6.   Select the Country or Country Region where you want to add/update the Marital Statuses. Add the appropriate Marital Status for the selected country, along with the code and description. Set the “Married” status to Yes or No based on the details provided, and then choose whether to make it Active or Inactive. Once all details are entered, set the Processing Status to Pending.

Note: The countries available in sheet solely depends on your access and proxy details you have used while generating sheet.

7.     Close the workbook and navigate back to ConfigBot. Under the Actions tab for the same iteration number, click the hamburger menu, and select the "Start Configuration" option from the drop-down menu.

8.     The Start Configuration pop-up window will appear. Enter your Workday password and provide any relevant execution notes. Then, select the checkbox for Marital Statuses. Finally, click the "Confirm and Start" button.

9.     You can later click the information icon to monitor the progress of your iteration.

10.   Once the status shows "Complete," return to the workbook to verify that the marital statuses have been successfully added or updated.

11.   To confirm the changes made, navigate to the Maintain Marital Statuses window by searching for it in the search bar on the Workday Home page. Once there, select the country where you added or updated marital statuses and click OK at the button to view all marital statuses linked to that country. Alternatively, you can search for All Marital Statuses in the search bar. This will display all marital statuses in the system, and you can apply filters to find the specific data you added or updated.

12.   Once you select the country or apply the filter, you can view the details of all marital status records linked to that country. Click on a specific marital status to see its detailed information, including the code, description, and other related details.
