Data storage locations, data sources

Updated over 2 months ago

The background to this decision is that data storage locations and data sources can often appear in different functions.

Example, processing activity payroll accounting

  • Data storage location: Personio application

  • Data is therefore stored in the application

Example, processing activity birthday cards

  • Data source: Personio application

  • The date “birthday” is used for the purpose from the Personio source.

If you have major problems with this, we recommend that you assign prefixes to data storage locations and data sources, e.g.

  • Q_ (for source)

  • S_ (for storage location)

Result:

  • Q_Person concerned

  • S_Personio

The alphabetical sorting of all entries within the dropdowns in the processing activities ensures a good sorting.
