Concept: Home Page Workspace

The

Home

workspace in the

System Admin Hub

provides a single place for home page configurations.

Home Cards Workspace

provides you with a central location to add and configure home page cards.

Home Page Configuration

enables you to configure the widgets your users see on their home page.

Home Page Settings

enables you to customize certain sections of the home page.

Quick Actions

provides users with direct access to frequently used items.

Home Cards Workspace

Workday displays published and unpublished cards on the

Added Cards

table. By clicking the header on

Added Cards

, you can sort the data in a meaningful order for analysis.

You can click to add a card through the

Add Card

button located on the right-side of the page. Cards on the

Added Cards

section remain unpublished to your workers' home page until you select the

Publish

option on the card. You can

Publish

Unpublish

, and

Remove

multiple cards all at once. You must edit and complete all required fields for external cards before you can publish the card to the Home page.

You can't change which section cards and links display in. You can also preview how the cards display on the Workday home page. You can select the card and then the

Preview

option from the Actions button on the right side of the grid. You can only preview some Workday-delivered cards.

You can sort the cards in the

Added Cards

and

Available Cards

table that enable you to search, edit, and organize your cards more easily.

These cards provide workers with access to information from a central place and display in the

Daily Brief

section on the home page.

You can also create an external card by selecting the

Create External Card

option from the

Available Cards

section.

You can click the

Card Admin Guide

icon to review the card details in the Workday Administrator Guide.

Workday-Delivered Cards

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

First Disappears On

Repeats Every

The

Display Summary

field summarizes your configured display schedule.

External Cards

We plan to retire the External Cards feature for Journeys, also known as Journeys Custom Cards. Refer to the retirement release note Journeys External Home Page Cards for details.

You must have access to Workday Journeys to use external cards. External cards aren't available for the Workday Student product.

The external cards that you publish to the Workday home page display for employees that either:

Have access to the View: Custom Card
domain in the Journeys functional area, or

Meet the condition rules that apply to the external card.
