Search Category and Synonym Setup

Search Categories

You may be wondering why my search results are pointed to a specific category ( mostly Common) once you type your words in the search bar and hit enter.

To change this default, you need to access the task "Edit Tenant Setup - Search".  Make sure you have enough permissions to access this task.

Under Search Category, change it to your preferred Category. (In the second screen shot below)

Below screen shows the keyword 'hire' and the category on the left pointing to Common.

Search Synonyms

Search Synonyms are something which you want to see in the search results based on what you predefine. 

Say, for Example when you type Affordable Care and search in the search bar, it results in some reports and tasks. Affordable care is often called as Obama Care, so if you want to refer the affordable care, you can simply search for obama care as a synonym. Here 

        Workday Term is Affordable Care

               Synonym is Obama Care

Access the task "Edit Tenant Setup - Search" under Search Synonym Workday currently has a "Tenant Setup - Search" area, this allows you to create synonymous search terms and associate them with WD delivered terms. e.g. Employee = Worker, Workers etc.

Do remember this is not ad search prefixes, 

Search Category and Search Synonym Setup

Synonyms in different languages can be listed together. However, if many synonyms will be defined across several languages, it is recommended to define synonyms in the tenant base language and then use the Business Object Translation task to create translations in other languages.

Search Prefixes

What if you want to search for a specific items in Workday? Say, you wanted to see only Supervisory Organizations when you type in your keyword in the search bar.

Workday Search Prefixes

To Find: Any Object that you want to find in specific, Say it reports or Business Objects or Organizations
Type This Prefix: the prefix to be used while searching to view specific results
Search Category: Categories that this item belongs to. Like a tag.

For Example:

to find only Supervisory organizations, begin your search text with 'sup:'

to find only workers, begin your search text with 'worker:'

to find only integrations, begin your search text with 'intsys:'

to find only report definitions, begin your search text with 'rd:'

To my knowledge this is delivered and maintained by Workday and you do not have a way to edit the search prefixes.
