Workday Platform Admin case studies
Workday Platform Admin · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Workday Platform Admin exam is an independent, vendor-neutral knowledge assessment for practitioners who administer a Workday tenant - the people who configure business processes, build security groups, maintain supervisory organizations, write calculated fields, run data loads, and shepherd the tenant through releases and audits. It is aimed at administrators with some hands-on exposure to a live or sandbox tenant, as well as consultants, HRIS analysts, and IT staff who support a Workday deployment and want a structured way to validate breadth across the platform rather than depth in a single module. The Workday Platform Admin case studies are 5 cases and about 4,381 words.
