“How To” Guides
All of our Guides are available in the Help app within Workday. Here’s how to access them:
- Use the Global Search Box at the top of every Workday page or the Workday Assistant chat function.
- Simply search for the thing you want to know how to do, and “Articles” will guide you. Each article also provides contact information in case you’re still stuck.
- Example: search for “Purchasing Card” to view articles about reconciling your Carleton purchasing card.
- Use the Global Navigation Menu (3 bars at the top left the Workday screen when viewed in in a computer browser) and select the Help app.
- Browse through guides by topic
- Example: click into the “Workday Basics” category to view things like managing your email notifications.
The Help app is new! Over time we’ll be improving its content and search capabilities, so please use the Feedback options at the bottom of each article to help us understand what’s working well and what could be improved.

Ask a Question
We are happy to answer your questions and help you accomplish your goals!
If you didn’t find what you needed in the Help Articles and the Training:
- Ask your question by opening a Workday Case (here is our guide on opening a Case and our guide on seeing responses to your Case in Workday). Cases will be routed to the appropriate office to answer your question.
- Want to know which office is working on your case? Find your case in the Recent Cases section of Workday Help, click into it, and look at the Assigned To section of the Case Overview. If it says “No Assignee” then the office name in parentheses tells you which office is currently responsible for your case.
- Reach out directly to the appropriate office listed on our Help page.
