Concept: Report Tags

Report tags enable you to categorize reports and report output files for easier searching. You can also add report tags to a report group definition. When you schedule the report group, Workday adds the tags to the generated output file of each individual report.
Workday enables you to use these report tag types:
  • Prompt value report tags, which you can apply to a report group. You can base tags on the dynamic values of prompts in the report group prompt set. Example: You can select report tags based on prompts for company or cost center.
  • Static tags, which you can apply to an individual report or report group definition. You can select from a list of Workday-delivered report tags, or create your own from report or report group edit tasks. You can also create report tags by accessing the
    Maintain Report Tags
    task.
To create or maintain report tags, you need access to the
Report Tag Management
domain.

Inactivating or Deleting Report Tags

You can access the
Maintain Report Tags
task to inactivate or delete report tags. Consider:
  • If you deactivate a report tag, you can't apply the tag to a report output.
  • You can't delete a report tag if you use it in a report or report group definition.

Searching for Reports and Report Output Files Using Report Tags

You can search for reports with a specific report tag by using the
rdt:
prefix followed by the name of the report tag. Example: You can search
rdt: payroll
to find all custom report definitions tagged with
Payroll
.
You can access the
My Report Output Files
report to search for output files with a specific report tag. You can limit results to output files that Workday generated within a specified number of days. Example: You can locate report output files that include the
Workforce Planning
tag within the last 30 days.
