Description: From Data to Decisions: Unlocking Strategic Workforce Insights with Workday HCM Reporting

Transcript for "From Data to Decisions: Unlocking Strategic Workforce Insights with Workday HCM Reporting": Hi, everyone. Thank you all for joining our core HCM reporting focus session today. I'm really excited for this one. From data to decisions, unlocking strategic workforce insights with Workday HCM reporting. So please note our product statement. Do you make any purchasing decisions based upon what is currently available? We'll be sure to call out, what is available and what is on the roadmap. So a few housekeeping items before we get started. This webinar is being recorded and will be emailed to you within twenty four hours. Next, if you have any questions, please use the q and a on the right hand side. So we have a great team of experts today backstage, who can help you answer those questions. And we'll also try and keep some time at the end for q and a as well. Next, we have resources for you on the right hand side so you can access, documentation that's relevant to the topics today. And then lastly, after the webinar ends, you'll receive a survey. And we'd really love to hear your feedback, so do complete it if you can. So my name is Lucy Alderson. I'm a product marketing manager at Workday focused on HR analytics. So I'll hand it over to my amazing co presenters today to introduce themselves. So, Kristin, we'll start with you. Thanks, Lucy. Kristin Vonheeder, and I lead the product management team for reporting experience, and we're responsible for all of the tools and functionality you're gonna hear about today. Aliyah? And that is Leigh Ann Irwin. As you can read here, I'm a solution consultant. I will be the one presenting the demo with this fine Amazing. Thank you both. So for today's agenda, team. we'll start with a quick introduction to core reporting, and then we'll get into some, top tips for kick starting your core reporting journey. We'll hear with Kristin on the exciting '26 r two release. We'll have a demo and then finish with q and a. So here are the some of the challenges that we hear from customers before Workday. So we know that, HR leaders are facing increasing pressure to lead with data, but trust and clarity in their data is paramount. So first is there can sometimes be a number of different tools you're trying to use, and you're trying to make sense of this data. It it can be challenging going between those tools with different levels of accessibility and trying to stitch data together to provide consistent metrics for the business. Next, it can also be difficult to keep up with the business demands. So it might be that you have a small team or it's taking too much time to get the the reports you need that are needed to ask to answer specific business questions. And then finally, we know how important it is to keep your data protected, and we recognize there's a need to open up, access for self-service, but you need to ensure that governance and and access is controlled securely. So today, we're gonna show you how vertical reporting can help you solve these key challenges, and how we're bringing even more value to you in the twenty six r two release. So before we actually get into core HCM reporting, let's talk about the data itself. So Workday core HCM brings trusted workflows, data, and processes into one intelligent core and unified data model. So that's twenty years of business operations, 1,400,000,000,000 transactions, 75,000,000 users running core HCM on this exact call. So this isn't a stat slide. This is the reason that an employee ID and Workday isn't just a number. It's linked to their cost center, their manager, their performance, their comp. So you're getting business logic and rich organizational context. And that's what core HCM reporting inherits automatically when it comes to analytics, reporting, and agents, so something you'll hear more from Kristin later. So Workday core reporting is included for every Workday customer, and our customers love using core reporting for a number of different reasons. So first, you can build secure reports, charts, and dashboards. You can explore trends and click into the data for deeper understanding or take immediate action in Workday. So you can take advantage of 5,000 plus, prebuilt report templates and a 160 plus prebuilt dashboards. You can also embed in the daily flow of work. So you can embed and distribute across workdays such as profile groups, hubs, or a business process. So that information can be provided all within the context of what you're actually doing without having to navigate away from that transaction. And then finally, enterprise wide control over data and access. So you can allow self-service access to the data because it's all connected to that Workday security model. So you're bringing relevant insights into Workday so your people don't have to dig in numerous tools to find the information they need. The end users can get the insights they need when they need them. So, let's start and take a look at some tips and guidance, when you're first getting started with core reporting. So for today's conversation, core reporting is made up of two primary tools. So that's report writer and discovery boards. So report writer is where you can build robust reports and dashboards tailored for transactional, operational, and analysis needs. So creation here is typically driven by your power users, your report writers, and report administrators. The other tool is discovery boards. So this is designed for ad hoc analysis. Discovery boards, creation expands beyond your power users to your business users, and this is thanks to the intuitive, drag and drop experience. So for today's webinar, we