Can the Request Framework track who made a change, why it was made, and who approved it?

The Request Framework in Workday is designed to facilitate tracking and managing changes within the system, making it possible to see who initiated a request, the reasons behind the changes, and who approved them. This capability is essential for maintaining an audit trail, ensuring accountability, and adhering to compliance requirements within an organization.

When a change is made through the Request Framework, it logs the user who made the request, which allows for easy identification of the originator. Additionally, the framework often requires the requester to provide a rationale or justification for the changes, which adds clarity to the decision-making process. Furthermore, the approval process captures who granted the necessary permissions for the change, providing a complete picture of the workflow and decision chain.

This structured approach enables organizations to monitor changes effectively, enhance data security, and ensure that all modifications are documented comprehensively, which aligns with best practices in data governance and security.
