Concept: Custom Search Topics
You can use custom search topics to provide a centralized space to create, edit, and delete search links for specific topics. You can configure search topics to fit your tenant’s needs and maximize the findability of your links, tasks, custom reports, or extend cards.
You can find custom search topics only using a simplifed search.
The
Maintain Search Topics
task uses the same security domains as those for Edit Tenant Setup - Assistant
that provide access to Workday Assistant. See Steps: Set Up Workday Assistant. You can:
- Create a custom search topic that links users to external links, standard tasks, custom reports, or Extend Cards through admin-defined queries.
- Edit currently delivered assisted search topics to link to an external source, a different task, a custom report, or an Extend Card.
A custom search topic consists of:
- A name and a description field to define and identify the custom topics you create.
- Search Query fields to define different phrases and questions that you want your topic to surface.
- Options to configure 1 of these as a link or card to surface:
- Extend Card
- External link
- Workday standard task
- Custom report
- Workday displays a card on the Simplified Search page for the user when they have security permissions for the linked topic.
You can access the
Maintain Search Topics
task to edit custom search topics.
