To complement the standard Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) framework, Workday provides spreadsheet import templates that offer immediate business value by helping you upload data into Workday. You can generate templates directly in Workday. Each spreadsheet template is based on a template model that defines the column information for upload. To simplify data entry and streamline the upload process, you can edit the template model to fit your needs. For example, you can override column values, provide your own labels and cell comments, reorder worksheets, and hide unwanted items to customize the template for a specific purpose. Since the 20 updates, some web service operations now support Template Generation with Data to simplify data entry.

Inbound EIB is an Excel front-end to WWS. While it makes it easier for non-technical users to load bulk data into Workday, it does not eliminate the complexity of the Object Model exposed by the Workday Web Services.
