What occurs during the "Data Load Pre-Validation" step?

During the "Data Load Pre-Validation" step, formatting errors are identified and compliance is checked. This process is critical as it ensures that the data being prepared for upload into Workday adheres to the necessary data standards and formats required by the system. By validating data before the actual loading occurs, the likelihood of encountering issues during the loading process is significantly reduced. Pre-validation helps in identifying any inconsistencies, missing information, or incorrect data types that could cause errors later on, thereby enhancing data integrity and helping ensure a smooth implementation.

In contrast, records being permanently deleted from the system or data being encrypted prior to loading does not happen during this specific step. Additionally, not all data is automatically approved for loading as pre-validation serves to assess and approve only those records that meet the established criteria.
