News: Workday Rising 2020 Cancelled

Workday Rising

Workday Rising is an annual event conducted by workday for an educational, networking, and inspirational experience.

It was communicated by Workday earlier that this year 2020 Workday Rising would be moving to a global digital experience in order to protect the safety and well-being of Workday Community in the tough times of COVID19. However, Workday withdrew the thought of planning the Workday Rising digital experience too for 2020. Hence it is officially Cancelled. 

Instead of Workday Rising, in the month of  October 2020 there will be a planned digital event - Conversations for a Changing World

The next anticipated Workday Rising will be in 2021 at Las Vegas and Stockholm 

A  typical Workday Rising will have

What is Workday Customer Central?

Customer Central

We often listen to this term Customer Central in Workday. Its a Workday tenant that sits on top on all non-production tenants, which allows customers to view all non-production tenants in one place. 

Using Config Catalog in the Customer Central you can make your tenants back to Factory Default configs. Customer Central is a new tenant in each customer environment that resides over all customer non-production tenants during their life as a customer. Customers must have a Customer Central tenant in order to access the tools. No customer data is housed within Customer Central. It only provides a means for managing other tenants and access to the new tools

There are certain tools that are accessible through Customer Central.

• Tenant Health Dashboard - An availability status of each of the tools, Information relating to the setup of each user in the tenant
• Configuration Catalog - Migrate specific data sets from Factory default to non-prod tenants
• Access of all non -prod Tenants - Centralized view, easy to access and maintain.