are going to be mainly focusing on report writer and dashboards. This is where our customers spend the majority of their time, and it's one of our key focuses in continuously sharpening these core capabilities for authors and report consumers that, they rely on every single day. So rather than trying to show you every report available in Workday, please think of these as a few recommended places, we encourage you to start. And so there are thousands of standard reports available, which can feel overwhelming. So the aim is not to give you a long list. It's to help you identify the best report for a specific purpose. So, for example, the directory reports listed here are useful when you want to explore your workforce through a particular lens by location, job profile, or job family group. Another example here is the open positions report. So with this serves a different purpose. It gives you a clear view of vacancies by organization, worker type, and, date range. So it's a strong starting point for workforce planning or recruiting conversations. So these delivered reports, can be used as they are or they can be copied and adapted. The important thing is to begin with a clear question, what am I trying to understand, and then select the report that is best suited for answering that question. So as we look at these, reports and dashboards today, think of them as practical starting points. So the detailed reports help you explore your workforce data, while the dashboards help you see the story quickly. So Kristin and Leigh Ann will build on this later, for the new capabilities that are gonna make it even easier to surface, analyze, and act on these insights. So next, here are some more top worker and position reports. So if you want to explore detailed employee data, active employees index is a particularly useful starting point. So it's a large rich list of workers and their details so you can understand questions such as how are employees distributed by location, by manager, or by supervisoryorg. Find workers is more focused on locating and filtering a specific group of people. And if you need a prebuilt workforce metric, the FTE report is useful for understanding things like workforce capacity by organization and seeing how positions are staffed. Then reports such as the new hire staffing and compensation and view employee history support more targeted HR questions. So the main takeaway here is less is more. Start with a small number of reports that are clear and useful, rather than presenting people with multiple different reports that appear similar before they have the chance to understand the differences. So once you have the right reports, dashboards help make that story immediately visible. So if you're not sure where to begin with dashboards, start with workforce composition. So this offers immediate insight and gives you a strong foundation to tailor from. So a dashboard should be quick to understand. You don't want someone scanning a large amount of detail. You want them to look at it and understand the narrative, what is changing, and what might need their attention. The headcount and distribution and trends dashboards are useful, if you're a more mature customer because they rely on that historical data. So they can help you understand trends in hires, turnover, promotion, growth, and tenure over time. Trend dashboards become increasingly useful as your organization builds history and Workday. So these are natural next step once you want to understand not only where your workforce is today, but how it's changing over time. So many customers start with the diversity dashboard. It also provides an immediate point in time insight into workforce composition, such as gender, ethnicity, management level, country, and manager population. So the takeaway here is start with one or two clear workforce questions. The most successful approach is not to build everything at once. It's to create something useful, clear, and relevant to your organization. So finally, I want to share our analytics and reporting hub, which was released last year. So this is a centralized, organized workspace for report authors and report admin to access the analytics tools, tasks, and content most relevant to their tenant. So this is delivered by Workday and configurable for each organization. The hub brings together reports, calculated fields, prompt sets, report tags, dashboards, and more. So this gives reporting teams a single destination for navigating their analytics environment and includes, report adoption and usage metrics as well. So organizations can tailor the hub by adding links to frequently asked, frequently used reports and resources, helping, teams save time and simplify that day to day work, while reducing the effort that's required to onboard new reporting team members as well. So Leigh Ann will be showing you this later in the demo, so keep an eye out too. So I'll now be handing it over to Kristin. He's gonna give us the very exciting, update on the upcoming release. Over to you, Kristin. Thanks so much, Lucy. I'm so happy to be here with all of you to share what we have for twenty six r two and some future innovation. Right. Lucy shared with you how many HCM customers we have, and I wanna just confirm for you all that absolutely every single one of our HCM core or HCM core subscription customers are using core reporting. So you can see that number there, 6,500 users in core reporting. Really, this is due to just the foundational truth of the, accurate, timely BI is essential to run any organization. And core reporting is the heartbeat of how many of you are many of you are interacting with data today, whether that's native Workday data, prism data, or soon to be inbound data