Accessing Workday through Teams
You can access many common tasks that you do in Workday directly from Microsoft Teams. This is done by launching the Workday application from the App bar in the teams client. The app bar is located on the left side of the client. We have created a profile and policy in Teams to assign this application to Faculty and Staff. The Workday App may appear as shown on the app bar.
Note: The policy does not enforce pinning of the Workday app, so if you do not see it or un-pin the app by accident you can easily add it back. You may pin and unpin applications as you like
