Desktop/Browser Impacts • Workday's rich browser interface is enabled by the Adobe® Flex™ Internet application framework and requires any browser that works with Adobe Flash Player 10.1.53 or later to run correctly. • This includes Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6, 7, 8, or 9 or Mozilla Firefox version 2, 3.x, or 4.x. • For optimal results, use Workday on Internet Explorer 7 or later or Firefox 3.5 or later. • If your company runs Internet Explorer under the High security level, you need to make some Internet Explorer setting changes for each user running Workday, or users will receive errors and not be able to proceed beyond the home page.
Desktop/Browser Impacts System Memory Requirements • We suggest that you configure your users' client machines with memory capacity corresponding to their use of Workday. We recommend the following memory configurations: • For administrative users accessing high data volumes in reports or tasks, 2 gigabytes (GB) of memory. • For administrative users running staffing and other business processes frequently, 1 gigabyte (GB) of memory. • For casual users, such as employees maintaining their PTO or personal data, 512 megabytes (MB) of memory • Website: hr.cornell.edu/workday
New Reporting Culture • Supervisors & Admin Managers will have increased access to data (within their org structure) • Robust reports / analytics that are actionable • Real-time data • Shared reporting responsibility betweenCornell andWorkday (via regular functionality releases) • Local developer access via web service / extract • Seth Brahler (spb32, 255-9696)
