Building Better Reporting in Workday: Lessons From the Trenches with Christian Delcid
Writing reports in Workday can be frustrating, time-consuming, and counterintuitive, especially for people coming from SQL, Power BI, or other reporting tools. In this episode, Keith and Christian break down why Workday reporting feels different, what new report writers should focus on, and how to accelerate learning by leveraging standard reports, governance frameworks, and smart defaults. Along the way, they share stories from projects where reporting went right and where it went very wrong.
The conversation also explores Discovery Boards, Matrix reports, and the shift toward visual analytics that users actually engage with. From tenant hygiene to integration ownership to drillable dashboards, this episode offers practical, real-world guidance for anyone who owns reporting in their organization. Whether you're supporting HR, finance, or operations, you'll find lessons and ideas you can apply immediately.
