Some types of information are only applicable to certain countries or regions. For other types of information, countries and regions have varying policies on tracking the information. You can enable, hide, or require information with localized fields according to country-specific settings for areas, such as:

Contact Information

Personal Information

Staffing

Access the

Maintain Localization Settings

task.

As you complete the task, consider:

Optie	Omschrijving
Applies to Person Type	Filter by person type to view applicable localized fields.
Allow for Countries or Regions	Select the countries or regions in which you want to enable the relevant localized field. If a country displays in the field, only workers in that country have the option to enter the localized field on the Edit Personal Information task. To hide the localized field, clear a country or region from this field. Workday hides this column if there are no countries or regions listed.
Require for Countries	This column only displays in areas that have localized fields you can require for specific countries. If the field is blank, all workers have the option to leave the localized field blank on the Edit Personal Information task. If a country displays in the field, only workers in that country are required to enter the localized field on the Edit Personal Information task.
Enforce Required in Web Services	If you required a localized field, you can select this check box to require the localized field in the relevant web services.
Active	To activate your settings, select the check box.

The localized fields you hide or require in the

Maintain Localization Settings

task override any settings for the related optional fields in the

Configure Optional Fields

task. Example: If you hide the

Reason

optional field on the Manage Probation Periods
business process, but you require the

Probation Period: Reason

localized field in the

Maintain Localization Settings

task for France, the field will be required for users managing probation periods in France.

Select the

Active

check box to activate the localized field settings.