cloud. We know that you're relying on report writer and discovery boards, and you're using it an awful lot. So over 6,500,000,000 executions every month and 21,000,000 active users. And because many of you are already living in core reporting, we know that we have a massive opportunity to deliver value right where you're already working. And so we wanna take advantage of what is your natural workspace for a lot of roles like HR business partners because we truly believe by embedding advanced capabilities directly into this core platform, we can support the seamless data governance many of you prefer and meet your users exactly where they want to work. Core reporting provides a powerful, real time embedded, secure platform that Lucy reviewed. And a little over a year ago, we upped our investment in core reporting and our entire roadmap is elevated, to improving this experience. And to achieve this, we're we are investing in three main areas. First, more intuitive interfaces for both your authors and consumers. Second, we wanna expand visual capabilities. And third, we want to embed AI capabilities directly into the tools and workflows that you're using today. And our goal is to help you and your users unlock new levels of efficiency and make it faster to build, easier to deliver deep, actionable insights. The first, thing that I would like to review that's coming in twenty six r two is our report analyst agent. As most of you know, the challenge today isn't a lack of data. It's the time and the skill that it can take to interpret Excel. They'll ping an analyst, ask for a new report, and this really can create an operational bottleneck. Insights is looking to solve this by empowering users to uncover insights on their own and very quickly. And I'm sharing a quote by one of our early adopters. They see the value in not having to spend all that prerequisite time anticipating every possible ask their leadership may have, but instead be able to stay fully present with leaders while the AI does the heavy lifting. And the big bonus here is there's no massive configuration. There's no semantic layer rebuilding security models because it all sits natively in the platform using existing reports. It instantly leverages all of the rich business logic that you've already built up in your reports, like calculated fields, filtering, metrics, your security. This also means you have high accuracy from day one. You simply define who has access, optionally what reports, you flip the switch, and it's ready to go. We have some best practices for how we're thinking about the best way for you to roll this out for your users. Before I start going through the list, I just wanna note that all agent use does require assigned UMSA. But let's get into, data quality. So what we're suggesting here is you start with your gold standard reports because, of course, if the underlying report is messy, the agents output will be too. You should have clear names of your fields, your column, headers, because if fieldings are unique and clear, it's gonna make a massive difference. And precise prompting. If you're aligning your prompting, your users are asking questions that align, then of course it's going to unlock incredible outputs, things like salary distribution and performance trends. On number four, prescriptive setup of edge cases. Cleaning up any currency inconsistencies, blanks, or zeros before turning on the agent is recommended because these will skew things like your averages. But but to note, the agent will flag anomalies as well, but the suggestion is best to clean up that foundation first. And then finally, we do suggest a phased rollout. You likely won't wanna open up this to everyone all at once, so we're suggesting that you secure it by user groups first. So first, say you let your report experts use it, your analysts or report admins, report authors. And then next, you may open it up to groups like your HR business partners before doing an even broader launch. The report analyst agent is going to deliver value across roles in the organization, as I have already alluded to. So let's step through them. For HR business partners, it's gonna act as an instant copilot. So instead of them drowning in data, they can quickly break down complex people reports. They can spot trends and prep for talent reviews in minutes rather than hours. And then for managers, it's gonna provide those quick self serve answers. They can get an immediate read on their team's data without having to file that ticket or waiting for analyst support. And then for report authors, it's gonna drastically reduce the noise. Because end users can ask the agent follow-up questions directly, report authors can spend less time building those one off reports. Next, I'm very excited to introduce a new dashboard experience coming in twenty six r two plus. We have a brand new experience coming. It's engineered from the ground up for unparalleled visual flexibility, friction free authoring, and a unique contextual approach to AI. Organizations will always have foundational KPIs and metrics that help guide their business end users. Take managers. Instead of thousands of leaders looking at a screen and wondering what to ask in, that AI q and a that you're used to seeing, they can start with a beautifully curated set of relevant metrics that you're providing to them. They get the best of both worlds, immediate clarity on the metrics they need to know upfront with AI's ability to help them summarize trends, look for hot spots, and then, of course, that conversational agent standing by, ready the moment they want to dive deeper. Here's a quick summary of exactly what's coming in '26 r two for our feature highlights. First, we've consolidated and streamlined