How can a passive event be created and scheduled?

Creating a passive event in Workday involves a specific process that includes using a Passive Event Rule. This rule is fundamental because it defines the conditions and criteria necessary for the passive event to occur automatically without requiring direct user action. Once the Passive Event Rule is created, it can then be scheduled to run at a specified future date or according to a defined timeline. This process allows for efficiency in managing events that may not require ongoing manual intervention, ensuring that they occur seamlessly in the background.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately capture the method for creating and scheduling passive events. Conducting employee surveys, for example, is a form of data gathering that does not pertain to the automation and scheduling of events within Workday. Manually entering each event would not align with the concept of a passive event, which is meant to minimize manual intervention. Lastly, the employee self-service portal does not inherently facilitate the creation of passive events; instead, these events are typically set up and managed by administrators within the system.
