Steps: Set Up Workday Usage Metrics

Steps: Set Up Workday Usage Metrics

To access Workday Usage Metrics reports and emails, create a user-based security group and grant permissions for Workday Usage Metrics security domains.
Workday calculates the metrics on the first Sunday of each month and makes data available when the calculation job completes. For the calculation job to run successfully for your tenant, you must have a worker in the security group you created. If no worker is in the security group as of the first Sunday of the month, the calculation job won't run. Additionally, to receive the monthly Workday Usage Metric email, don't block the Workday email address in your network.
  1. Create User-Based Security Groups.
    Configure a user-based security group for users to view Workday usage metrics data.
  2. Access the
    Domain Security Policies for Functional Area
    report.
    Security:
    Security Configuration
    and
    Security Activation
    in the System functional area.
  3. Select
    System
    from the
    Functional Area
    prompt.
  4. From the related actions menu of the
    Domain Security Policy
    for these domains, select
    Domain Security Policy
    Enable
    :
    • Workday Usage Metrics
    • Workday Usage Metrics Email
    • Workday Usage Metrics Rerun Email
  5. From the related actions menu of the
    Domain Security Policy
    for each Workday Usage Metrics domain, select
    Domain Security Policy
    Edit Permissions
    .
    For each security domain, add your usage metrics user-based security group and grant additional permissions that best fit your organization.
    If you can view the
    Workday Insight Security Group (auto-created)
    or the
    Workday Insight Report Users (auto-created)
    security groups, don't remove either security group.
  6. Activate Pending Security Policy Changes.
Run the
Workday Usage Metrics Status
report to verify the status of your usage metrics security permissions.
