Concept: Mass Generate Schedules for Organizations

You can launch a background job to mass generate schedules. This enables you to generate many schedules at once while continuing to use your Workday tenant. Workday manages all centralized scheduling jobs to efficiently use computing power. This improves performance and supports scalability for larger or more complex organizations.

When you launch the job, Workday generates schedules in the background for all scheduling organizations that:

You select.
Are subordinate to the high-level scheduling organizations that you select.

Jobs can process for up to 12 hours. Workday generates schedules for all organizations successfully processed within this time. We don't generate schedules for any organizations or weeks that haven't been processed within the 12-hour limit.

Provisioning tenanted resources requires lead time, which varies with the complexity of your configuration and the necessary updates. Workday can help you adjust job configurations to meet processing constraints, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure. We recommend that you test your configuration in a Sandbox tenant to help us monitor behavior and address issues effectively.

For scheduling organizations that use manual scheduling, Workday generates blank schedules. Once the job is running, you can’t generate or modify schedules using the

Schedule Workers

report.

You can generate schedules for up to 8 weeks at a time. To generate schedules for more than 8 weeks, you can configure multiple future job runs. When you configure multiple weeks, Workday creates schedules independently and in sequential order for each scheduling organization you select.

Workday skips scheduling organizations that already have a schedule created.
