Workday recommends that you use the
Guidance Workspace
instead of Guided Tours. See: Steps: Configure QuickTips using Guidance Workspace
You can set up guided tours to help users complete tasks by displaying customized help text for selected fields. You can also provide help text translations for a guided tour after you configure it in English.
To display all guided tours that you configure on tasks in your tenant automatically, select the
Always Show Guided Tours
option in the
Information
section of the
Edit Tenant Setup - System
task. See: Reference: Edit Tenant Setup - System
When you configure a guided tour, consider:
  • Provide help text that supports your business case for the selected field. Example: If your company limits the number of hours a worker can request off per day, document this limit on the
    Daily Quantity
    field.
  • Only enable help text for fields that require specific guidance. You need to maintain the help text you create.
