Steps: Maintain and View Student Housing Assignments

Steps: Maintain and View Student Housing Assignments

Workday enables you to build an integration between your current Housing software and Workday. You can view and report on that housing assignment data within Workday.
To integrate from your external Housing software, you can use these web services:
  • Get Student Housing Assignments
  • Import Student Housing Assignments
You can view a student's housing on the:
  • Housing Assignment Profile Summary card
    .
  • Housing
     report on the
    Personal
     profile group of the student profile.
When students switch Academic Units, you must update their housing information, using the
Import Student Housing Assignments
 web service, in order to re-apply security.
  1. Edit Domain Security Policies.
    Configure these domains in the Student Core functional area:
