How to Use Workday Documentation RK Update

Welcome to our documentation. We recommend that you use Chrome for Windows and macOS because some features don't work well with other browsers.

The Workday Documentation offers these features:

Feature	How It Works
Navigation	Click the Workday logo or Workday Documentation on the top left of any page within our documentation to access the home page. When you want to drill into a section of content, select the caret icon next to the text instead of the text itself. Example: From the home page, when you select Human Capital Management , select the caret icon next to Worker Information to get to the next section level. Use the breadcrumbs above any topic title to orient yourself within the documentation, especially after navigating to a topic from your search results. Navigate through a book by clicking the previous and next topic links at the bottom of each topic. Some Workday guides require log in credentials to view the content. When you click a link to one of these guides, Workday prompts you to log in. For access, contact your HR or IT administrator.
User Type	We organize content on the Home page by these user types: Administrators: How to configure, implement, and use Workday. This content requires you to log in to view it. Users: How to use Adaptive Planning, Strategic Sourcing, Peakon Employee Voice, and more. Developers: Access to Workday Extend and API resources. Some of this content requires you to log in to view it.

Multilingual	You can display content in your preferred language by selecting the globe icon at the top of the documentation home page. When you select a language other than English, we display all of links that the English home page has, but we add a globe icon next to the links that have content translated in the language you selected. You can also search in different languages.
