Send Scheduled Reports as Attachments

Send Scheduled Reports as Attachments

With this release, Workday enables end users to schedule matrix and model reports as Excel attachments in email notifications. Recipients can then download the attachments from their email notifications.
This functionality is only available to Adaptive Planning Limited Preview customers at this time. We plan to deliver this to all customers on September 21, 2024.
This feature is available to Workday and Adaptive Planning customers using only Adaptive email notifications.

Business Benefits

Report recipients can review report results in the convenience of their email notification without having to navigate to the application.

Changes

We add:
  • A new option in
    Administration
    General Setup
    to enable attachments with scheduled notifications.
  • A new
    Send Attachments in Notifications
    permission.
After enabling the new option and with the required permission, you can see the new
Send Report as Attachment
option when creating a schedule.

What’s Coming Next

We plan to enable Scheduling Report Attachments for Workday Adaptive Planning customers using Workday Notifications in a future update.

What Do I Need to Do?

You need to enable the feature from Administration, General Setup. After enabling the feature, you can schedule matrix and model report notifications with attachments. Optionally, you can enforce password protection on the schedule.
You need these permissions for scheduling reports:
  • Create Report Schedules
    .
  • Send Attachments in Notifications
    .
  • (Optional)
    Manage all Report Schedules
    .
  • Download to Excel
    . Both schedulers and recipients need this permission.
Also, you need to verify that email IDs exist for the notification recipients.

What Happens If I Do Nothing?

You'll see no changes in Adaptive Planning if you don't enable this feature. The ability to schedule reports as attachments won't be available in your tenant.
