Concept: Best Practices for Mobile Adoption

You can use these practices to simplify setup for mobile users and increase mobile adoption.

Help Users Download the Workday Mobile Application

Workday displays notices that increase awareness of the Workday mobile application and enable users to download it easily. These notices:
  • Pop up on the Home page or mobile web banner when you sign in to Workday.
  • Contain links to download the Workday mobile application from the App Store or Google Play.
You can disable these notices by selecting the
Disable Mobile App Store Links
check box on the
Edit Tenant Setup - System
task.
You can also provide these links to enable users to download the Workday mobile app from public stores:
Device Type
Link
Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.workday.workdroidapp
iPad and iPhone
https://itunes.apple.com/app/workday/id316800034
Workday mobile apps update on a different schedule from Workday Business Services, so their version numbers might vary.

Help Users Connect to Your Tenant

Users who don't know how to set up the Workday mobile application can scan a QR code from their mobile device to connect to your tenant. Workday displays a unique QR code for your tenant when you click:
  • The pop up on the Home page that displays when you sign in to Workday on desktop.
  • Organization ID
    on the
    My Account
    menu on desktop, Android, iPad, and iPhone.
Users can sign into their account on desktop to scan the QR code or get it from a coworker who already has the Workday mobile application.
The QR code uses Google Firebase Dynamic Links to populate your tenant name and web address for the user. You can disable these links by selecting the
Disable Automatic Tenant Configuration Links
check box on the
Edit Tenant Setup - System
task.
You can also email users a link that automatically configures their Workday mobile application with your tenant information. Users must access the link from a mobile device. Use these formats for the links:
Device Type
Link Format
Android
https://myworkday.com/open-android//<web_address>/<tenant_name>
iPad and iPhone
workday+https://<web_address>/<tenant_name>

Enable Mobile Authentication

You can enable these authentication types to help users access Workday faster from a mobile device:
  • Personal Identification Number (PIN).
  • Biometric (on supported devices only).
    • Fingerprint authentication (Touch ID).
    • Face ID.
