Reference: Supported Configuration Types for Solutions

Workday supports various types of top-level Configurations and Dependent Configurations:
  • Top-level Configurations
     are Workday items such as Calculated Fields, Custom Reports, or integration systems. You can add them to a Solution manually (for Standard Solutions). Alternately, Workday can add them automatically based on filter rules (for Bulk Solutions).
  • Dependent Configurations
     are Workday items that support a Top-level Configuration, such as Calculated Dates, Custom Analytic Ranges, or Integration Attributes. If a Top-level Configuration requires a dependent Configuration in order to function, Workday adds it to a Solution automatically. You can’t add dependent Configurations manually or in bulk.
    Items that are normally Top-level Configurations can also act as Dependent Configurations. Example: You add a Custom Report (Top-level) that requires several Calculated Fields (usually Top-level). In this case, Workday automatically adds those Calculated Fields as Dependent Configurations of the Custom Report. You
    don’t
     need to add those Calculated Fields to the Solution separately.
You can include only Workday items that fall into either a Top-level or Dependent Configuration Type in a Solution.

Top-Level Configuration Types

  • Analytic Indicator
  • Business Process Definition
    When you publish or migrate a business process definition , Workday doesn’t include:
    • Future-dated effective changes in the business process definition. The definition includes only the configuration that is effective as of the moment that the publish or migrate action occurs.
    • Formatting for Help text.
  • Calculated Field
  • Checklist
  • Cloud Collection (Studio Project)
  • Condition Rule
  • Custom Object
  • Custom Report
    Workday includes report layouts (created in Workday Studio) associated with a custom report when sharing a custom report configuration. If you want to prevent sharing the report layout, make a copy of the custom report. Then remove the report design from the copy, and share the copy of the report, rather than the original.

Unsupported Configuration Types

You can include as part of a Solution only Workday items that fall into either a Top-level or Dependent Configuration Type (such as PGP Private Keys).

Dependent Configuration Types

Any Top-level Configuration Type can also be a Dependent Configuration Type.
