Dayforce Connector
Intro
Dayforce is an industry-leading, online human capital management platform. Use Domo's Dayforce connector to provide HR, payroll, talent management, and many more modern workforce management solutions.

You connect to your Dayforce account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Dayforce connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites

The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
