Reference: Contact Information Localizations

Workday enables you to specify which countries use different contact information localizations.
Localized Field
Description
City Prompt
Enables you to select from a Workday-maintained list of cities for the selected countries.
We recommend that you contact Professional Services for assistance when activating this localization, which significantly impacts your data, existing integrations, EIBs, and web services. When you activate City Prompt, Workday prevents you from entering city names as text for the selected countries. If you later inactivate the City Prompt, you must re-enter all cities for which you selected an address using the prompt.
Country Names
Enables custom names for countries.
Activating this localized field for any country is a significant tenant change and requires additional setup in the
Maintain Workday Delivered Country Names
task. Workday displays custom country names based on the country of the primary position.
Example: If you activate this localized field for Hong Kong, workers in your organization with a primary position within Hong Kong see the custom names you configured in the
Maintain Workday Delivered Country Names
task for Hong Kong.
Enable Address Lookup
Enables you to search for an address based on address components such as Postal Code.
Number of Days (Worker)
Enables you to track the number of days a worker in the selected country works from home. If you activate this localized field, you can track both the Number of Days Per Week and the Days of the Week in a worker's home contact information. Once enabled, access the
Maintain Address Usages
task and activate the
Work From Home
address usage as the default for
Communication Usage Behavior Default
to use and display these fields.
