You can now access Financial Workspace data directly through ONE using simple, conversational questions. This feature allows you to quickly retrieve employee cost information without navigating multiple filters or screens. In this article, you’ll learn how to use ONE to explore financial workforce data efficiently.
Available for all HR admins, Finance admins, and managers with access to Financial Workspace.
Overview
ONE now integrates with Financial Workspace, enabling users to query employee cost data directly from the chat. Instead of manually filtering by team, cost center, legal entity, or cost type, you can simply ask a question and receive instant answers in text or table format.
This functionality is available by default and requires no setup.
When and why it should be used
Use this feature when you need quick insights into employee cost data without spending time navigating the Financial Workspace.
It is especially useful when:
- You need fast answers to specific cost-related questions
- You are unsure where to find certain financial data
- You want to simplify reporting or exploratory analysis
- You prefer a conversational way to access data instead of applying multiple filters
How to use
- Open ONE
- Type your question related to employee costs
- For example:
- “What is the total employee cost for the Marketing team?”
- “Show me employee costs by cost center”
- For example:
- Press Enter to submit your query
- Review the response provided by ONE
- Results may appear as text summaries or data tables depending on your question
If you don’t see any data in the response, make sure you have permission to view Financial Workspace data. Contact your admin if you’re unsure about your access level
If the answer is too general or not what you expected, try adding more details to your question (e.g., team, dates, cost type) or rephrase your query using clearer terms
If you cannot access this feature, ensure you are an HR admin, Finance admin, or manager with the correct permissions. If the issue persists, contact your support team

- Use natural language — you don’t need to follow a strict format
