Delegation (33:38)

Fall 2022 Virtual Open Lab recording

  • Setup Delegations
  • View Delegations
  • Act as a Delegate

Cindy Presson

Personnel who are either temporarily assigning tasks they're responsible for in Workday to another employee (due to being out of the office or on vacation) or personnel acting as a Delegate

Recording note: Answers to the questions posed during the recorded session include:

  • Can a Delegate adjust unmatched time clock entries if delegated to Enter Time?
    • I have so far been unsuccessful in entering time while proxied as an OPS in Sandbox, and am checking with our Workday Admins to determine why that might be the case. Until I can do so, I cannot test this scenario. I do know that a Supervisor/Manager can adjust unmatched Time Clock events, so a Delegate for Time Approval (Inbox tasks) should be able to do so.
  • How do you remove or end a Delegation?
    • As we reviewed in the session, removing the row and clicking Submit will remove the Delegation; only the original Delegator can do so.
  • Can a Delegate remove a Delegation?
    • No; Delegations can only be seen and accessed by the DELEGATOR. Although the Delegate receives a notification that they have been named as a Delegate, they do not have access to the Delegation itself, so cannot change it. This is one reason, however, it’s critical to communicate with someone you wish to Delegate to prior to creating the Delegation.
