As part of the Workday Adaptive Planning 2025 Release in March 2025, Workday will be making changes to the user interface. These changes will impact Sheets, Matrix Reports, Dashboards, and Scenario Management. The goal of these changes is to adopt a user interface that is consistent with other Workday products. There will also be changes to parameter sizing and visualization of various layouts. The aforementioned changes are designed to optimize screen space and enhance the product’s usability. The User Interface will be forcibly changed in ALL instances by Workday when the 2025 Release rolls out in March (The target date is 3/8/2025).
Make the Switch Now
Workday has provided users the opportunity to get ahead of these interface changes before they are enacted in March. The settings can be found within the administration section of Adaptive Planning, under the system portion, in visual preferences pictured below.
In Visual Preferences, you will see the user interface section where you can check off the latest updates seen below.
It is recommended and could be very beneficial for users to make these changes manually now so they can adjust and get used to them before Workday forces the changes. If the user wishes they can deselect these options and revert back to the old interface but again, the changes will be forcibly enacted come March so it may be best to make the switch and keep the changes.
