The Workday release 2022R2 brings in a host of features/updates that spans across all the modules.
To be precise, 1314 updates. While not all of them will make it to the Production Tenant as part of this release, some of these features are automatically available for all workday customers – depending on upon the usage of the respective Workday products/modules.
Other updates may or may not require Workday’s help to configure or enable them for usage in the customer’s workday tenant.
After methodical analysis, we have shortlisted what we believe are the key features of this release
– Improvement of User Experience.
– Ease of performing workday transactions.
– Unique out of the box solutions to enhance existing functionality and support the external system
