Workday
SaaS Management integrates directly with Workday, so you can view all user activity within the application. The integration gives you the usage data you need to make informed decisions on inactive licenses and any renewal or purchasing options. For example, you can view when users last logged in to Workday to determine if their licenses are still needed.
Important
This documentation describes the steps to integrate and pull usage data from Workday. If you want SaaS Management to pull spend data, you must integrate Workday Financials.
Integrating with Workday
You must have admin access in Workday to authenticate the application with SaaS Management.
Note
Before you integrate the applications, make sure you have signed out of your individual account within your organization and are signed in to the appropriate service account with the required permissions.
