Awaiting Your Action
Up to three of your most recent My Tasks items appear, which you can also access from the My Tasks icon.
Timely Suggestions

Announcements
Select an announcement to see all details. If more than one is available, use the arrow icons to scroll to the next announcement.
Apps
Formerly known as worklets, apps (e.g., Pay and Benefits Hub, My Team) are accessible under "View All Apps" and the Global Navigation Menu.
Global Navigation Menu
With the Global Navigation Menu, you can access your apps and shortcuts from anywhere in Workday, not just your home page. Easily customize the apps you see and their order. Your first four apps will display in the "Your Top Apps" section. You can also create up to 10 shortcuts for tasks and reports within the Global Navigation Menu.
Search Functionality
Allows you to personalize search results. Use Saved Categories to choose the order in which Workday searches through categories and displays the results. In addition, when searching in Workday, you'll see different categories to filter searches. To search all categories at once, i.e., All of Workday, add them to your Saved Categories list.
