Walkthroughs

Walkthroughs are popup windows in the Workday UI that:

• Support additional media types such as links, images and video.

• Display instructional information that guides users on how to complete a task in Workday.

• Are similar to quicktips but display automatically (instead of by users clicking a question mark icon beside a field) in Workday.

Walkthroughs can include these UI elements:

• Title text

• Body text

• Link text

• Video and images

For additional guidelines on UI text, refer to the other sections in this Content style guide. If you can't find the information you need there, refer to the Workday Administrator Guide.

Title Text

• Use title case.

• Be clear and concise.

• Summarize why users need to consider the relevant field/UI element.

  • This can be framed as a question, but doesn't necessarily always need to be a question.