everything into one single brand new analytics dashboard canvas. There's no more jumping between reports, security domains, prompt sets. You configure it all in one spot. In addition for these things, you won't need to do configuration directly in a report. If it's an eligible report, and you have access to it, you can add it directly to your dashboard. No more creating prompt sets. You're gonna be able to create prompt keys directly in your dashboard. And no more creating domains. You will be able to share the dashboard directly, and we've even added extra governance so that you can lock down the edit access of that report. Moving to the next, we have three levels of filtering moving forward. In addition to the vis and tab level you have today, we're gonna be introducing a tab dashboard tab level filtering excuse me, dashboard filtering as well. And finally, visualization capabilities, highly flexible. You'll be able to rearrange where the visualizations are with drag and drop. You'll be able to resize visualizations on the fly. No more one versus two time constraints. New dashboard views can be created so that an end user that maybe has multiple roles like an HR business partner can have a view for the orgs they support and a view for the orgs they may manage. No more updating filters every time they go in. We're also increasing the number of tabs to 15 and the number of visualizations to 12. And as our first step to helping enable you to put longer running reports on dashboards, we're increasing the time out for those visualizations to forty five seconds. And this is just what we have coming in '26 r two. We have much more coming out in future releases. Looking ahead, we're also looking to integrate AI into custom report creation with the goal of automating repetitive tasks and providing intelligent recommendations that guide you through the authoring process. Our first two skills are gonna be around creating a custom report and the data source and field recommendations that go along with that. Our core intent here is twofold. We wanna remove confusion around the right data sources and fields for your report, And we also wanna speed up the overall creation by having AI helping you do the heavy lifting for building out that report, all based on natural language. In the example that you're seeing here, we're asking for a report on workers with tenure, location, and position, and it's gonna make recommendations around the right data sources, like worker for HCM reports, along with field options. And, of course, you're gonna have complete control to iterate and refine this as you go. For report authoring agent, we're really designing this to transform how several roles across your organization are building reports. First, report authors. Instead of spending hours navigating those complex data sources, business objects, fields manually, authors are gonna be able to now simply describe what they need in natural language, and it's gonna translate that prompt into a structured custom report in a fraction of the time. Next, for report admins, where in the future when business requirements evolve or data structure shift, admins often find themselves, troubleshooting or rebuilding reports from scratch. We wanna enable the capability to help them automate, modify, and maintain all that content using AI. And then finally, for those of you for the analytics center of excellence, and COE team, success is measured by agility. And by streamlining authoring and maintenance, the report authoring agent is gonna drastically shrink that life cycle from initial business requirements to the fully vetted production ready report, we're gonna shrink that time and make it faster. Translating directly into faster decision making, freeing up those technical resources to focus on deeper strategic analysis rather than report building. In addition to the core enhancements I just showed, data cloud is coming. And with it, the ability to get zero copy access to data outside of Workday to pull in for your core reporting needs. Everything that I just showed you will not only work with native Workday data, but also work seamlessly with inbound data cloud. And chances are, as an HCM customer, you have a ton of data already in Workday. So say you have 80% of your data, your people data in Workday, since it's your primary system of record, it's much easier to bring in that last 20% of data for complete workforce visibility insights rather than taking everything out of Workday into a point solution. And these capabilities I just showed you will be ready for your inbound data. And with that, I would love to hand over to Leigh Ann to take you through some of some demonstrations of the capabilities that I just showed. Leigh Ann. Thank you. Now we're gonna bring some of these things to life. So I see a lot of questions in q and a, so, hopefully, I'll cover off on a lot of them as we go through this presentation. We're gonna first start with what Kristin shared around the analytics and reporting hub. Now this is available to all of our customers today. The analytics and reporting hub is available to be enabled through the maintain hubs area. And what this will bring you is a consolidated view of all of the tasks and, reports and what we call cards in one place for your report authors as well as your reporting analyst where security applies. I did note there is a question around existing dashboard that they might use for, report analyst and authors. You can link other dashboards in the suggested links here and configure it to make it your own. But note under the analytics and reporting hub, you can view and understand all of your custom reports and then the task associated with building and maintaining custom