If you prefer, install .NET 4.7 beforehand

Check the technical requirements for .NET 4.7.

Microsoft Visual Studio® 2010 Tools for Office Runtime

Required: Install Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime beforehand

Workday Event Log Components

If you prefer, install the Workday Event Log Components Setup beforehand.

This item appears in the Windows Add/Remove Programs as a separate entry and allows OfficeConnect and Excel Interface for Planning to log errors and other data to the Windows Event Log.

Update Requirements

Promptly install updates for Excel Interface for Planning and OfficeConnect.

Per-User Updates

When Workday releases a new update, each user will be prompted to install the update when logging in to Excel Interface for Planning or OfficeConnect. Each user can do this without administrative permissions, or, if preferred, IT can silently install updates for multiple users.

Promptly install the update before the deadline noted in the prompts. In general, users have 30 days from the release of an update before it becomes mandatory; however, high priority updates may have shorter deadlines.

Per-Machine Updates

When Workday releases a new update, members of the local Administrators group will be prompted to install the update by a certain date. In general, you have 60 days to install the update from the time of the release.

For the first 45 days, only users with administrative permissions will be notified. After 45 days, users will also start seeing daily notifications of an available update. OfficeConnect and Excel Interface for Planning require the update to be installed by the date listed in the notification.

Although the typical grace period for an update is 60 days from release, the deadline may be shorter for high priority updates.

Check RAM

To check the memory (RAM) installed on the computer:

Click the Windows Start button.
In the search box, type msinfo32, and then click OK.
In the right pane of the System Information dialog box, the number listed for Installed Physical Memory is the RAM installed in your computer.
Make sure it is at least 4 GB. For optimum performance, Workday recommends 8 GB.
