How Workday Affects You (6/15/2016)
This week鈥檚 project update focuses on preparing the 蘑菇tv community for the transition to Workday terminology.
While some of the terminology differs only slightly from what we are accustomed to today, Workday introduces a variety of new terms and acronyms. Some examples of new terms include a 鈥減ayslip鈥� currently known as 鈥減ayroll deposit slip.鈥� A 鈥渟pend authorization鈥� is comparable to an 鈥渁uthorization to travel.鈥� Other terms to which the community will be exposed include Financial Data Model (FDM), worklet, business process (BP) and worktags. A glossary of commonly used terms and a crosswalk of legacy to Workday terminology is available on the 蘑菇tv Workday website at http://www.lsu.edu/workday/terminology.php. Updates are made frequently to this resource based on feedback from the 蘑菇tv community.
An overview video is also available on the site鈥檚 homepage or by clicking . This overview introduces some of the new terms while also introducing you to some of the employee direct access features in Workday. These resources and a wealth of other training aids are available at http://www.lsu.edu/workday/training.php.
If you have any questions about new or different terminology, please send a request via the 鈥淨uestions or Concerns?鈥� link on the 蘑菇tv Workday website.
We look forward to working with you as we make this transition together.
Have a great Workday!
