# Use case: Element selectors for Workday

When configuring the **Adoption settings** for **Workday** Adopt guides**,** use the **Element selectors** on this page to:

* Maximize the stability and reliability of element selection by avoiding dynamic identifiers.
* Enhance guide resistance to webpage changes from Workday.

### Element selectors for Workday

From the **Adoption settings** tab > [Settings subtab](/platform/user-guide/adopt/guide-creation-and-management-from-nexthink-applications/configuring-adoption-settings.md#configuring-adoption-settings-for-the-selected-application) in Nexthink, for the Workday web application configured in Nexthink:

* **Ignored element IDs**: `wd-`
* **Ignored element class names**: `.*`
* **Included element custom attribute names**: `data-automation-id, data-uxi-element-id, data-uxi-widget-type`
  * Depending on your case, you may also include custom attributes `aria-label` and `role`.
* **Dropdown list selector**: Leave this field empty to ensure proper feature functionality.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Use Nexthink default configurations for the remaining **Adoption settings**, including **Guide defaults**.

Your configuration should look like the image below.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/user-guide/adopt/guide-creation-and-management-from-nexthink-applications/configuring-adoption-settings/use-case-element-selectors-for-workday.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
