Connector
Workday
Last updated:
Visier can retrieve data through this connector if the following requirements are met.
For more information about the data that is retrieved through this connector, see Connector Definitions.
Prerequisites
Create an integration user in Workday.
Integration user
Create an integration user in your source system and assign it the appropriate security access so that Visier can retrieve your source data through this user.
Access | Description |
|---|---|
Domain Security Policy permission | You can assign this permission within a security group. You can then assign the security group to the integration user. |
Read access to service endpoints | Visier requires read access to the following service endpoints: Financial_Management Service get_Currency_Conversion_Rates Integration Service get_References (Required) get_Event_Detail (Required) Compensation Service get_Compensation_Grades Human_Resources Service get_Locations get_Job_Family_Groups get_Job_Profiles get_Workers (Required) get_Organizations (Required) get_Worker_Event_History (Required) get_Employee_Reviews get_Positions Recruiting get_Candidates get_Job_Requisitions *get_Job_Application_Additional_Data *get_Assess_Candidate *get_Recruiting_Assessment_Category_Security_Segments *get_Recruiting_Assessment_Categories *get_Recruiting_Agencies *get_Interviews *get_Interview_Feedbacks *get_Job_Posting Talent *get_Skills *get_Talent_Pools *get_Talent_Surveys Workday_Connect *get_Campaign_Categories Access to required endpoints is critical. Without access, the data connector won’t work. Endpoints marked with * are not automatically mapped to Visier’s data model. If loaded, you must manually map your data to Visier’s data model. |
Connector credentials
You need to provide the following credentials to Visier so that we can retrieve data from your source system.
Credential | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Domain name | The URL of your Workday instance. | https://services1.myworkday.com https://wd2-impl-services1.workday.com |
Username | The integration user’s username. | IntegrationUser |
Password | The integration user’s password. | Password1234 |
Implementation name | The tenant ID. | vcorp |
Integration system ID (Optional) | To connect your custom attributes, provide an integration system ID. This is the result of creating a custom field override integration for Worker data in Workday. Note: Visier can only accommodate a single integration system ID, so you need to add every custom or calculated field that you want to bring into Visier to the same Workday system integration. | b0685b69d8ac412582c0a44d7973f707 |
How the connector loads data
Initially, data connectors retrieve a full history for each subject to generate an initial history of events. In each subsequent data retrieval, each connector handles the data load differently.
Full load: All data from the source system is loaded into Visier.
Delta load: Only changed data is loaded into Visier. A delta load may take either the entire history or a specific number of years of history for each changed record.
Snapshot load: All data at a particular point in time. A snapshot load does not contain historical records or show changes over time.
Partial load: A subset of data is loaded into Visier.
After the initial load, this connector only retrieves data for changed records. For changed records, this connector retrieves the record's full history. You can configure how many years of history is retrieved.
