Workday
Integrations with WorkDay
Enterprise HRIS Integration
- Typically, HRIS Integrations with EdCast comprise of these three aspects:
- Employee Profile Modelling
- Setting up a Typical User Profile on LXP
- Employee Data Synchronization
- Groups, Users, Managers, Custom Attributes, etc
- SSO Integration
- SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect
- Employee Profile Modelling
Employee Profile Modeling - Mandatory Attributes
- The LXP can work with the most minimal amount of employee
information - only the following attributes are mandatory
Email
First Name
* Last Name - A consistent user account can be created using these mandatory attributes
Employee Profile Modeling - Custom Attributes
- LXP User Account can be enriched to pass some additional information
from the customer’s HR record such as:
Employee ID
Business Unit
* Functional Manager - Custom attributes can be populated using any of our integration modes from the HR record of the Employee
