Q: What are the different types of tenants in Workday, and how do they affect billing?
A: Workday has various types of tenants, such as demonstration, production, and sandbox tenants. Clients are charged based on the modules they enable and the number of users accessing those modules, meaning they only pay for the services they actively use.
Q: What is the purpose of a sandbox tenant in Workday, and how often does it get refreshed?

A: A sandbox tenant in Workday is a production-like tenant used for user acceptance testing (UAT). It undergoes a weekly refresh, also known as cloning activity, where all data from the production instance, including transactional, configuration, and migrated data, is copied to the sandbox. This refresh ensures that the sandbox closely mirrors the production environment. The refresh occurs every Friday at the end of the day CST hours, and it is an automated, default setup for all clients globally.
