How many Exemptions are allowed on Sandbox?

Sandbox Refresh Exemptions

Workday allows up to two consecutive exemptions for refreshing Sandbox. 

What is Refresh Exemption ?

    Requesting a Sandbox Refresh Exemption simply means that the data and configurations aren't refreshed from Production that week.   

Where can we request the exemption ?

    Workday Customer Central. Navigation:

        Tenant Management > Create Tenant Request

Who can request for the exemption ?

    Exemptions can be requested by your organization's NSC (Named support contact) [usually the owners of the product in your organization] 

Points to Ponder:

• Every week Friday PST evening there will be a scheduled refresh activity in Sandbox. i.e. PROD data will be copied to SBX.
• You can't request a Sandbox refresh exemption prior to the Feature Release.
• Ad hoc Sandbox tenant refresh requests outside of our Weekly Service Update are not entertained.

Proxy Access - Non Production Tenants

Proxy Access to Non-Production Tenants

What is Proxy?

The authority to represent someone else. For example if your Manager went on leave for 10 days, and there are multiple approvals pending on his/her side which are very important or urgent. In an ideal scenario your manager can delegate his/her work items to one of his peer or manager, so that they can complete the tasks on this behalf. This is called as Delegation, which happens in the Production tenants. 

But in Non-Production tenants as they are mostly your development and testing tenants, you don't need to really setup delegations, you can do the tasks with the help of Proxy. 

Only in the non- Production tenants we have the provision to work as Proxy.

Start Proxy:

This is the task to Start Proxy as another user.

Stop Proxy:

This is a task to stop Proxy and come back to the original login what you were.

You can view details about users starting and stopping a proxy session on the Signons and Attempted Signons report.

A proxy session excludes access to certain Workday functionality as well as functionality that requires connecting to another service, including:

• Access to documents on My Reports.
• Background conversions.
• Business form printing.
• Email.
• Integrations (including Reports as a Service, REST API, and Workday Studio).
• Mobile Push Notifications.
• Notifications received through the user interface.
• Scheduled reports.
• Solutions.
• Workday Drive.