reports. You'll be able to understand and access tasks that deal with delivered reports. I saw some questions in the q and a around calculated fields. Within the analytics and reporting hub, you can view and understand your calculated fields. And as of today, customers can leverage what's called the deployment assistant, which can be accessed from your tenant if the UMSA assigned or from customer central if it's not to assist you in building a calculated field. So you can ask it a question, it'll tell you how to build it. So check out the deployment assistant if you have not done that today. Within the analytics and reporting hub, you can understand schedule processes, view and maintain your dashboards, access your drive. Within your drive, you'll be able to see all of your discovery boards that you might be leveraging, the delivered discovery boards that Workday offers, as well as workbooks that you might have and leverage. For those customers who do own our Prism product, you can access your Prism lineage and archit artifacts here. And then for the roles that maintain security around reports, access information around security, within reports as well and a security overview. So, again, what the analytics and reporting hub allows users to do is have a consolidated view of everything that they need around reports and analytics within Workday. The next thing I wanted to talk about is our reporting analyst agents. The reporting analyst agent is tentatively scheduled to be released in, the September time frame. Diving in and taking a look at the reporting analyst agent. The reporting analyst agent does require the UMSA to be signed as well as it will consume flex credits. Once the UMSA is signed, you will be able to see the rate card for the analytics agent within your platform consumption console. In this case, the analytics agent will allow a user to query against existing reports. So, for example, we can see that the user wants to know who is the lowest comp ratio within the my team's compensation summary report. The analyst will look through the report itself and provide a response from that natural language query. You can see embedded analytics, within the analyst itself as well and the sources of data. What we can see, we can find further information about the talent summary. So what the analytics agent is doing is providing them a link to potentially other reports that might help them answer the question that they're trying to solve. From there, we can access that additional report and be able to query against that report as well. And the value that the analytics agent, gives to users is finding the answers to the questions that they need as well as being able to link them out to actions, so analytics and analysis into actions. So in this case, we can see a high potential, high performing individual of Marcus and then be able to do things like give them a one time bonus or a task associated with this. This is real business outcomes, being able to look at a report, query and understand more of the report and find the answers that you need, and then be able to take action all within Workday using the analytics agent. Alright. The next thing we wanted to highlight today is around the new dashboarding experience. Earlier in the presentation, I saw a lot of hearts and and different emojis celebrating our new dashboarding experience. This is scheduled to be released in the twenty six r two plus time frame, so a short time after the September release. So diving in, first, we're gonna look at the author experience. We're consolidating everything into a single brand new analytics dashboard experience. No more jumping between maintaining dashboards, creating prompt sets, enabling reports, or configuring security domains. It's now all done in one spot. We enter the name, the description, and we're ready to go. Next, adding reports. You no longer have to open a report separately to enable it for a dashboard. If you have access, you can instantly find it and drop it straight into the canvas. From there, you can resize the visualization on the fly, move past old single version single versus double size constraints. You can also add and build multiple tabs to the right here on the canvas. We're also increasing both the number of visualizations per tab and the total number of tabs available. Next, I'm ready to work on prompts. Again, no more navigating away to different tasks. In this case, prompt sets. Prompt keys are available right here on the dashboard canvas. You can select your keys, input default values, and map them at either the tab or dashboard level, which is a new level. Now what you're not seeing here, because it's still under active development, is a new mapping helper that will automatically map prompts to your visualizations for you, leaving you simple review and refine you simply to review and refine. Next, for sharing. You can share directly from the screen without creating security domains. Plus, we're introducing greater governance. You can now specify exactly who is authorized to edit the dashboard, not just view it. Switching to the consumer experience, users can now create and save their own custom views in addition to the author's default. This is perfect for users with multiple roles, those who need to see different versions of the same data. Take an HR business partner, for example. Instead of constantly resetting their prompts based on various organizations they manage or support, they can simply create a dedicated view for each. We have also supplied easily visible filtering at any level to confirm or make adjustments. Finally, let's look at the layout mode. This gives consumers the flexibility to resize, rearrange visualizations exactly how they want them, or seamlessly