Grants Dashboard Access in Workday - Update

Thursday, November 12, 2020

The Workday Research Grants Dashboard and Grants Reports are now available.

How do I access the dashboard?

You will find the dashboard worklet under “Applications” on your Workday home page

Key Financial Reports

Key Financial Reports on the Dashboard are the following:

  • Portfolio of Grants (New!)
  • Grants Expired and Expiring in 90 days (New!)
  • Grant Ledger Summary (similar to legacy FMS nQuery Ledger Summary report)

How do I view my grant balances?

  • Grant Ledger Summary can be accessed through the Grants Dashboard.
  • Just a friendly reminder that legacy data conversion is in progress until mid-December and a combination of data from the FMS legacy system + Workday will be required in the interim
  • To summarize, General Ledger (GL) data is available in the following reports:
General Ledger Balances Data FMs nQuery Grant Ledger Summary Workday Portfolio of Grants | Grants Expired and Expiring in 90 Days
March 2019 to July 2020 Yes Yes Yes

August to October 2020 (updated Dec 11)

November 2020 No Yes Yes
  • All transactions in November (e.g., invoices and personal reimbursement) submitted and processed will be available in the Grants Dashboard in Workday.

Which security roles can access the dashboard and reports?
