View Questionnaire Responses in Approval Steps

  • To view questionnaire responses in an
    Approval
    or
    Approval Chain
    step of a business process, the security groups on the business process step must have access to the
    Questionnaire Results
    domain or have access to a security segment on the domain.
  • To view questionnaire responses in an
    Approval Chain
    step, each approver in the chain must have access to the
    Questionnaire Results
    domain.
  • You must have a
    Complete Questionnaire
    step preceding the
    Approval
    or
    Approval Chain
    step in the business process definition in order to view questionnaire responses.
  • Security: These domains in the System functional area:
    • Business Process Administration
    • Manage: Business Process Definitions
Workday enables business process approvers and reviewers to look at the results of questionnaires that users completed in prior steps of the business process. Each user who completes a questionnaire has a unique response. Multiple users can't share the same response.
You can't review questionnaire results on a
Consolidated Approval
step. You must add a separate
Approval
step to do so.
  1. From the related actions menu of an
    Approval
    or
    Approval Chain
    step on the business process, select
    Business Process
    Configure Supporting Information
    .
    You can configure supporting information on some
    Action
    steps when there's a questionnaire in a previous step of the business process. Example:
    Review Employee Hire
    action step.
  2. Select an
    Effective Date
    .
    The default effective date is the current date.
  3. Enter the
    Time Zone
    .
    The default time zone is the user's current time zone. You can only enter a time zone if you select the
    Business Process Configuration Time Zone
    check box on the
    Edit Tenant Setup - System
    task. When you enter:
    • The current date, the changes take effect on the day of processing in the specified time zone. Users in other time zones see the changes at 00:00 (midnight) in the specified time zone.
    • A future date, the changes take effect at midnight on that date in the specified time zone and at the corresponding date and time in other time zones.
    • A past date, the changes take effect at 23:59:59 on that date in the specified time zone and at the corresponding date and time in other time zones.
  4. In the
    Complete Questionnaire Step
    prompt, select a questionnaire completed in a prior
    Complete Questionnaire
    step in the business process.
    When you copy a business process definition that includes a
    Complete Questionnaire
    step, Workday also copies any supporting information configured on the corresponding
    Approval
    and
    Approval Chain
    steps to the new business process definition. If a questionnaire is inactive or isn't allowed for that business process, Workday doesn't copy the questionnaire or the supporting information to the new business process definition.
When the business process is assigned to the approver or reviewer, the name of the questionnaire is displayed in the
Additional Information
section. Click the number next to
Respondents
to view the answers to each question for each respondent to the questionnaire. You can also export the questionnaire responses to Excel or PDF formats.