hide the ones that aren't important for that view. With our new analytics dashboard, we're making authoring fast and unified while bringing unprecedented flexibility and control straight to the consumers. So the last thing we wanted to take a look at that is coming out in our twenty seven r one time frame is our report authoring agent. Since this is a Juntic capability, in order to use the report authoring agent, the UMSA will need to be signed, and this will consume flex credits. And once again, if you want to understand more about your consumption of flex credits, once the UMSA is signed, you'll be able to access that in the platform consumption console. And then how many credits that the agents will consume will be in the rate card within that platform consumption console. So let's take a look at that report authoring agent. The report authoring agent will allow users to, be able to create reports using a semantic layer. So, for example, I can copy and paste, in this case, what type of report I would like to build, providing the data that maybe the data source, and the report authoring agent will assist me in building this report. From here, it's understanding my requirements, looking through my security to be able to provide me the correct data source as well as fields that will help me build this report. We can see it's providing me the opportunity to confirm that it's understanding my prompt correctly and then even assist me in filling in the filters. But I do have the opportunity to edit as necessary within the agent, itself. From here, I have the opportunity to confirm all is correct and go ahead and create the report. It brings me to the create custom report tasks where I can make any final edits and then create that report directly from my natural language query. This will provide rapid time to value in creating and distributing reports. So now you can create these reports and allow users to pull them easily onto that new dashboarding experience I showed earlier. So bringing us home. The four capabilities that I showed today are the analytics and reporting hub, which is available now, that your report authors and analysts can go as a central hub integrating all reporting task configuration, usage, security, and more. Next, we talked about the report analyst agent, which is coming out in the September time frame. The report analyst agent does require flex credit usage and the UMSA signed, but it allows you to interact with the agent to find out info more information about reports and analytics and to get the answers you need and take action to tie to business outcomes. Next, we took a look at the new dashboarding experience that I think everybody's excited about. Understanding how you can build intuitive, easy to understand, and shareable dashboards, for others. Lastly, taking a look at the report authoring agent. Again, this is a Kristin capability, would require the UMSA, and flex credits would be applied here. But what this allows you to do is use that natural language conversation to create reports and then be able to edit any any anything that you might want to with in that anything. May be able to edit the information to make sure that the output is according to your specifications, giving you that rapid time to value in report creation. So these are the four capabilities we highlighted today, and I'm gonna pass it over to Lucy who is gonna bring us home in this, webinar today. Thank you so much for that incredible demo, Leigh Ann and Kristin, for running us through. I'd love to see all the excitement. It's been really great, and thank you for all your questions coming through. So just wanted to flag here some of the next sessions coming up. So there is a payroll agent session, webinar coming up on August 4. So thank you all so much for joining, today. We We are gonna have q and a. But before we do get into q and a, we have linked plenty of resources for you in the docs section. So, especially at the start of the webinar when we went through some of those reports and dashboards, they're all linked there. There's items including road map and setup instructions for the hub, so please, check those out as well. So I think with that, Chris and Leigh Ann, if you want to come back on stage, we can get into some questions. Perfect. Okay. So the first question is, do all of these tools, report analyst agent, report author agent, and the new dashboards support Prism data sources? Yes. Absolutely. They they support Prism data sources. And, in the future, as I mentioned, they will also support data that you're bringing in through data cloud, inbound data cloud. Perfect. Great. Thanks, Kristin. So the next one was around, for the report analyst agent, I saw this come up. Beyond the twenty six r two release, how are you thinking it about it, kind of further from there? Is there anything you're focused on? Now we have a robust road map for report analyst agent. I also saw a number of questions about this. So I'll just, I'll try to summarize at a high level our road map going forward. So for twenty six r two, we plan to deliver this in a report context starting with advanced reports and very quickly, after that, expand to our other report types like matrix with drill down and composite. Then the next step is we'd like to take this to a multi report context, if you will. So that new dashboard experience that you saw, we wanna integrate our analyst agent into dashboards so that it can look across data across your dashboard and answer questions, very complex questions, that instead of being specific specific to one report, could be in any of the reports in your dashboard. So that's our kind of, most pressing, road map items that we have, things that we plan to do after that as