Concept: Find Events

Workday displays the following search facets on the

Find Events

report:

About Worker
Business Process Type
Initiating Worker
Organization
Status

Facets are non-tenanted and correspond to generic categories. Each facet contains one or more facet values; these are tenanted and correspond to specific values in your tenant. For example, the Initiating Worker facet displays values for workers in your organizations.

The number in parentheses indicates how many business process events have that facet value. For example, if a worker named John Smith initiated twenty business processes, the Initiating Worker facet would display a facet value of

John Smith (20)

.

By default, no facet values are selected. As you narrow your search, Workday dynamically updates the facet value count numbers for other facet values. When a facet value count is reduced to zero, Workday hides it. If all values for a facet are reduced to zero, Workday hides the entire facet.

For each facet, Workday displays the facet values with the most business process events. Click

more...

to display additional values. For facets with many possible values, a prompt enables you to select an additional facet value.

Workday displays 50 events at a time in the search results. Click Workday updates the search index when any business process event is initiated or changes status, ensuring that the facets reflect the most current information.

The

Find Events

report is secured to the

Business Process Administration

and

Business Process Reporting

domains. Individual facets are secured by the domain of their underlying report fields. Without view access to a facet's domain, Workday doesn't display that facet on the

Find Events

report. Even if you have access, Workday only includes those employees whose data you have permission to see. For example, you have permission to see the About Workers facet, but only for certain employees. The facet value counts for the ratings will only include the appropriate employees.

To determine how a facet is secured in your tenant, search for the facet's associated report field and select

Security

View Security

as a related action. The

View Report Field

report also provides a brief description of the report field's (and facet's) purpose.

To identify the facet report fields, copy the

Find Events

report and view the

Facet Options

on the

Advanced

tab.

Workday does not support aggregation, intersection, and segment-based security groups for the

Find Events

report.

You can save

Find Events

searches to use at a later time. These are for your personal use and not available to others.

You can

Save

a search. Clicking

Open

presents additional options that enable you to:

Continue your last search, if there was a previous search during the same signin session.
Select a search from a list of saved searches. The search options are displayed in alphabetical order.
Manage saved searches. This option enables you rename or inactivate any saved searches. You cannot change the criteria of a saved search.

You can create a custom version of the

Find Events

report using the Workday Report Writer. A custom search report enables you to control the available search facets, the order, and the fields that display in the search results.

To simplify your effort with a custom search report, select

Standard Report

Copy

as a related action on the delivered

Find Events

report, then modify the report to meet your needs. If you want the custom report to replace the standard version of

Find Events

, use the

Hide Workday Delivered Report

task to remove the standard report from menus and search results.

When you hide standard reports using the

Hide Workday Delivered Report

task, Workday doesn't display them in searches. If you can't find a specific report, access the

Hide Workday Delivered Report

task to determine if you hid it.
