“Notify Me Later” in Workday

When running large reports in Workday,  don’t wait around. You can use the “Notify Me Later” feature.

Instead of watching the screen when the report is generating—simply select “Notify Me Later”. Workday will continue working in the background and inform you when your report is ready.

An alert will appear in your Notifications page or in the bell icon, so you can stay focused and return to the report when it’s done

You can also access the reports via your Profile – My Reports

Benefits of Using “Notify Me Later”:

• Keep working while the report processes and avoid staring at the report progress.
• Get notified automatically – You’ll know the moment your report is ready—no need to keep checking.
• Helps optimize performance across Workday by freeing up real-time resources, especially during peak usage times.
• It’s a great way to handle longer-running reports during busy times.

Next time you run a report, click “Notify Me Later” and let Workday do the waiting—so you don’t have to.
