Workday has two major releases of enhancements and new functionality annually, and the next release is March 12. This update includes a new search feature on the external careers site that allows a split view so applicants can view job details without leaving the search results page.

While this will primarily impact our external job applicants, the HR community needs to be aware of the changes should they receive questions.

The “Historical eTravel - Payment Request” Tableau report now has Payment Request Status and T-number as available search parameters. 

The “Historical eTravel - Travel Exception” Tableau report now has T-number as an available search parameter. 

The "Find Internal Service Delivery Lines by Cost Center" report has been enhanced to include the line-item description from the Internal Service Delivery along with all the funding Worktags used. Enhancements listed below.

The "Find Purchase Order Summary - OSU" report has been enhanced to include the listed fields on the report output. This report replaces "Find Purchase Orders." If line level detail for purchase orders is needed, users can utilize the "Find Purchase Order Details - OSU" report. Enhancements to report output listed below.

Welcome to the first installment of the Three Years of Tableau blog series.

As the situation in Ukraine and eastern Europe evolves, many Buckeyes are reaching out with concerns about how this conflict could affect our systems and the university, should there be an increase in cybersecurity threats. Our Digital Security and Trust team is always on the job, with numerous tools looking for vulnerabilities and potential issues around the clock. As always, our Ohio State community plays a major part in keeping the university safe.

The materials from the e-Activity session held Thursday, February 10, are available for viewing. The links to the e-Activity recording and slide deck can be found in the e-Activity folder. Note: If you have an osumc.edu address and receive an error when trying to access the files, use the "Request Access" link.
