Steps: Set Up Tenant for Discovery Boards

Steps: Set Up Tenant for Discovery Boards

Set up your tenant for discovery boards to gain insights for informed business decisions by:
  • Exploring your data using interactive visualizations.
  • Sharing business insights by creating a dashboard-like experience for end users.
Workday reserves the right to suspend a customer's access to Discovery Boards on Workday-delivered data sources if required to maintain tenant performance and stability. Workday will work with the affected customer to address issues in order to resume their access to Discovery Boards.
  1. Set up your tenant for Drive.
  2. (Optional) Select the
    Preferred Display Language
    for your tenant.
    Discovery Boards are localized to French Canadian, Japanese, and Korean. Workday localizes country-specific formatting for these field types:
    • Currency
    • Date/Time
    • Numeric
    Workday formats the date as
    DD/MM/YYYY
    for these locales:
    • en_AU (Australia).
    • en_GB (Great Britain).
    • en_HK (Hong Kong SAR China).
    • en_IE (Ireland).
    • en_IN (India).
    • en_NZ (New Zealand).
    • en_SG (Singapore).
    For en_CA (Canada) and en_ZA (South Africa), Workday formats the date as
    YYYY-MM-DD
    . Workday defaults the date formatting to
    MM/DD/YYYY
    for en_PH (Philippines) and all other locales. See Concept: Country-Specific Information, Locales, and Languages.
  3. Create User-Based Security Groups.
    Create an unconstrained security group, such as a user-based security group, for your discovery board users, and assign users.
    Ensure that every user who has access to the
    Discovery Boards: Create
    domain also has access to the
    Drive
    domain.
    Example: You can define or update these security groups (administered by the Security Configurator group):
    Group Name
    Group Type
    Discovery Board Administrator
    User-Based
    Report Writer
    User-Based
  4. Edit Domain Security Policies.
    Create or edit a security policy for these domains in the System functional area. Workday suggests that you use the security groups you created and edited along with the System Auditor group.
