The final derived dataset in a Prism pipeline is complete and ready to publish.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

In Workday Prism Analytics, before publishing a derived dataset as a Prism data source (PDS), it’s important to ensure that the dataset is properly configured for downstream use. According to the official Workday Prism Analytics study path documents, one key step to take prior to publishing is to edit the Dataset API Name to reflect in the name of the Prism data source (option D). The Dataset API Name determines the name of the published Prism data source, which is used in reporting, discovery boards, and integrations. Setting a meaningful and descriptive API name (e.g., "Expense_Reports_by_Location") ensures that the data source is easily identifiable and aligns with naming conventions, improving usability and manageability in the Workday ecosystem. This step is a best practice to avoid confusion and ensure clarity for report writers and analysts.

The other options are not required or relevant:

A. Add a Group By stage to the final derived dataset to add summary calculations: Adding a Group By stage is not mandatory unless the use case specifically requires summarizations, which is not indicated here.

B. Create a table without the Enable for Analysis checkbox selected: Creating a new table is unnecessary, as the dataset is already complete, and the "Enable for Analysis" checkbox is relevant for real-time updates, not a requirement for publishing a derived dataset.

C. Create a derived dataset with the PDS suffix: Creating a new dataset is not needed, as the final derived dataset is already prepared, and adding a "PDS" suffix is not a required step for publishing.

Editing the Dataset API Name ensures the Prism data source has a clear and meaningful name, facilitating its use in reporting and analytics.