well. Perfect. That's great. Now looking at the quest next question here, will the analytics dashboards, be available across the products? So also including financials as well. Yes. A 100%. So just as, our current dashboards are available across all data sources, so will our new dashboard experience. So it's for all customers, all data. Perfect. Great. And then just yeah. There was a number of questions around this, but the, what is required for to use both the report analyst agent and the report authoring agent? So I'll answer somewhat distinctly because, okay. So on report analyst agent that's coming first, that does require the USMA, and we will be using flex credits. For the authoring agent, so we are still determining pricing for our skills for authoring. So look for more information on that in the next several months as we announce more. Perfect. Now there was also a couple of questions. What is the difference between the new dashboard experience and discovery boards? This is a great question. So, I'm sure most of you have keen eyes. If you've used discovery boards, you may notice there's some similarities, and that is absolutely because we're taking advantage of all that we have currently across our products. And so there are things that are in discovery boards that we are taking the opportunity to utilize in our new dashboard experience from a technical and architecture perspective. In terms of how customers use these things, discovery boards today, there's two primary use cases. The one that we really talk about that we certainly encourage you to continue to use discovery boards for ad hoc analysis. But I know many of you use discovery boards for dashboard use cases as well. My expectation or assumption is that many of you are going to start if you're using discovery boards for dashboard use cases, you'll probably start moving those over into the new dashboard experience because it also has coverage of all of our data sources, not just indexed data sources. For ad hoc analysis, we are still in active, conversations about how much ad hoc analysis we want to directly put into our new dashboard experience and whether it's more of a, interoperability between dashboards and discovery boards. So please use discovery boards for ad hoc analysis and continue to give us our, your feedback as you're using new dashboards on things where you see the opportunity where we can blend these experiences. Perfect. Thank you. And I think another one here for you, Kristin. Will the reporting agent work with custom reports, or will it be more for standard reports? It's both. Yep. You can use it for both, both delivered and custom. Perfect. I'm just gonna check the latest questions coming in. Will the new dashboarding experience be an additional cost? No. It is included in your subscription. Great. Sorry. There's been a lot of questions going through. Yep. Lots around me. Yeah. Let me save flex credits. So I sorry. Yeah. So there's a question here around, do you you purchase the do we need to purchase the flex credit? So, yes, this will be something you will need to purchase flex credits to use the agents, and, I would recommend to follow-up with your Workday account team who can help you, with those questions. So I think there's one more here. I answer that as well. Yes. And. your account executive will have access to what we call, like, there's a calculator when these agents are released, and we can plug in the type of industry you are, and your potential usage to calculate out the the potential usage of credits for that particular Perfect. Thanks, Leigh Ann. agent. So another question just come in. Will we have to opt for the new dashboarding experience, or will it be automatically available? It it'll be automatically available. Of course, you'll have to do your configuration that you saw in the demo, but it's automatically available. K. Great. So. And to note that it's not gonna automatically convert your your existing dashboards to the new experience. You will have to create new dashboard visualizations. It won't just port existing dashboards over. k. Yep. Perfect. And just to add on to that, in the next probably within the next two months, we do plan some level of support to help you migrate your current dash boards into the new dashboard experience. It is unlikely to be an automatic conversion because in some cases, we are offering distinct capabilities in our new dashboard experience. But just wanna note that we will offer some support. But, certainly, if you're ready to move everything over, you can start that manually while we're working on, that migration support for you. Thanks, Kristin. I think we're gonna do one more question and then actually finish up a bit early and give you all some time back. So there is a question here. Will there be anything hands on at rising to try out these active these new tools available? I believe so. It's not confirmed yet, but there's talk of, definitely having opportunities to use analyst agent. And by that time, and, in terms of timing for dashboards, we mentioned 26 r two. There was a question that came in about, kind of, what does 26 r two plus mean? In the case of dashboards, it means that it is gonna drop to preview North America rising. So even if we did not have an opportunity directly at rising, you'll have it in your preview tenants to play with. Perfect. So I think we're gonna finish up here today. We're ahead of schedule, but, thank you for all your questions. If there were any that we didn't get to, we'll, be following up. But just wanna say thank you, to the amazing presenters, Kristin and Leigh Ann, for for joining today. And, yeah, we're we're really excited, and glad to see you all excited too. So thank you, everyone. Thank you.
