    4. Select Done.

  11. When applicable, grant the required permissions to the Service Account associated with the source to aggregate the new custom or calculated fields.

Notes

  • Custom and calculated attributes added to the Workday OrganizationRole Group schema must have "__c" appended to the field names created in Workday. For example, if you added PREVIOUS_EMPLOYER to Workday, you would add PREVIOUS_EMPLOYER__c in the source schema.

  • Aggregation takes more time for a larger number of configured custom attributes and calculated fields. The value of the calculated fields and custom attributes are calculated on run time, and aggregation is delayed, as it requires extra time to fetch the calculated values.
