What does "Field Validation" ensure in Workday loading?

Field Validation in Workday loading is a crucial process that ensures the data being inputted meets specific, predefined criteria before it is accepted into the system. This validation process checks various aspects of the data, such as format, required fields, logical consistency, and adherence to business rules. By confirming that the data meets these standards, Field Validation minimizes the risk of errors and helps maintain data integrity within the system.

This process prevents problematic data from being loaded, which could lead to issues in reporting, data analysis, or workflow processes later on. It acts as a safeguard to ensure that only accurate and reliable data populates Workday, ultimately improving the overall quality of the information within the system.

The other options, while related to data loading activities, focus on different aspects. Indexing for fast access is not the primary function of Field Validation, and while data loads can occur with minimal user intervention in some cases, this does not pertain to the validation aspect. Additionally, data transformation refers to changes made to the data format or structure before it's loaded and is separate from validation processes. Thus, option B accurately represents the primary role of Field Validation in the context of Workday loading.
