Concept: Workday VNDLY Home Page

The Workday VNDLY home page serves as your starting point and acts as a landing page with key information and links to make it easy to navigate to action items. The home page content will vary based on the role of each user and how you configure your tenant. Example: A resource manager views data for jobs that they have visibility to whereas an administrator, who has access to the whole organization, views jobs across all resource managers.

Header

The header provides access to the various modules of Workday VNDLY and includes menus with additional navigation options. The
More
menu provides access to numerous options including the
Company Settings
page for configuration settings to customize Workday VNDLY for your environment.
The
Tasks
drawer next to your name provides easy access to a filtered list of tasks:
  • My Tasks
    : list of tasks specifically assigned to you.
  • All Tasks
    : list of tasks assigned to user roles that you belong to.
Hovering over your name provides access to:
  • My Profile
  • Notification Preferences
  • Switch Account
  • Manage Delegation
  • Sign Out
Workday VNDLY uses a responsive display based on the device, screen size, and display magnification. The header might display across the top of the page or collapse on the left side and it’s accessible by clicking the hamburger icon.

Cards

Below the header, a set of cards related to key areas of Workday VNDLY display relevant metrics to each of those areas (depending on the setup of your environment):
  • Jobs
  • Work Orders
  • Pending Modifications
  • Contractors
  • SOWs
  • RFP
Clicking the metric numbers quickly links you to the main page of the relevant area. If you click one of the more specific metrics within the card, the related page opens filtered to that category. Example: When you click the
On Hold
number in the
Jobs
card, the
Jobs
page opens with the filter of
Current Status
set to
On Hold
. You can filter the data as needed and save the filters on the related page. The filters don't affect the filtered data displayed in the scorecards on the home page.
The cards displayed are dependent on the functionality enabled in your environment. Example: You will only view the
SOWs
card if you have SOW enabled in your environment.

Quick Actions

A group of quick action buttons display below the cards, enabling you to jump to common actions. The buttons vary based on the security permissions assigned to your role.

Tasks

The
Tasks
section on the home page enables you to view important to-do items by category. A maximum of 14 task categories can display, and you can click a task category to view those tasks in the
Tasks
list. From the
Tasks
list, you can set up filters and view approvals.

Adjacent to the
Tasks
widget, is a section containing 2 tabs:
