Employees datasource specification
This page describes the Workday EIB files for syncing Employees into TechWolf: the Employee baseline, the organisational structure, and every skill-relevant signal attached to an Employee. For each file it gives the S3 location, the fields TechWolf expects, and the Workday field each one comes from. The Employee Baseline file is required and establishes each Employee; every other file on this page references it throughemployee_id. Two files link out
to other entities: the Employee Baseline points to a Job through
assigned_position, and Learning History points to a Course through
course_id. The
Jobs and
Courses
specifications must be synced as well for those links to resolve.
The rules shared by every Workday file (full dumps, dependencies,
transformations and how to read the field tables) are described in the
EIB Specification.
The files from Learning History onwards carry no identifier from Workday.
TechWolf generates an external_id for each row as a hash of its content, so
the EIB does not need to export one.
