When configuring a compensation eligibility rule, the "Source External Field or Condition Rule" column is designed to accept either a Workday-delivered field or a pre-existing condition rule. To streamline the selection process and filter the search results to show only fields, you must use the prefix field:. This syntax explicitly instructs the system to exclude other condition rules from the search results, presenting only the relevant fields that match the subsequent search term. This is a standard Workday search operator used in various configuration tasks to specify the type of object you are looking for.

B. Enclosing an entry in brackets is not a recognized Workday syntax for filtering object types in this search context.

C. Using all capital letters for a search term does not filter the results by object type; it typically influences case-sensitivity.

D. An asterisk is a wildcard character used for partial text matching, not for filtering the search results by object type.

1. Workday Compensation Administrator Guide: In the section "Set Up Compensation Eligibility Rules

" the guide details the configuration of rule conditions. It specifies the use of search prefixes to narrow results in prompt fields. It states

"To search only for fields

type field: followed by your search term. To search only for other condition rules

type rule:." (Reference: Chapter on Compensation Eligibility

Section: "Creating Compensation Eligibility Rules").

2. Workday Pro - Compensation Core Training Manual: The module on "Configuring Compensation Components" includes a topic on "Advanced Eligibility Rules." This section explicitly demonstrates how to build complex rules and notes

"When building eligibility rules

use the field: prefix in the source column to isolate your search to only Workday-delivered fields

excluding other condition rules from the results." (Reference: Module 5

Topic: "Advanced Eligibility Rules

" Slide on "Rule Condition Syntax").
