The Workday business objects
Six objects carry most of Workday reporting. Each page documents what the object holds, the data sources that expose it, the traps, and the owned model that stores it honestly.
Workday reporting resolves to business objects, and six of them carry most of the weight. Each page documents what the object holds, the delivered data sources that expose it, the reporting traps, and how the owned model stores it.

Use case
Problem
The object pages carried the deepest Workday reference on the site and had no index; readers arrived only from module links.
What we build
The hub listing every documented business object with its hub-star page: contents, data sources, traps, and the owned model.
What you get
The object layer, enterable from the top: six pages that explain most of what any Workday report resolves to.
