Create New HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader
This is a user-friendly data loader, So it is generally used by business users to load simple single-object data that directly can be accessed from the object screen as well as from Data exchange. It can be used for creating/updating/deleting data but needs to create a separate spreadsheet for each operation.
Data security can be implemented on the HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader so that a specific spreadsheet template is accessible only by a specific business user, such as an HR user who can access only the hire template and a Payroll user who can access the element entry template.
Note: HDL does not have object-wise security.
The data is first loaded into the HCM spreadsheet data loader staging table and then loaded into the HDL staging table after reformatting it into HDL format.
