- Delegations are temporary reassignments of tasks to another user, enabling that user to perform individual actions on your behalf.
- All requests to delegate will go through a manager for approval.
- You should delegate a specific business processes from your Inbox, for a specified period of time. We recommend not to delegate the entirely inbox and remember to click "Retain access to Delegated Tasks"
- Workday also enables you to delegate the Initiating Action of specific business processes (i.e., a VP can delegate the ability to create expense reports to their executive assistant). Not all business process are eligible to initiate on your behalf.
- Delegation does not confer access to view your personal information.
- Delegating an approval task does not absolve the person delegating the task of their responsibilities. They are still accountable for the delegate’s actions as it related to the delegated task.
- Delegates will start receiving the delegated tasks only when new transactions are initiated. Any transactions already initiated will continue to flow to the original user.
- Attach any supporting files, such as an email message accompanying the requested delegation change, to be included as part of the business process event.
- Both you and either the delegate or the alternate delegate receive confirmation notifications when the delegations go into effect.
- Delegates can also request reassignment for any delegated tasks, but they cannot delegate any delegated tasks to another worker.
- Any delegated tasks will be recorded in the Process History with the words “On Behalf of”, followed by the name of the delegator.
