The Workday Scope activity uses your Workday credentials (Username and Password) to establish a connection to your Workday Web Service (Tenant and TenantURL).
How it works
The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.
- Complete the Setup steps.
- Add a Get Credential activity.
- For more information, see Credential Management in this guide.
- Add the Workday Scope activity to your project.
- Enter values for the Authentication and Connection input properties.
- Create and enter a
WorkdayConnection
variable for Output property.- You can use this variable in subsequent uses of the Workday Scope activity.


Configure
To build your project and enable the Object Wizard in other activities, you must use the Connection Wizard by clicking the Configure button.
To learn more about the Connection Wizard, see the Business Activity Frameworks page.
Important
Configuring the fields in the Connection Wizard does not populate the Workday Scope properties. The wizard establishes a connection to your Workday application during design time only; enabling the Object Wizards in the other Workday activities.
