Where can I find more information on building imports in IS? I am working on an EmployeeElectionImport that includes multiple elections for a single individual. Imagining the XML for this situation, I would have consecutive <Election> sets within the single grouping of <Employee>. However, I am getting an error in the IS mapping that two segments cannot have the same output name (Election). I'm a relative newbie so what am I misunderstanding?

IS import template with added Election segments:

Integration XML sample:

XML with multiple Election sets:

Thank you!

Hi @Barbara Buchanan that's definitely by design. At the same level/hierarchical structure you should only have unique output IDs. You may need to try defining one Election segment and configuring it as a repeating/array element.

For more details, the best resources are the Dayforce Integration Studio Administrator Guide (sections on destination schema and repeating elements) and the IDL documentation for parent-level expressions and array handling.
