Update to external job applicant email notifications may temporarily impact employee notification settings

On Wednesday, November 20, Modernization will perform an update to resolve an issue preventing external job applicants from receiving notifications regarding positions they have applied to or are interested in.

Per Workday’s recommendation, to correct this issue, Modernization must set preferences for all Custom Business Process and Task notification email to “immediate” for all employees. This update will briefly and temporarily impact current employees who have adjusted their Preferences for Custom Business Process and Task notification emails. Following this change, Modernization will then override and revert current employees’ Preferences to previous settings.

Employees who have personalized their Custom Business Process and Task notification Preferences should not see a change to these settings following this update. However, it is recommended that they review their Preferences following the update, and, if they notice any changes, to adjust these settings as necessary.

Updated guidance on how to update Preferences for email notifications will be available beginning 11/20 in the Tools and Navigation reference guide.
