Setting Up AccountLinx for Workday

With AccountLinx, you can export your employees' time data from ExakTime Connect directly into Workday. As Workday may be customized to fit your company's needs, the default AccountLinx export for Workday may not match your Workday setup exactly and may require you to set up additional settings/fields. Please read through this article before setting up AccountLinx to understand what is needed.

If you have any questions or concerns during setup and/or use, you can contact us with the "Request Support" link at the top of the page and we will try to assist as best as possible. Keep in mind, however, that we are not Workday support. We will try to help you as much as we can, but there are aspects of Workday that are out of our area of expertise and your questions may be better answered by Workday support or your trusted contact to answer/assist.

Selecting Workday as your Exporter

  1. Go to Tools and click Exporter Settings...
  2. The Exporter Settings window should open. Click Select Exporter...
  3. A window with a list of available exporters should open. Select "Workday" and click OK. You may receive an error that AccountLinx is unable to connect to Workday. This is expected if this is the first time you are connecting to Workday.

Data Mapping

Mapping allows you to data map your ExakTime entities and complete additional fields so your AccountLinx time data export matches the corresponding Workday entities. Your data mappings will be saved once done allowing you to focus on data mapping any new entities added to ExakTime since the last export. Refer to the following article if you are unfamiliar with mapping your data in AccountLinx.

Exporting Time

After mapping your entities, you can export your time data into a compatible file to import into Workday. Refer to the following article if you are unfamiliar with exporting time data from AccountLinx.

It is recommended to consult with Workday for further assistance with importing and using the time data as they are more knowledgeable of utilizing their system.
