What does the Related Actions icon do within Workday HCM?

The Related Actions icon within Workday HCM is designed to enhance user efficiency by contextualizing actions that can be performed on specific objects. When you click on this icon, it presents a menu of options relevant to the particular item you are viewing, such as an employee’s profile, a position, or a job requisition. This capability allows users to easily access a range of associated actions and tasks without navigating away from the current screen, streamlining workflows and reducing the time spent searching for relevant functions.

This feature is particularly useful for HR professionals, managers, and employees, as it aggregates various actions into a single, intuitive menu, facilitating quick decision-making and task management. Other options like quick links to HR policies, notifications, or help menus are not functionalities provided by the Related Actions icon, which focuses specifically on actions related to the item in context.
