# 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](/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
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
