Exam Workday-Pro-Integrations Topic 1 Question 12 Discussion

The scenario involves a Core Connector: Worker integration using DIS to export a full file of employee personal data, with the requirement to output only the home phone number when including phone data.
Workday's "Phone Number" field is multi-instance, meaning a worker can have multiple phone types (e.g., Home, Work, Mobile). Let's determine the configuration:
* Requirement:Filter the multi-instance "Phone Number" field to include only the "Home" phone number in the output file. This involves specifying which instance of the phone data to extract.
* Integration Field Attributes:In Core Connectors,Integration Field Attributesallow you to refine how multi-instance fields are handled in the output. For the "Phone Number" field, you can set an attribute like "PhoneType" to "Home" to ensure only home phone numbers are included. This is a field-level configuration that filters instances without requiring a calculated field or override.
* Option Analysis:
* A. Configure an integration map to map the phone type: Incorrect. Integration Maps transform field values (e.g., "United States" to "USA"), not filter multi-instance data like selecting a specific phone type.
* B. Include the phone type integration field attribute: Correct. This configures the "Phone Number" field to output only instances where the phone type is "Home," directly meeting the requirement.
* C. Configure the phone type integration attribute: Incorrect. "Integration attribute" refers to integration-level settings (e.g., file format), not field-specific configurations. The correct term is
"integration field attribute."
* D. Configure an integration field override to include phone type: Incorrect. Integration Field Overrides are used to replace a field's value with a calculated field or custom value, not to filter multi-instance data like phone type.
* Implementation:
* Edit the Core Connector: Worker integration.
* Navigate to theIntegration Field Attributessection for the "Phone Number" field.
* Set the "Phone Type" attribute to "Home" (or equivalent reference ID for Home phone).
* Test the output file to confirm only home phone numbers are included.
