Workday follows a bi-annual release schedule, with updates rolling out every March and September. This predictable cadence allows us to plan ahead, ensuring our systems stay current with the latest innovations and enhancements.
Each release includes a mix of automatic and optional updates, with some requiring additional support for implementation. Before every update, the Workday project team carefully reviews the release details, prepares necessary adjustments, and conducts thorough regression and release testing. Additionally, they manage communications and training updates to ensure a smooth transition.
The global navigation menu features Workday-defined global navigation menu categories that automatically sort and categorize the navigation items into user-centric groups. This improves discoverability and users' navigation experience.
With this release, Workday automatically assigns the menu items in the default order of categories:
External Links are positioned below More.
Note: The default sort order for Professional categories is alphabetical.
The Add and Edit buttons at the bottom of the menu tab allow users to add, remove, and reorder menu items within the same category.
The mobile home page features an improved user experience with a more intuitive section organization, making it easier to navigate. This update also enhances the performance and usability of the feature.
