Steps: Set Up Planning Data Source Credentials
To use
Adaptive Planning
as a data source within integration, you must create and select a credential. If the username entered in the credential can access a multi-instance environment, you also select the Adaptive Planning
instance you want to use. Passwords for Adaptive Planning
credentials do not get stored within integration. When you provide a valid Adaptive Planning
username and password during authorization an internal token authenticates the user for data source use.If your instance is Workday-enabled and you synchronized users from Workday to
Adaptive Planning
, you must select a Workday Credential for your Planning data source or create a Planning Credential by selecting Use Currently logged in user
