Your users can permanently remove the Sana card from their search results page. Once they dismiss the card, it no longer appears. To enable the Sana Card to display on the home page, you'll need Sana Core or Sana Enterprise set up.

The cards display on the Workday home page for workers with security access to the:

Domain that secures the card.
Tasks and reports that the card links to.

Example: When you add the

Expiring Certifications

card on the Home page, only workers with access to the

Edit Certification

task and the

Self-Service: Certifications

domain in the Talent Core functional area can see the card.

You can edit the title, subtitle, and display a customized schedule of some of the Workday-delivered cards.

When editing a card, the

Time Before Event

and

Time After Event

fields control the display time frame of the card. The event refers to the date on which the card is anchored to display to the user.

Example: The event for the Birthday for Worker card is the user's birthday, and the event for the Anniversary for Worker card is yearly based on the user's hire date.

Example: Betty wants the View Check-ins card to display for employees for 2 weeks.

Betty edits the View Check-ins card and selects these values:

Time Before Event:
2 weeks before
Time After Event:
On the day of the event

Workday then displays the card for 2 weeks before the user's check-in date until the actual day of the check-in date.

You can customize the display schedules on the

Edit Card

task. When you select the

Use Custom Schedule

field, it enables you to override the automatic display schedule for the Workday-delivered cards.

The fields that enable you to specify exact dates and recurrence schedules are:

First displays On

The

Display Summary

field summarizes your configured display schedule.

You can consider what you want to display on your

Home Page Settings

tab.
