Workday

I like the app and that I can access it from my phone rather than just while I’m at work. One thing would like to see is being able to manage my direct deposit a little more freely from the app. For example if I have my income directly deposited in to two separate accounts I would like to be able to manage how much I would like in each account at a moments notice with a tap on my screen rather than doing it the hard old fashioned way and calling the corporate company and it taking weeks to make a slight change.

Confused Workday HRIS Mgr

I’m over Workday at my Company. I’m confused. Workday 30 is coming tonight/tomorrow... and I thought community said this app update was today—and your pics show the 30 version, but the app update I have is not changed from prior version. No frequently used apps, no navigation bar at the bottom, etc...Why does this download not match your screenshots??

The app is descent, could be much better. Until WD can do geofencing or distinguish between mobile and web time punches, we can’t use time entry much at all. Our managers actually just use the mobile website more than this app. Many things - it will tell you it cannot do in the app when you get them in your inbox.

Great improvements but not very “mobile”

The UI and functionality available has been steadily increasing. It’s certainly a very handy thing to have to complete common tasks on the go - except for the fact that the Touch ID functionality just doesn’t work anymore. Every time you open the app you have to log in with your username, password etc. It’s painful and makes it just that much harder to quickly do a task while on the run. I tend to give up, meaning the app has lost the value of being mobile based.

App is quite buggy

App is very slow to respond; touch log-in not properly working (works on my iphone itself so the app is the issue)- you still have to use pin even after signing in with touch login. Then app takes forever to actually get to the main screen. Not recommended.

Built for the future

To be transparent. I’m a Workday employee. I’ve spent the past 17 years working within the enterprise software industry. What I’ve learned is that technology changes rapidly. Institutions need software that can adapt to new technologies as they are introduced.

I use Workday at least a couple times a week for processing expense reports. Recording time off and managing my performance evaluation among other critical functions.

I’m especially interested in using new functionality to support learning and the budgeting and planning process.

The products are great! At Workday we call it the “Power of One”. All customers are on ONE version of the software. There is ONE elegant user experience. ONE in memory object data model. ONE security model. ONE business process framework. ONE integration platform. It’s the “Power of One” that is different by design.

Enjoy, and have a great Workday!

Convenient, but not intuitive.

It’s nice to have this with you at all times as an app on your phone. But if you put in a start time of 8 o’clock, and the time happens to be 637 when you’re doing it, the end time automatically is at 37 minutes. It would be nice if there were an easy or quick way to automatically get that minute to :00 or :30 since most people start at the top or the bottom of the hour.

Then at the out time, it does the same thing. It should into with that if I started at in o’clock, I’m going to end at an o’clock. But there’s that 37 again. It’s not a big hassle just an unnecessary inconvenience.I would think this app would intuit that my end time minutes column is probably going to be equal to my start time.

Time off

It's annoying how when you apply for leave it doesn't actually say approved or denied ... it just says completed , I'm always left wondering if I have just "completed" my request or if my manager has seen it and actioned it

WD

staff struggle to log in and find it difficult to navigate

Half functional

Not very intuitive and only about half functional compared to the browser app

Old school

This apps feels old school... Doesn't have the iOS feel to it. Also the time off section doesn't have a back/cancel button so I have to exit app and restart... Could use a bit of improvements in some areas. Thanks
