Concept: Virus Scanning

Concept: Virus Scanning

Workday provides a virus scanning service that automatically scans for viruses and blocks suspicious files from uploading. Workday scans files that candidates upload through external career sites and transactional documents and nonmedia files that users upload on tasks such as:
  • Add Worker Document
  • Create Expense Report
  • Create Supplier Invoice
  • Apply to Job
  • Refer a Candidate
Workday uses industry-standard virus scanning tools. However, Workday doesn't guarantee that the tools scan all files or detect all viruses.

Limitations

The virus scanning service doesn't scan:
  • Some media files (Example: video uploads).
  • File uploads larger than 30MB.
  • Files imported using web services and integrations.
