Concept: Add Documents Step

Concept: Add Documents Step

Workday enables you to add documents as attachments to the
Employment Agreement
and
Offer
business processes to distribute to selected candidates. Example: Health insurance package. The attachments will be part of the business process and don't require you to preconfigure them in the business process configuration.
Employment Agreement
and
Offer
are currently the sole business processes supporting the
Add Documents
step.
Key Features
  • Requires you to enable attachments in the
    Edit Tenant Setup - Business Processes
    task.
  • Requires you to configure each
    Add Documents
    step before the
    Review Documents
    step in the business process. Example:
    Add Documents
    : Step b,
    Review Documents
    : Step c.
  • Workday doesn't support Adobe Sign or DocuSign eSignature integrations types for the
    Add Documents
    step.
  • Any instructional text from the
    Add Documents
    task will overwrite the preconfigured text in the Review Documents configuration.
  • You can purge
    Add Documents
    attachments associated with a candidate profile or job application.
The
Add Documents
inherits the security policy from the
Initiation
step of the parent business process. Users with permission to edit in the
Attachment Settings in BP Toolbar
section have access to the supplementary documents.
If you cancel the parent business process of an
Add Documents
step, either while the step is in progress or after completion, Workday also cancels the
Add Documents
subprocess.

Delegation and Reassignment

You can delegate an
Add Documents
My Tasks item to another user according to your tenant delegation settings if the security policy of the parent business process enables delegation. If you delegate your entire My Tasks, your delegate will receive the
Add Documents
task in their My Tasks as long as the security policy of the parent business process enables delegation.
You can use the
Manage Delegations
task to delegate the
Employment Agreement
or
Offer
business process with the
Add Documents
step. The selection of available delegates depends on your tenant delegation settings and security.
You can request reassignment of an
Add Documents
My Tasks item to another user. They must belong to a security group that has access to the
Initiate
action on the parent business process.
To use the
Reassign Task
for
Add Documents
, you must be a:
  • Business Process Administrator.
  • Member of a security group with access to the Reassign Tasks action on the security policy of the parent business process type.
