Copy Reports

Security:
  • Custom/Standard Report Copy
     domain in the Tenant Non-Configurable functional area.
  • Set Up: Tenant Setup - General
     domain in the System functional area.
You can create a new custom report by copying any:
  • Custom report.
  • Report on the
    Workday Standard Reports
     report that lists
    Report Writer
     in the
    Type
     column.
Some standard reports are available as worklets in dashboards, but you can’t search for nor copy them. These reports don’t display on the
Workday Standard Reports
 report.
  1. Access 1 of these tasks:
    • Copy Custom Report
    • Copy Standard Report to Custom Report
  2. (Optional) For custom composite reports, select the
    Copy Subreports
     check box on the
    Copy Custom Report
     task to copy the underlying subreports for the copied composite report.
    Workday appends a timestamp to each subreport with the same name where the timestamp represents the:
    • 4-digit year.
    • 2-digit month.
    • 2-digit day.
    • 2-digit hour.
    • 2-digit minute.
    • 2-digit second.
    • 3-digit millisecond.
    • Time zone.
    Example:
    2023 03 10 09 39 45 440 -0800
    .
For copied subreports, update the sharing permissions from the populated
Don't share report definition
 selection.
You can access the
Hide Workday Delivered Report
 task to hide the original standard report so that you don't have 2 versions of the report on:
  • Menus.
  • Related actions menus.
  • Scheduling options.
  • Search results.
You can't hide the report when Workday references it in another location, including integrations or scheduled report groups. When you hide standard reports, Workday doesn't display them in searches. If you can't find a specific report, access the
Hide Workday Delivered Report
 task to determine if you hid it.
