Termsort descending Category Definition
Indirect cost

Costs incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective, and not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved.

Information Technology (IT)

All electronic technology systems, products and services. Equipment, software, services, and products used in processing information, office automation, and telecommunications (voice, data and/or video).

Initial costs

The same as first cost" or the cost to provide the service or product in today's dollars for a project. Different from life cycle costs

Initiation Step Cross Application

An initiation step is the first step of a business process.

Instance Cross Application

An instance refers to one unique occurrence of a business object, for example, your Executive Management organization, or John Doe, the worker.

Integration (INT) Integration

The process of bringing together various systems, automating the flow of information and eliminating the need for repetitive or manual data entry. INT is the shorthand for the term and is usually displayed as INT attached to a number, for example INT039.

 

 

 

Integration Attribute Integration

An integration component that specifies the tenanted value of a data element in Workday. For example, Master Policy Number is a type of attribute in benefit provider integrations.

Integration Cloud Connect Integration

A catalog of packaged integrations, partner integrations, and connectors to common applications and service providers that extend Workday's functionality. The integrations span the entire range of Workday applications, including Benefits, Human Capital Management, Payroll, Financial Management, and Spend Management. All Cloud Connect integrations are hosted and maintained by Workday.

Integration Connector Integration

A set of one or more integration templates that provides a framework for building integrations in a particular functional area. For example, Workday Payroll Interface is an integration connector. Unlike packaged integrations, an integration connector does not have a named endpoint.

Integration Data Source Integration

Indicates the type of data that Workday will receive from or export to an external system and its location. Workday supports five types of data sources including attachments, external files, standard reports, custom reports, and REST endpoints.

Integration Event Integration

The record of an integration process. Every integration—current or past, involving the import or export of data, successful or not—gets recorded as an integration event. The integration event contains all the information about the integration process, including its status.

Integration Map Integration

An integration component that specifies how values in Workday map to values in an external system. For example, Pay Rate Frequency is a type of map in third-party payroll integrations.

Integration Service Integration

A group of related integration attributes, maps, and XSLT that provides a framework to transform Workday data into the format required by an external system.

Integration System Integration

A tenanted definition of an integration between Workday and an external system, based on a template that provides the methodology needed to communicate data.

Integration Template Integration

A collection of integration services that enables communication between Workday and an external system. Workday provides integration templates in categories such as Benefits, Financials, HCM, Payroll, Payroll Interface, Procurement, Recruiting, Security, and Settlement. Many of the delivered templates contain default values for attributes, as well as prompt values for attributes and maps, to further define the integration.

Integration Transformation Integration

Converts data into a format that Workday or a receiving external system can understand. Workday provides some delivered transformations, and you can also create custom transformations.

Integration Transport Protocol Integration

Controls how Workday exports data to an external system or imports the data from an external system. Workday supports several types of transport protocols, including email, FTP and SFTP, HTTP/SSL, WebDAV, Workday attachments, and Workday Web Services.

Integrations Map

An integration component that specifies how values in Workday map to values in an external system. For example, Pay Rate Frequency is a type of map in third-party payroll integrations.

Integrations Mapping/Crosswalks

Each integration requires an integration design and field mapping documentation. The integration team is offering agencies a crosswalk integration option to aid with remediation work of some legacy systems during the implementation timeframe or excessive temporary remediations to bridge gaps between phase 1a and phase 1b functionality. The integration team is providing the crosswalk for legacy AFRS COA to/from Workday FDM. These field mappings will be used by OFM to create updated Data Sharing Agreements (DSA).

Inter-local agreement

See: Interagency Agreements

Interagency agreements

An agreement between government agencies, entities or departments that defines cooperative work or services to be performed between them. The agreement defines the parties involved, the work performed and the transfer of resources, technologies and funds.

Internal service fund

A fund type used to report activities that provide goods or services to other funds, departments, or agencies of the state on a cost reimbursement basis. Internal service funds are used where the state is the predominate participant in the activity.

Intersection Security Group Cross Application

An intersection security group is one whose members are other security groups. Workers associated with all included security groups are granted access through an intersection security group.

ITI

Inbound Transaction Interface (AFRS legacy name)

Job-Based Security Group Cross Application

A job-based security group includes one or more job-related attributes or objects including job profile, job family, job category, management level, or exempt/non-exempt status.

Landing Page Cross Application

Landing pages display a collection of different worklets to enable you to quickly view data and perform tasks. There are different landing pages and display formats (grid or wheel) to support different functions. Some common landing pages are My Workday, My Workday 2.0, All About Me, and My Team. There are other specialized landing pages, such as dashboard landing pages.

Lease

Leases are contracts entered into by the state which provide for the use and purchase of real or personal property and provide for payment by the state through the operating budget. All financing contracts must be approved by the state Finance Committee. A lease must have the approval of OFM if it is for space under development or has an obligation of over $1 million annually, regardless of the length of the lease obligation.

Lease purchase and lease development

Lease purchase and lease development agreements are forms of financing contracts that enable a building to be built or substantially remodeled to state specifications by a private developer. In both cases, the developer finances the project and recovers the cost through least payments. By the end of the lease period, the state may exercise the option to purchase at a predetermined price. There is no tax exemption for the developer, and market interest rates prevail. Any funds required to pay the cost of leasedevelopment proposals should be requested through the operating budget. For reference, see RCW 39.94, Financing Contracts.

Ledger account

Asset, liability, equity, revenue and expense accounts. Balance sheet accounts are entered directly on transactions and revenue and expense accounts default from the Spend/Revenue Categories of the Pay Component.

Legacy Data Extracts

The support provided by the Data Conversion Team in cleansing, extracting, and transforming data from legacy systems for submission and consolidation into Workday.
