Concept: Worker Tags

Concept: Worker Tags

Workday enables you to put workers into candidate, succession, or talent pools using tags. You can tag up to 500 workers at a time. Example: You can tag workers as outstanding contributors, potential directors, or ready for promotions.
You can tag workers by using the
Tag
icon at the top of reports. The icon is a solid right-facing arrow above a worker's name on their profile. You can tag workers when you include the
Worker
report field in your report definitions and the primary business object is either:
  • Contingent Worker
  • Employee
  • Worker
You can also tag workers using:
  • A report created on the Worker business object.
  • The
    Find Workers
    report.
In addition to tagging workers manually, you can use the search results of a saved search from the
Find Workers
report to update talent pool membership automatically.
You can use search reports to tag workers. However, Workday recommends using another report type when you want to use a report to tag workers.
