To create and initialize a new Workforce Planning application, using
either Performance Management Architect application administration or Classic application
administration

Initializing Workforce Planning loads predefined:

existing employee structure, employee properties, and payroll data, from enterprise systems:
● If you are using Performance Management Architect application administration, load
information using a flat file
● If you are using Classic application administration, you can use DIM Adapter for Planning
or
Application Link
You can also:
● Manually enter information into Workforce Planning.
● Load metadata and data that generates data and rules files for loading metadata and data
