Workday Custom Reports Governance Framework
This framework outlines the protocol for requesting, evaluating, and developing custom reports in Workday at DePauw to ensure data integrity, prevent report proliferation, and efficiently allocate technical and support resources.
Before creating a custom report, a request will be evaluated to:
- Ensure the report solves a specific business problem.
- Define a clear action that will result from the data.
- Confirm that the data is not available through an existing standard report, dashboard, or modifiable custom report.
For reports not meeting this criteria, Workday team members will consult with requestors to help them with alternate ways to meet their information/data needs.
Approved custom reports are then assigned for development based on the complexity and type of data:
- Simple Reports:The relevant Workday functional area report writer
- Complex Reports: Information Services or Institutional Research, in collaboration with the functional area report writer
Workday functional areas include:
- Academic Affairs/Registrar
- Student Affairs/Athletics
- Admission and Enrollment Management
- Business Office
- Finance
