Filter Operators

Filter Operators

Below are the different Operators available when you try using filters.

Text Operators

Operator	Description
is blank	Field value is empty.
is not blank	Field value isn’t empty.
equal to	Field value is equal to comparison value. Case insensitive. Example: Cat is equal to cat.
not equal to	Field value isn't equal to comparison value. Case insensitive. Example: Cat is not equal to cat.
contains	Comparison value is a subset of field value. Case insensitive. Example: Cat contains AT.
contains (case sensitive)	Comparison value is a subset of field value. Example: Cat contains at.
does not contain	Comparison value isn't a subset of field value. Case insensitive. Example: Cat does not contain dog.
does not contain (case sensitive)	Comparison value isn't a subset of field value. Example: Cat does not contain AT.

Single Instance and Multi-Instance Operators

Field Type	Operator	Usage
Single Instance	in the selection list	Comparison value is one of the possible field values. Example: A is in the selection list A, B, C.
Single Instance	not in the selection list	Comparison value isn't one of the possible field values. Example: D is not in the selection list A, B, C.
Multi-Instance	any in the selection list	Field value is one of the possible comparison values.
Multi-Instance	none in the selection list	Field value isn't one of the possible comparison values.
Single Instance Multi-instance	is empty	Field value is blank.
Single Instance Multi-instance	is not empty	Field value isn't blank.
Single Instance Multi-instance	count is equal to	The number of field values is equal to the comparison value. Example: To view workers with 2 dependents, set a filter for Dependents where count is equal to a Comparison Value of 2.
Single Instance Multi-instance	count is not equal to	The number of field values isn't equal to the comparison value. Example: To view workers with dependents, set a filter for Dependents where count is not equal to a Comparison Value of zero.
Single Instance Multi-instance	count is greater than	The number of field values is greater than the comparison value. Example: To view workers with more than 1 dependent, set a filter for Dependents where count is greater than a Comparison Value of 1.
Single Instance Multi-instance	count is greater than or equal to	The number of field values is greater than or equal to the comparison value. Example: To view workers with 1 or more dependent, set a filter for Dependents where count is greater than or equal to a Comparison Value of 1.
Single Instance Multi-instance	count is less than	The number of field values is less than the comparison value. Example: To view workers with fewer than 2 dependents, set a filter for Dependents where count is less than a Comparison Value of 2.
Single Instance Multi-instance	count is less than or equal to	The number of field values is less than or equal to the comparison value. Example: To view workers with 2 or fewer dependents, set a filter for Dependents where count is less than or equal to a Comparison Value of 2.
Single Instance Multi-instance	exact match with selection list	Field value matches exactly with comparison value. For single instance fields, this operator restricts a prompt so that it accepts a single value only. To enable a prompt for a single instance field to accept multiple values, use in the selection list.
Single Instance Multi-instance	subset of the selection list	Field value is a subset of the comparison value. Blank field values are a subset of the comparison values.
Single Instance Multi-instance	superset of the selection list	Comparison value is a subset of the field value. Blank comparison values are a subset of the field values.
Single Instance Multi-instance	NOT exact match with selection	Field value doesn’t exactly match the comparison value.
Single Instance Multi-instance	NOT subset of the selection list	Field value isn’t a subset of the comparison value. Blank field values are a subset of the comparison values.
Single Instance Multi-instance	NOT superset of the selection list	Comparison value isn’t a subset of the field value. Blank comparison values are a subset of the field values.

Business Object Translations

Business Object Translations

This is a report to view the attributes of the specified business object, their base values, and translated values for the specified user language, if any exist. 

You can determine which instances have translations and which still need to be translated.

You can see the below Target Language Value.

Delegation in Workday

Delegation is the assignment of any responsibility or authority to another person (normally from a manager to a subordinate) to carry out specific activities. Here in Workday, we can say that Tasks and Reports and inbox items can be delegated to other peers or managers to be completed on their behalf.

This Delegation is majorly used when a manager is on Leave and certain task needs to be completed, the Manager can delegate his tasks to someone else who can complete in his absence. And this is used in Production Tenants. For Non-production Tenants also you may use, but you have a better way doing this in the form of  Start Proxy - Stop Proxy

How to setup Delegations in Workday?
Go to the task Manage Delegation Settings to setup. Here you can create or stop delegations.

This helps in viewing and managing worker's delegation settings. This Enables you to see what delegations a worker currently has active, what delegations a worker has had in the past (History) and which business processes are allowed for delegation.

Do Remember the Begin Date should NOT be a past date. It can be current or future date.

Once you click on Request Delegation Change, it will allow you to set up the delegation with the allowed Business processes.

Additionally, you can see the report My Delegations. This helps to View Current Delegations with a button to request delegation changes, Current Task Delegations, Delegation History, Delegated Tasks, and Business Processes allowed for Delegation.









From Inbox, you can view your delegations.

Below are the list of tasks and reports that can be used for Delegation.

Delegate Task - Individual Worker and Business Process Level.

View All Delegated Tasks - All delegated tasks BP's for you.

Business Process Tasks not Delegated - This report returns the list of business process steps that were not able to delegated for the Business Process Step Initiated in Date Range. Items are not Delegated because either both the Delegate and Alternate Delegate were excluded by Routing Restrictions or because the step was configured for an eSignature Integration Type.

Delegation History - View business process transactions delegated by a specified worker, with dates, status, and delegate. Enables you to see what the specified worker has delegated to whom. Required prompt: Worker Optional prompt: none

Business Processes for Delegation - View which business processes you can delegate. Enables you to view which business processes have been enabled or disabled via security for delegation. Required prompt: none Optional Prompts: Show Business Processes

Current Delegations -View all delegations for the specified organizations. Details include the delegating worker, delegation duration, delegate, affected business processes, and delegation configuration.

View My Delegation Assignments -View all your delegation assignments, the delegating worker, dates, business processes, and delegation rules. Enables you to keep track of your delegation assignments. Required prompt: none Optional prompt: none

Workday Basics - Field Types

Field Types

There are different Fields in Workday. Below are the list of field types. 

Workday supports field types such as:

• Boolean
• Numeric
• Text
• Single instance
• Multi-instance

Workday secures fields by security domains. Users must have access to the security domain to:

• Use the field in a report definition.
• View data in that field when running the report.

Workday makes understanding report fields easier by providing icons for each field type, including icons for indexed fields.

All the above said fields are self explanatory. Some of the fields which are new:

Self-referencing field type returns an instance of the Business Object.

Example: If the data source returns Workers and you set up a field for the primary business object, the self-referencing field returns a Worker.

Single instance field types represent the one-to-one relationship the primary business object has with the related business object. A single instance field contains 1 value representing the instance in the related business object that links to the primary business object.

Multi-instance field types represent the one-to-many relationship the Primary Business Object has with the Related Business Object. A multi-instance field can contain multiple values with each value representing an instance in the related business object that links to the primary business object.

There is one report by name Report Fields which enables you to view the detailing of the field which are of calculated and Workday-delivered report fields and types. And you can view Business Object Name, Field description too.
