for days in the past or future.
  • High-volume time entry.
  • Time approval.
To configure Workday Assistant for Time Tracking, you must be a member of a security group on these domains:
  • Manage Bot and User Conversations
    in the System functional area.
  • Set Up: Edit Tenant Setup - Assistant
    in the System functional area.
  • Set Up: Time Tracking
    in the Time Tracking functional area.
You can enable workers to enter time using Workday Assistant by adding relevant workers to these security domains and business process security policies:

Security Domain or Action
