Where are the Id's getting generated in Workday


Ever wonder how the id's are getting generated when you create a new hire or a new position or a new job requisition or a new supervisory organization etc., Its from Edit Tenant Setup - HCM, with the help of ID Definition / Sequence Generator.

Use below tasks to access this.

Tasks: 
Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
  • Edit ID Definition / Sequence Generator
  • View ID Definition / Sequence Generator
  • Create ID Definition / Sequence Generator


 
You can view the ID Definition / Sequence Generator for Applicant ID as a sample.


If you had ever worked on creating Sequence Generator in Integrations, you will make out easily that these are based out of Sequence Generators behind the scenes.
