Once all fields are filled, set the Processing Status to "Pending.".

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 dropdown 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 Degrees. Finally, click the "Confirm and Start" button.

9.       You can later click the information icon to monitor the progress of your iteration. Screenshots will become visible once the changes have been successfully pushed to the instance.

10.   Once the status shows "Complete," return to the workbook to verify that the degrees have been successfully added or updated. The corresponding rows and their fields will be highlighted in green, indicating successful execution. Additionally, the Processing Status for each row will have changed to "Processed.

11.   To confirm the changes made, navigate to the ‘Degrees’ window by searching for it using the search bar on the Workday Home page. A window will appear showing all degrees. Click the filter option, select the Degree column, type the name of the degree you added or updated, and then click the Filter button to view it.

12.   Once you select the degree, you can view various details such as name, order, description and other details. You can also access more detailed information by clicking the three dots (ellipsis) above, depending on your account access.

This confirms a successful execution where a new Degree was added in the Recruiting module using ConfigBot, ensuring accurate data transfer and configuration within Workday.
