Workday → Tableau
AI-first ETL from Workday into Tableau. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Workday into Tableau
Datrise syncs Workday's HR, finance entities, organizational structures, and operational events into Tableau as warehouse tables or a refreshed .hyper extract. Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns for Tableau fields, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as date/datetime fields.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental refresh of the tables behind a live connection or extract, so re-runs update only what changed. Date-partitioned facts to keep extract refresh quick. Tableau .hyper extracts snapshot data, so Datrise keeps the source tables incremental and lets you choose live vs extract.
Ideal for visual analytics and dashboards in Tableau.

FAQ
How does Datrise handle Workday's custom fields in Tableau?
Flexible values are stored as flattened columns for Tableau fields, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Tableau types.
How does the Workday to Tableau sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses incremental refresh of the tables behind a live connection or extract.
