Dayforce to JSM Assets

Configure the connection to Dayforce by going to OnLink (Manage your apps) - Connections. Refer to this link for information Connections and System Triggers | Dayforce

Once connection is established, please review instructions here to get started with setting up an Assets import configuration. You can then access OnLink app from the “Manage your apps” menu to further configure and set the field level mapping.

Here’s an example mapping configuration when pulling in computer data. Any field available in this API can be used to map to the asset attribute.

key:EmployeeNumber=WorkerID
map:FirstName=Name
map:Email=JiraUser
map:DisplayName=Email
map:WorkAssignments.Items.0.Position.ShortName=Title
map:EmployeeManagers.Items.0.ManagerXRefCode=ManagerName
map:OriginalHireDate=HireDate

Here’s a breakdown of some of the mapping configuration items:

Key or Map

Description

Key or Map

Description

key:EmployeeNumber=WorkerID

The keyword “key” refers to using ID as a unique identifier. This allows OnLink to update the record.

map:Email=JiraUser

Maps email to Assets User object attribute

Any other field returned by the API can be used in the mapping.

OnLink processes data in two steps - Get Data and Import Data. To manually test, you can click on Get Data first and then wait until you see “No more pending records. Data will be imported on next Import run.” message in Job Logs. Then, click on Import. Production runs are fully automated based on the schedule you choose.
