Workday Platform FAQs
Is the project still on track according to the original timeline?
What training options are available to me?* (updated)
Training session materials (recordings and job aids) are available directly in Workday. In the Search bar enter "LRN: workday" to get to the three sessions - click each one to start the course and view the recordings and the job aids.
Workday Wednesdays are virtual, drop-in information sessions related to all things Workday. Even if you don’t have a specific question, these sessions provide helpful knowledge that you may need in the future, or you may be able to lend your expertise to the conversation and answer questions that the meeting host is unable to answer. These sessions take place every Wednesday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. via Zoom. These are recorded and the links are listed in the document (Miami login required).
Also, please continue to check the Workday Training page for additional information as it becomes available.
How do I learn more about Workday?
What does Platform mean?
The Workday Platform is the collection of Financials/HR/Payroll components within the Workday tenant.
Workday Student is a separate module designed to serve 黑料社区s, faculty, university leaders,
and parents. It includes modules for Admissions, Financial Aid, Advising, Student
Finance, and Student Records.

What is a tenant?
This is the term for a single Workday environment consisting of all modules in use. Tenant types typically include Implementation, Preview, Test, and Production. This concept is very similar to how we currently use DEVL, TEST, and PROD instances for Banner.
