Workday uses the audit tags and tagged instances to track these changes to the instances in your tenant:
  • What changes to relationships and attributes occur on the tagged instance and what changes occur on the related instances.
  • Whether you add, edit, or delete relationships and attributes of the instance.
  • Who changed the instances.
  • When you changed the instances.
You want to enable your company to hire contract employees in the United States of America. You add the
United States of America
to the condition rule of a business process step on the
Hire (Default Definition)
business process.
You also want to audit the changes you made to the business process step. You create an audit tag and assign the instances you want to audit to it. For the
Primary Business Object
, you select
Business Process Definition
and for the
Primary Instance
you select
Hire (Default Definition)
.
You run the
Audit Trail Report
to see details about the changes that you make to the business process step:
  • The version of Workday in which you run the report.
  • The date and time you make the change.
  • The audit tag for which you run the report.
  • The name of the primary business object (business process definition) and primary instance (Hire (Default Definition)).
  • The class of the instance (condition item) that changes.
  • The instance that changes.
  • Who makes the change.
  • How you make the change.
Use the
Audit Trail Report
to monitor any changes you make to the instances that you're tracking. The report returns audit entries for changes to instances that are related to the primary instance that you're auditing.
Use the
Audit Tag by Tag Report
to view all of the instances you tag with audit tags. The report returns all audit tags in your tenant. It also displays whether those audit tags are inactive and displays the primary instances in each audit tag.
Use the
Audit Trail Configuration Report
to view the relationships that Workday uses to track changes to related instances in the
Audit Trail Report
. This report also displays the Workday service updates in which Workday adds the relationship to, or removes the relationship from, usage on the
