The Workday Fall Update, occurring on Saturday, September 10, includes Inbox Reimagined, a redesign of the inbox, now called My Tasks within Workday. My Tasks offers new, enhanced features as requested by Workday customers. UT Workday users, who participated in workgroup sessions last spring, provided feedback on enhanced search capabilities which were piloted in Workday over the summer.
