Example: Create an Intersection

Example: Create an Intersection

This example shows 1 way to create an intersection. When configuring the VIBE Index™ topic in People Analytics, you map the intersection field to the target field Intersection 1.
You want to create an intersection similar to the Workday-owned, default intersection.
The intersection field you create includes the dimensions Gender and Ethnicity.
You create conditions for the intersection that exclude populations outside of the USA. The USA is the location of the workers you want to include in the VIBE Index.
You check your tenant for existing fields and determine that you need to create all new fields.
