There are several ways to get the help you need.

• Reference Guides - View step-by-step instructions in the Workday Support app (the life buoy icon on the homepage).
• Workday Search Bar - Type a few characters, keyword(s), or prefix for a list of search results. Customize the filter categories to expand or narrow your search results.
• Workday Assistant - Find answer to many basic questions with this automated chatbot. This is another easy option to find what you’re searching for. For example, if you want to view your existing requisitions, simply type “purchase” in the search field, and it will provide a list of all recent purchases.
