domain in the System functional area.

To have more control over what users see in your tasks, you can set up optional fields in business processes as:

Hidden for all users or security groups.

Required for all users or security groups.

Not enterable for all users or security groups.

Access the

Configure Optional Fields

task.

Select the task or process from the

By Functional Area

prompt.

As you complete the task, consider:

Option	Description
Field	Available options depend on the business process or task of the functional area that you select.
Criteria	For Security Group , select the groups that the Field is Hidden For or Required For . When a user is member of a security group that doesn't have a field configured as hidden, the field is visible. The field is visible even when Workday hides the field for other security groups that the user is a member of.
Enforce Required in Web Services	This functionality only applies if the functional area implements it. Select to enforce required fields on all web services within the functional area. Clearing this check box enables you to correct data without populating every field on the web service. Example: The Correct Award web service enables you to update information in Workday without populating every field. If you select this check box, and leave any required fields blank on the web service, you'll get an error.
Hidden For	Hides the Field from the users and security groups in this field.
Required For	Requires the Field for the users and security groups in this field.
Not Enterable For	Displays the Field for the users and security groups in this field. The field isn't editable. If the task or business process doesn't support view-only fields, Workday displays this grid column but doesn't display a select field.
