How do users receive alerts for critical data changes in Workday Prism?

Users receive alerts for critical data changes in Workday Prism by setting up notifications based on data thresholds. This approach allows users to define specific criteria or thresholds within the data that, when met or exceeded, trigger an automated alert. This ensures that users are promptly informed about significant changes, enabling them to take appropriate actions without the need for manual monitoring.

By employing data thresholds, organizations can tailor the alerts to their specific needs, focusing on the most relevant metrics that impact their operations. This proactive capability enhances decision-making processes and ensures that critical information is communicated efficiently.

In contrast, manually checking for updates does not provide the immediacy or specificity that threshold-based notifications offer, and relying on third-party alert systems can introduce complexities and dependencies that may not be as seamless as Workday's built-in notification features. Additionally, contacting IT support could delay the process and be less efficient than a self-service notification system that empowers users to set their alert preferences directly.
