Questions about this workflow
Which employee and date does this action use?
The action defaults to the current user and today. Include a specific employee and date rule in your instruction if you need different data.
Can it compare activity with a past baseline?
Only if that baseline is supplied or separately available. The action description supports project and app data for a given employee and date.
