Field Overrides are an alternate way to pull custom attribute information from Workday that replaces the existing custom report facility.
Configuration
To use Field Overrides, Workday administrators must create a new Field Override Integration System within Workday, add the desired custom attributes to it, and configure Okta to use this Integration System when fetching worker data.
To create a Field Override Integration
-
Log in to your Workday account as an administrator, search for Integration System in the search bar, and then click Create Integration System.
- Enter the following:
-
System Name: Enter a name for your System Integration.
-
Comment: Optionally add a comment.
-
Template: Select worker from the New using template drop-down menu.
-
- Press Enter.
- From the list of results, select Core Connector: Worker, then click OK:
- You're redirected to a page for your freshly created Integration System.
- Scroll down to the Custom Integration Services section and click the + (plus) sign.
- Click Create.
- Select Create Integration Field Override Service from the list of services.
- Enter a Name for the Field Override Service, and select Worker as the Business Object.
- Add more fields to your Field Override Service by clicking the + (plus) sign. Property types are based on the property name, so if you want to have properties of different types, refer to Field Override Property Types for more information about the property types and naming conventions. Click OK.
- Now you need to configure the field mappings after creating Integration Service. Go to Actions > Integration System > Configure Integration Field Overrides.
- Select your Integration Service from the list on the left and configure the mappings for your fields. Type and search for a desired field. Make sure that property types are matching.
- After you have mapped all the properties, click OK>Done.
- Search for your Integration System in Workday, then go to Actions > Integration IDs > View IDs.
- Copy and save the value of Integration_System_ID. You need this value to set up and update your provisioning settings.
