Steps: Enable Importing of External Skills
Enable Skills Cloud.
Workday enables you to import skills from external vendors using web services. Configure these steps before setting up these web services for importing skill vendors, external skills, and external skill mapping:
- Get Skill Vendor
- Put Skill Vendor
- Import External Skill
- Get External Skill Mapping
- Put External Skill Mapping
External skill mappings establish a relationship between an external skill and a skill that exists within Workday.
