Concept: Dashboards

Dashboards consolidate management information and actionable items in a single location. Users access dashboards based on configurable security.
You can use the
Maintain Dashboards
report to run, edit, and delete the Workday-delivered and custom dashboards in your tenant. You can also add menus and announcements to dashboards.

Workday-Delivered Dashboards

Workday delivers dashboards with worklets that are specific to them. Workday sometimes builds these worklets with the Report Writer and report-specific calculated fields. You can copy and modify these worklets if you have unique requirements. You can add additional custom worklets to these dashboards using the Report Writer. Workday optimizes performance by caching most of the delivered worklets for these dashboards.
Workday delivers standard dashboards intended for managers in distinct functional areas, such as the
Expenses
,
Onboarding
,
Recruiting
,
Reporting
, or
Financial Executive
dashboards.

Custom Dashboards

In addition to standard dashboards, you can configure and deploy an unlimited number of custom dashboards. Each custom dashboard can have its own security domain in the System functional area. You can use the
Maintain Dashboards
report to run, edit, and delete custom dashboards.

My Dashboard

You can configure a personal dashboard of expanded worklets, secured to the
Landing Page - My Dashboard
domain in the System functional area.
