Workday → Qlik
AI-first ETL from Workday into Qlik. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Workday into Qlik
Datrise syncs Workday's HR, finance entities, organizational structures, and operational events into Qlik as tables loaded into Qlik's associative engine (often via QVD). Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns for the data model, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as date/time fields.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental QVD loads merged on stable id, so re-runs update only what changed. QVD files per entity and load date. Qlik's associative model joins on identically named fields, so Datrise standardizes key names so associations link correctly.
Ideal for associative, in-memory exploration in Qlik Sense.

FAQ
How does Datrise handle Workday's custom fields in Qlik?
Flexible values are stored as flattened columns for the data model, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Qlik types.
How does the Workday to Qlik sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses incremental QVD loads merged on stable id.
