Review & Verify Applied Elements
The Review tab in the Workday OfficeConnect Reporting pane shows you a complete picture of what’s driving data in your report. Use it to verify elements are applied correctly before sharing or distributing a report — especially after you’ve used Add Elements to assemble rows and columns.
What the Review tab shows
Select a cell, row, or column, then click the Review tab. The sections you see depend on your selection:
| Section | Shown when | What it displays |
|---|---|---|
| Net | Cell selected | All elements actively affecting that cell’s data — the combined result of all applied elements |
| Rows | Cell or row selected | All elements applied to that row |
| Columns | Cell or column selected | All elements applied to that column |
| Worksheet | Cell selected | Active worksheet filters |
| Workbook | Cell selected | Active workbook filters |
| User Defaults | Cell selected | Default elements from your User Settings |
Note: The Net section only appears for single-cell selections. It’s the most useful for diagnosing unexpected data — it shows what’s actually driving the number.
Basic steps
Review element sources
If the Net section shows an unexpected element, expand Rows and Columns to see where it was added. Expanding Worksheet and Workbook shows if a filter is contributing.
Switch time elements between relative and absolute
From the Review tab, you can also change how time elements behave:
Identify element groups
If a row or column is part of an expansion (element group), the Review tab shows an expansion [+] icon next to the element.
