i was digging through some stuff lately about advanced reports in [workday], and thought it'd be cool to share what i found. for those of you who are still navigating your way around the report writer, heres a quick rundown.
basically, when we talk 'advanced', think beyond just built-in dashboards . instead, focus on using calculated fields in workdays' own tool and then really step it up by diving into prism analytics for deeper insights.
calculated fields are pretty cool - they let you do some fancy math right within your reports to pull together data from different sources automatically ⬆️. once thats mastered (or so i heard), move on the next level: [workday] prismaanalytics.
prism is like a supercharged version of what ya got. it lets u crunch numbers, compare against external datasets and even build predictive models - all without leaving workdays ecosystem !
ive been playing around with some basic queries & found that integrating data from outside sources can really give you an edge in understanding trends over time .
anyone else tried out prism? whats your go-to trick for getting the most juice out of these tools?
is there anything im missing or should be aware off when working on advanced reports?
