Concept: Employee Sync Information

Background

Each employee in Peakon have a dedicated employee record page that displays their basic information and demographic data. Use this data to target questions or surveys and to compare results by different demographic attributes.
Use the Sync Information tab on employee records to review the event logs and troubleshoot issues when updating employees using an integration (Example: Workday or BambooHR).
The Sync Information tab returns data only when the employee has a valid External ID (Example: Workday ID) in their Peakon employee record.
You must restrict the HRIS accounts you use to sync data from your external HRIS system into Peakon so you can access only the data being synced. Otherwise, an Admin troubleshooting a sync issue may be exposed to data they're not required to view.
