What is the first step in creating an EIB?

The first step in creating an EIB, or Enterprise Interface Builder, is to create the EIB Upload Process. This foundational action establishes the framework for how the data will be structured, informed by the specific needs of the integration.

By initiating the EIB Upload Process, you set up the parameters, including the source of the data, the target system within Workday, and any specific transformation rules that might apply to the data during the upload. This is essential as it provides a defined pathway for the data to follow, ensuring that the eventual integration is both effective and efficient.

Without this step, the subsequent actions, such as generating a spreadsheet template, populating that template with data, and launching the upload, would lack the necessary context and structure to be successful. The EIB Upload Process acts as the foundation upon which all further action is built, making it the crucial starting point in the EIB creation process.
